Rey King drops a brand new record!!!!

Rising Movements – CTF Records: A Unique Movement in Miami

#GB4G

Recently I got the opportunity to have a conversation with the main man behind the expansion of the CTF Records movement. His name is Gustavo Cruz and he is a Hispanic believer that resides in Miami. Gustavo is not the average believer that loves to keep the church seats warm. Gustavo Cruz has a balanced formula of love, knowledge (Knox theological seminary), and work ethic that is helping Gospel rappers Authentik and Oscar Urbina express a biblical world view to the masses. CTF records have joined other ministries like His House Orphanage, First Priority, Prison Fellowship, One Hope and Youth for Christ. These brothers are authentically dedicated to the cause of Christ.This crew of urban missionaries has not only gone above and beyond the status quo when it comes to laboring for the Lord, they have also honed their craft to a level that is set to make them a household name in Christian Hip-Hop. I only say this because I had the privilege to see some of the inner workings of the ministry.  Be on the lookout for anything they drop. They have been on the low creating hits.

     They have a unique combination of important elements that make Gospel Hip-Hop artist effective.  First they are versed in scripture (Oscar Urbina – Moody Bible Institute and Gustavo Cruz – Knox Theological Seminary) and this team of ministers also have quality music in the vault. They also have the ability to make music that is outside the box. If you heard Authentik’s latest mix tape: Tip of the Iceberg, expect the upcoming project “groans before glory” to be a night and day difference. CTF in association with One Hope International has also been working on "The Bible Project".  The first track of this 10 video compilation is titled: The Fall, which is written and produced by Authentik. That record hints to the fact that they are going to supersede the local standard of music in my opinion. I was invited to take a look at their studio and recreational facility and I must say they have a very professional setting. The collaborations they have in the works will expand their ministry to new levels as well. Sorry, I can’t reveal who will be on the album; it’s a surprise. 

     Yes, Authentik is preparing to release their new album and the wordsmith Oscar Urbina is now part of the doctrinally sound record label but there is even greater things brewing. Gustavo Cruz was telling me about his vision to make the facility CTF records operates out of, a place urban youth can congregate, get discipled and create Gospel Hip-Hop; that ministry will be called "The Booth". This has potential to change the hearts of many in South Florida for the Glory of Christ. Also there are plans to help those in need through the Youth vs. Hunger campaign at a special unannounced location.  CTF record is a family of believers worth keeping an eye on.

IN-DEPTH INTERVIEW WITH GUSTAVO CRUZ ON FNFLIVE.COM is coming soon (TBA)

Check out their website: ctfrecords.org and www.youtube.com/authentik210

Here is the brand new record from “The Bible Project”: 

Is it wrong for Christians to Battle rap?

Picture of Isaac Knox

Is it wrong for Christians to Battle rap? 

     I feel that it's all a matter of the heart.Whats your motive behind doing it? Is it for your own glory? Is it to break others down? I can't judge anyone's heart but I can analyze the fruit and I feel there can be powerful fruit in battling if done with the right motive.  Yes the Bible speaks of not breaking another person down. But in the Hip-Hop world battling is supposed to be done with love and with respect for the culture. At the end of the battle we know that the cracks on the other emcee was for fun and shouldn't be taken literally.If your in a battle you should know what to expect, we know that it's all a display of hyperbole.You shouldn't feel the person is breaking you down to destroy your life or something: It's a sport. The Battle world is filled with many people who don't know the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Why not infiltrate that world by battling in excellence and being a Godly example. Don't put God in a box! Can Battling and keeping your testimony be done at the same time.Yes, I believe I have found the guy who has accomplished that. He is a rapper that resides in Orlando that goes by the name of Issac Knox. He creates witty battle lines that can resemble a creative cracking session between youth group attenders at Denny's. It's all love. I don't feel the man ever crosses the line when he battles. He doesn't degrade women, curse or blaspheme Christ. All Issac Knox does is create high quality battle raps that stay in line with his faith. It's genius. Check out one of his battles and give me your take on this matter.

Warning: Hindu Rock curses(Some may not be able to handle). Issac Knox is the one who is a Christian.

