@HumbleTip dropping new mixtape "Brainwashed" soon


An artist that many sleep on is Humble Tip. His grind has been solid for years. I remember listening to his "Our Turn" record in high school. He has a fan base of over 10,000 when you combine his twitter and Facebook count. Also you might have heard him rap alongside artist like D-Maub, Magellan and Street Pastor @yavesEllis. I just heard he has multiple projects he is planning to drop. The first one is going to be a mix tape called "Brainwashed". Here is a tight music video he has released!!!

Derrick Rose proclaims faith in God

Basketball superstar Derrick Rose recently said that he doesn’t want his fans to worry about his recovery from his knee injury because he believes in God. He also wears faith based wrist bands, the same ones you might have seen Christian athlete Jeremy Lin rock. Also in an ADIDAS commercial he pulls a Bible out his bag. This makes me even more excited about cheering for him to win a ring. Derrick Rose is a young athlete that has represented his faith in a powerful way. He works hard and shows a great amount of humility. Let’s pray that he keeps shining his light before millions of NBA fans. Keep Rose in prayer, I want to see him back on the court giving God glory.

In the video below he pulls a Bible out his bag:

5 Christian Hip-Hop duet albums that would be awesome


Hip-Hop has had some pretty solid duet albums in its history by artist like Eric B and Rakim, OutKast, Mobb Deep, and UGK. Between 2010-2012 a few popular duet albums have been released. Nas and Damian Marley recorded an album called “Distant Relatives”. We saw Eminem and Royce Da 5’9 make a record entitled “Hell: The Sequel”. Also Kanye West and Jay-Z dropped a chart topping project called “Watch the Throne”. Some of the most talented artists in the secular arena seem to enjoy combining their sounds together to see what they might produce. Christian Hip-Hop has seen artist do the same thing and succeed at it but some of the big names like Lecrae have never collaborated with another believer that is a top tier talent on a full length CD. Corey Red and Precise, Grits, and Hazakim have all created notable albums but that's not like Kanye and Jay doing an album together in the Christian world. Newer artist have delivered some high quality collaborative projects. Bizzle and Bumps INF have a mix tape together. Dre Murray collaborated with producer Wit and a classic series called Hell’s Paradise was the outcome. One of the newest CHH groups Social Club (FERN and Marty Mar) has released a slew of material and are going to release information on their next project very soon.That is cool but this new era of Christian Hip-Hop hasn't had two legends collaborate on a whole album. For a duet album to come into existence many obstacles have to be overcome. Egos can't ruin the process plus schedules have to unite .Being that two solo artist joining forces has produced some amazing results, here are five duet albums that would be a dream come true for Christian Hip-Hop. 

Thi’sl and Flame
Both artists have aggressive styles and both are from St.Louis.

Lecrae and Andy Mineo
The most popular artist in Christian Hip-Hop doing an album with our genres favorite up and comer would be very interesting.

Braille and Propaganda
Braille and Propaganda are two of the most creative artist in Hip-Hop. Their lyrical styles fused together would create a timeless project.

KB and Tedashii
Both can spit at rapid fire pace, It would be flow exhibition. This would amp up listeners.

Da T.R.U.T.H and The Ambassador
These two legends have been on the same label twice (Cross Movement and Xist Music). Both are masters at conveying theological concepts and they are compatible musically. A collaborative album would be epic.
