NYC Christian Hip-Hop Part 3: Moving Forward

As we enter the third quarter year, there is still work to be done.

As the Kingdom Choice Awards (KCA’s) approaches; on Broadway, we were blessed with events and albums from artists in NYC. We just had Revive III, Richard Dauphin dropped his long-awaited album “Vanguard Talk,” Slave da Nyth Inning’s retirement concert, and more!

So the big question for NYC CHH is: what’s next?

Here are my opinions, predictions and thoughts I have to further push CHH in NYC:

• Annual CHH events other than the Kingdom Choice Awards (Kingdom Rising, Barcode, something similar to RapFest)

• More album release concerts. CONQUEST set the standard of what an album release concert should look like. Not just rapping and singing music from the album, but presenting it as a story/movie. Invite the audience into your mind, story and life.

• NYC Christian Hip Hop community events where we get together to fellowship and network. The CHHA.

• A NYC compilation album.

• More newly emerging CHH artists from the New York area.

• More people coming to Jesus through CHH events.

As NYC CHH continues its resurgence, I pray our unity gets stronger for the world to see and that New York has something to say. As a hip-hop head and Christ follower, I believe NYC is the best representation of producing hip-hop with faith-based lyricism and straight up bars!

Also, I curate a playlist with some of NYC’s dopest rappers and singers on Spotify. Take a listen.

I also have a classic NYC Christian Hip Hop playlist to honor the OG’s in the space. Take a listen.

Can't forget about the ladies of NYC Christian Hip-Hop! Take a listen.

Here’s to a New Year, New Beginning, New Season and Stronger Community!