KJ-52: You got to respect him

     

     KJ-52 is one of the most underrated rappers in Hip-Hop. I believe he deserves to be seen as a legend in Christian Hip-Hop. KJ-52 was making quality music when Christian Hip-Hop was not getting close to the bar the secular industry raised. The first time I was introduced to KJ’s music was about 7 years ago at “acquire the fire” (Youth Conference). To be completely honest I’m not a big fan of everything he does. I feel a lot of his verses are not that lyrical and his flow is not the most complex but I admit that he has excellent verse at times and he I think he makes hit songs. I don’t think his flow is out of this world but it definitely is solid and his voice works for a rapper. You may wonder why exactly I think he is a legend; I feel he is a legend because he brought Christian Hip-Hop to a larger crowd through his ability to successfully fuse Hip-Hop with Contemporary Christian Music. He has won many awards like the GMA dove’s and has hustled for the cause of Christ in ways many artists only talk about doing. I love KJ-52 as an overall artist. His social network grind is ahead of the game in many ways, just one look at his YouTube page and Facebook page will show you how many people support his movement.KJ-52 is constantly working on something; it could be on an album, a freestyle Friday video or some type of devotional.  KJ-52 may not be my favorite rapper but he is above average and his impact on the game cannot undermined. You got to respect him.

You sure you want to battle KJ-52?

My Top 5 Favorite Christian Hip-Hop Albums of All Time

1.Rhema Soul – Red

This is my favorite Christian Rap album out because I feel its lyrics, flow, production, and arrangement is off the charts. Rhema Soul stays Hip-Hop but effectively mixes Rock, pop and other genres in the project. The collaborations are with heavy hitters like This’l, Shonlock, Benjah, Jai, and Ryan Stevenson. I am a huge fan of this group and feel this is their best work thus far. 

Favorite Song:

2.T-Bone – The Last Street Preacha

This album is a classic. T-Bone is a pioneer of Christian Hip-Hop. This album was Grammy nominated and has some of the most respected tracks in Hip-Hop. This is off the chain and was very relevant for the time. The sound is outdated now but you got to respect the work of the legends. 

Favorite Song:

3.The Ambassador – The Thesis

This record is a lyrical master piece. It proves that The Ambassador is one of the greatest lyricists ever. You got to give honor where honor is due and so I got to say the Ambassador is nice with it. This album like “The Last Street Preacha” has a sound that kind of went off the radar but regardless of that fact both albums display a rapper executing the technical aspects of rapping at a genius level. 

Favorite Song:

4. Da T.R.U.T.H  - The Whole Truth

Da T.R.U.T.H is one of my all-time favorites. He combined being a legitimate emcee with commercial instrumentals. Not many can do this effectively but Da T.R.U.T.H pulled it off. If you know me, you know that I love the world of underground Hip-Hop and commercial Hip-Hop. Da T.R.U.T.H brought both worlds together. This is an album you must get.

Favorite Song:

5. Lecrae – Church Clothes

This is one of my favorite albums for two main reasons. Lecrae is one of my favorite artists and this is his most significant record. This brought Christian Hip-Hop to a mainstream audience like no other album. With production by Producers like Boi-1da and 9^th Wonder you know it was sonically on point. Greatness is what you will hear if you spin “Church Clothes”.

Favorite Song:

Hip-Hop devotional: (Viktory edition) Relentless 4evr

     

     

     In the scriptures it says “he who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24:13). So if you have received his grace that saves (Ephesians 2:8) you will grind for the Kingdom till the end because you are no longer dead but regenerated. This Christian walk is not a game, it’s a blood sport,you are battling against the lustful media trying to infiltrate your mind. You are battling against your own sinful nature (Romans 3:23) and against this powers of darkness. Well not really you but the Holy Spirit in you. With the Holy Spirit we can overcome evil with good. We can move mountains and prove all the skeptics that what we profess with our mouth is not a game and it is definitely not a joke. Get into the word, pray and put your armor on. Jesus wants all of you and he wants you to live his lifestyle twenty-four seven. It’s time the troops rally and impact this nation!!! He wants you to press in!!!He wants you to be RELENTLESS FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

Record that inspired the devotional!!!

