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.
