Gospel News
1. Holy Hip-Hop is not dead!! Gospel rap is steadily gaining in popularity as this article explains. As a mother, this is great news to me. It is great to have an alternative to the “other” rap music that is out there. When our music store was open we had many parents bring in their children for popular rap music played on the radio only to balk at purchasing because of the Parental Advisory Label. The kids got upset because they said the clean CD “didn’t sound the same” and many parents would not buy the regular CD. Gospel rap was not as popular then. It is great that there is gospel rap with beats that sound just as good as any other CD. Some gospel rap artists I like are Canton Jones, T-Bone and Shei Atkins.
2. North Texas is becoming a popular area for Gospel artists to live. According to this article, many artists such as Fred Hammond, David & Tamla Mann, Beverly Crawford and Kirk Franklin make North Texas home. Fred Hammond chose Dallas because he enjoyed the teaching of Bishop T.D. Jakes. Houston is also a popular spot for Gospel artists. Steve Crawford and Da’adra Greathouse of the duo Anointed, Kurt Carr and Yolanda Adams call Houston home.