The Top Ten Christ Centered Hip-Hop Artist (SOFLA)

Based on Industry impact and talent combined!!!

1.  @ Rhema Soul 

Rhema Soul is a Hip-Hop powerhouse. I can’t think of any Christian Hip-Hop group that has had more national recognition then Rhema Soul. Rhema Soul is a three lyricist combo that consists of Juan Love, Butta P and K-Nuff. They have appeared on Fuse TV and have been mentioned in major publications like Sister 2 Sister. They have also performed alongside musical greats like Grits, Relient K, David Crowder Band, and Switchfoot. You might have seen them perform at one of the biggest concerts in the state called “Rock the Universe”. Their latest hit album “Red” was produced by heavy weights Andy Anderson (TobyMac, Group One Crew), Rey King and AD. Make sure you get the new record, I heard it and it’s a classic.

2. @Iamreyking

Rey King is known as the most controversial artist in South Florida but don’t get it twisted he is also known by many as the most talented. No solo artist has gotten as much buzz as Rey King on major Christian Hip-Hop sites like Dasouth.com. I went to a post about his critically acclaimed mix tape “Black Friday” and saw thousands of comments, one day I went to revisit the post and found that the comments were wiped out. Rumor has it that dasouth.com had to shut that comment board down. Rey King has multiple talents, he has impacted those in South Florida and around the world. The man rap, sings, produces, engineers and could probably do more musical things I didn’t name. Everything he does is at a high level. He has produced for major Hip-Hop groups like Rhema Soul and he has produced for top caliber Latin artist like Rey Cruz. If you type “Rey King” in the YouTube search bar and look at his hits you will immediately figure out the guy has influence. He is starting a movement called IAMYG.COM with local all-stars Young King and Leslie Grace. 

3. @TheBlessEdKid

If you made this statement: “Bless’ed is the best rapper from South Florida”. I would not think you’re crazy. This dude is lyrically insane. His flow is off the charts and he has been able to reach the masses for Jesus. He has millions of YouTube hits and has one of the most recognized albums in Christian Hip-Hop history. His album the “ The Bless’ed project” charted number 6 on ITunes at the same time Lecrae and Trip Lee were on the iTunes charts. He was part of Hip-Hop history, never had there been a time when three Christian Hip-Hop albums were in the top 10 Hip-Hop section before. Bless’ed has collaborated with some of the best like Bizzle, Cheno Lyfe and Rey King. The dude hasn’t dropped anything for a min but don’t sleep I predict the flood is coming.

4. @HeartOfficialAD

A.D like Rey King also is more than a rapper. He raps, sings, engineers and produces at a commercial market level. He has produced on the Rhema Soul’s classic album “Red” and has a mix tape out that has created quite a buzz around the city called “Life After”. A.D has in some way worked with the likes of Bizzle, Bless’ed, Cheno Lyfe, Rhema Soul, Rey King and more. 

5. @eddienigma21

Some may question why I would put him so high but I really don’t care. This list does have an element of industry impact but it’s also based on talent. This list isn't just based on Championship rings but also on individual Statistics. Eddie Nigma is one of the hottest lyricists you will ever hear. There are a few people that I can think of that have more industry impact but Eddie Nigma has still left a mark on the industry so don’t read what I’m not saying. Eddie Nigma has been on national records like “International” by DJ Morph and Young Joshua’s album “think out loud”. He has collaborated with the deadliest lyricist you can think of.   One search of him on Google or YouTube will confirm that I’m not crazy. He has been respected by the likes of rapzilla.com, dasouth.com, sphereofhiphop.com and fnflive.com. This dude is underrated by many but I won’t make that mistake. The only issue I think people have with him is that we have been waiting a long time for an album. 

6. @SocialxClub

Social Club is one of the most relevant and consistent crews from South Florida at the moment. They have two of the best in the game in Marty Mar (known for Rhema Soul collabs) and one of the best rappers in Fern. They are now considered two of the top names in South Florida and did it in less than 2 years. 2011 and 2012 has so far been their year for South Florida Mix tapes. They have been promoted heavy by the number one Christian Hip-Hop site in the world rapzilla.com. I could not forget to put them somewhere on this list. 

7. @dremarshall

Dre Marshall has been grinding for years and can’t be ignored. He has collaborated with Mahogany Jones, Rey King, Leon Timbo, Canton Jones and Kurtis Blow. His mix tapes are highly loved by Hip-Hop fans across the world. Dude has one of the nicest flows I have heard and is relevant with his music.  

8. @JoeJustiz

Joe Justiz is a very unique artist. He can blend lyrical ability with sick commercial vibes. He is great at doing love songs and everyone would love to have him on their hook. He has appeared on many national records and has collaborated with big names like DJ Morph, G-Notes, K-Nuff of Rhema Soul, Eddie Nigma, Cheno Lyfe, and many more. He has definitely been killing it over the years and South Florida is waiting for new heat. 

9. @chenolyfe 

Cheno Lyfe is known as Christian Hip-Hop’s number one hustler. This dude is doing a million things for the Lord in Miami. He was the winner of the Ministry is Major Conference in 2008, a legendary competition that was put together by Miami’s media personality J-Blaze from FNFLIVE.COM. After that conference he released what went on to be a classic Christian Hip-Hop album “Home”. With his “Home” album he was able to tour the country with national acts. He has collaborated with Pablo from Group One Crew, K-Drama, D-Maub, Rhema Soul and more. He will be performing at Flavor Fest 2012 and also expect a brand new album soon. 

10. G-Notes

He has dropped one of the best commercial albums out of South Florida “Bright Lights Magic City”, and he has performed at national events like Flavor Fest. He has gotten a lot of love from sites like rapzilla.com and dasouth.com. 

5 Artist to watch out for 

       1. Danny from the Lab

       2. Young King @IAMColinAnsby

       3. L.O.S @LegionofSouls

       4. Mac Reps @macreps12

       5. Authentik @authentik210

Say Goodbye to yesterday! Hip-Hop Devotional (Rhema Soul edition)

   
   Everyday God’s mercies are new but many times we don’t let that truth soak into our heart. We are sometimes held back by guilt/shame/condemnation or we can’t move on in some area because we are paralyzed by a past failure. It’s like we no longer want to pick the ball up and run with it because there is too much disappointment that has occurred in our life. It doesn’t have to be that way, failure can be used to motivate you and God certainly uses it to prune us so we grow mightier than before. One of the issues that can block God’s growing process is our unwillingness to break out and say good bye to yesterday. Today is different than yesterday. No matter what you have failed at you are made in the image of God and have potential. If you’re still alive God has work to do with you. Fix the things that are out of order with God’s help, think about your God given successes in some areas for encouragement and move forward. Today you have a new mindset if you want one. If you are a Follower of Jesus Christ the Old is gone and you are a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17). Break out of the old and into the new life that God has freely given you. Remember that now is the time to change (2 Corinthian 6:2). Don’t stay stuck in sin: Once again I encourage breaking out into the zone God wants you to be in. A zone where you desire to sacrifice your life for God and live this life the way he designed you to instead of living for the flesh. You don’t have to feel condemned for anything anymore (Romans 8:1). You have power through the Holy Spirit to overcome the evil in this world plus your sinful nature. Break out, live life today and do it with zeal!!!  Romans 12:11

Record that relates to the message:

Hip-Hop lives in Miami: its home is a place called Catalyst

Hip-Hop and I go way back. I remember driving in my cousin’s car and falling in love with Hip-Hop while listening to Eminem’s hit single “The Real Slim Shady”.  I was probably about 6 or 7 years old, no older than 8. Ever since then I was infatuated with the art of emceeing. I would listen to as many records I could get my hands on. I loved to go to used record stores and find the classics. I would spend hours trying to conjure up lyrics and flow patterns. As time progressed I started performing at open mics and events and decided to pursue a career in the music industry. Now at the age of twenty I am still honing my craft and trying to somehow break into music industry. I say all of that to say this: I am extremely passionate about Hip-Hop culture. Being that I live in Miami it can sometimes be hard to find others who share the same sentiments that I do for Hip-Hop. Miami is known for its power 96 party music and isn’t revered as a lyrical hot spot like New York and Chicago are. Don’t get it twisted I have met some authentic Hip-Hop aficionado’s and I have come into contact with some small Hip-Hop back pack lyrical communities but it’s really a rare species in Miami overall, in my opinion. At least it is compared to the vibrant poetic activity you hear about in the North parts of the U.S. Despite everything I just said Hip-Hop is not dead in Miami. There is a spot in Miami Springs keeping alive the essence of the culture and doing it in excellence. That place is called Catalyst.

I would have never expected a place like this to be in Miami and now I am being put on to some other spots but I feel there won’t be one that is as unique as what I discovered at Catalyst. I learned about Catalyst through a mentor of mine Manny “Jblaze” Garcia. He told me that if I wanted to see if I was a true lyricist that I should test my skills at Catalyst. I heard that one of my favorite groups Rhema Soul had performed there as well. I was very intrigued when he told me about the spot. Months after he told me about Catalyst he informed me that I would be performing at Catalyst for DJ Twin’s birthday party on Cinco de Mayo. Finally I would be able to check out the spot I had wanted to see.

After searching for Catalyst I finally arrived. It was in a back street in Miami Springs behind a Church. As I walked past the gates the excitement level increased. As soon as I saw dudes spray painting whole walls the excitement level went off the radar. I walked up the stairs and there before my eyes were serious Hip-Hop heads break dancing/creating graffiti art/emceeing and DeeJaying that organic Hip-Hop. REAL HIP-HOP!!! I encountered a bunch of dudes who were passionate about the art of Hip-Hop. I got to meet some awesome people like Joel Stigale (dude in charge lol), Sekajipo, Rudy Barro, Charlie Fast, Dee Jay Twin plus other great people. The Catalyst is an authentic Hip-Hop spot that you got to check out. Any Hip-Hop artist can pretty much go and express themselves but beware you will get merked on the mic if you aren’t a real emcee lol. The Catalyst was a mind stimulating experience but what impressed me more than the elements of Hip-Hop that were executed was the fact that it was a place that’s main goal was to help people walk in their purpose and find the life changing hope of Jesus Christ. This place exposes the most secular artist you can think of to the saving Knowledge of Jesus and they don’t beat people over the head with it. They create an environment where respectful dialogue on important matters can be talked about. It was powerful to see one of the illest artists in South Florida “Sekajipo” be more than an artist and actually minister in the middle of the night. If you want a dope positive Hip-Hop spot with food, great entertainment and intellectual commentary check out the Catalyst. #real talk - link for more info http://www.catalysthiphop.com/

Why I still believe the Chicago Bulls will win the NBA Championship!!!

    

     Derrick Rose is the youngest MVP in NBA history and he is the leader of the number one seed Chicago Bulls. Derrick Rose led the Bulls to the Eastern Conference Finals and the best record in the East for two seasons in a row. He also has a career average of 21PPG and about 7APG. In the 2012 Regular season Rose averaged about 22PPG and 8APG. Derrick Rose is a beast but the Chi-town hero tore his ACL and will not be on the court for the rest of the playoffs….. Chicago fans have never been this deflated by any other moment in Chicago Bulls history. Miami Heat fans are secretly rejoicing and the flicker of Championship hope in Chicago seems to be fading out. I can hear Bull Haters whisper behind my back that the Chicago Bulls are done, toast, burnt, scarred and cursed but Paul Martinez aka Fynishline will take a stand for Chicago Bull fans all across the world and say “I still believe that the Chicago Bulls will win the NBA World Championship!!!!”  After that statement you might think I have a valid point or I am a fanatical loony Bull’s fan. The truth is it is both.

WHY THE BULLS WILL WIN THE TITLE!!!

The Chicago Bulls have played a significant amount of the season without Luol Deng, Richard Hamilton and Derrick Rose and the Bulls have the number one record despite that. The Chicago Bulls beat the Miami Heat two games in a row this season without their major stars. We are not a one man team. Did you know that Carlos Boozer, Richard Hamilton, Luol Deng are all All-Stars and guess what they are all healthy. The Chicago Bulls with the one Derrick Rose injury is more complete than it has been the majority of the season and I believe we are better than last year. We are the deepest team in the league and have been successful because of Rebounding, Defense and coaching. The Bulls rank first in rebounding and Defense with Derrick Rose out for 27 games this season. The Chicago Bulls also have one of the deadliest benches ever plus  Coach of the Year Coach Tom Thibodeau who helped the Boston Celtics win a Championship(Did you forget that haters).

I think it’s safe to say that the Bulls will the take the first two rounds without the prolific Derrick Rose but it is also safe to say that most “think” the Bull’s will get swept by the Miami Heat. I disagree; the Chicago Bulls will beat the Heat in 7. The Miami Heat consists of LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade and a bunch of people who underachieve. The Bulls no longer have their one “super star” but one “super star” is not all they got. The Chicago Bulls got two starting line ups and three all-stars without Derrick Rose.  I see it like this: LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade vs. Luol Deng, Richard Hamilton, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah, CJ Watson, Ronnie Brewer, Omer Asik, Taj Gibson, Kyle Korver, Jimmy Butler, John Lucas and Tom Thibodeau. All the guys I named for the Bulls are either impact players or at least good.

The Chicago Bulls play with heart like no other team in the league and they will avenge the eastern conference finals lost to the Miami Heat for our MVP Derrick Rose. The Chicago Bulls play defense better. They play as a team better. The Heat has gotten better as well but not as much as the Bulls. We are the deepest and most compatible team I have ever seen and I can’t wait for our bigs to dominate the boards vs. the Heat.  The Heat should be praying that Omer Asik gets injured because when he got injured that’s when the Heat took off last year in the East finals. We couldn’t dominate the boards as well without Omer Asik. The Miami Heat’s big three may just have enough fire power to take out our entire roster but I think we will overcome the enemy. I BELIEVE. I BELIEVE THE CHICAGO BULLS WILL DOMINATE THE BOARDS AGAINST THE HEAT. I BELIEVE ARE OTHER PLAYERS WILL STEP UP LIKE NEVER BEFORE. I BELIEVE WE WILL OUT COACH THE HEAT. I BELIEVE WE WILL PLAY BETTER DEFENSE. I BELIEVE WE WILL HAVE SUFFICIENT SCORING AND I HAVE STATS TO BACK IT UP.

THE CHICAGO BULLS WILL WIN THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP!!! THE CHICAGO BULLS WILL BEAT THE MIAMI HEAT!!!......without Derrick Rose

Be doers and not over-thinkers

               What’s going on family this is my first blog and the reason I will start blogging is because I want to share with you things that are important to me. Let’s get it started! The first thing I would like to tackle is overthinking. You may ask why I would want to blog about overthinking well the answer is simple, over thinking is something I have struggled with and I am now overcoming it. Overthinking is thinking of ways to fulfill your goals for so long that you actually don’t fulfill them. Overthinking is letting something small that has occurred dominate your thinking pattern. Over thinking is thinking so long about the best way to accomplish something that you’re actually hindering the process. Don’t overthink lol like my good friend Cheno Lyfe said “you just got to go in and get it done, that’s what separates people from the pack”. I can think of so many situations where overthinking has messed me up. As a developing artist and hard critic of other artist lol I have found myself thinking too much about lyrical approach especially since I want to make sure my music lines up with my values. Or I have thought too much about releasing a song that I know is not my best for too long when I could have just used that time to fix it. Another example is I might have something to tell someone but I keep thinking about how I’m going to do it because I’m so concerned about doing things properly.  Of course you have to stop and think but eventually you got to take action.  Overthinking can be a serious problem. For example many Christians sit around thinking about and talking about things like predestination vs. free will but fail to evangelize to someone or even walk out their faith in basic areas. I’ll admit that I have fallen into worrying about things that are useless and thinking about doctrines that have nothing to do with walking out my faith. So many Christians keep thinking about things that are not worthy to be thought of for more than a certain amount of time for example the end of the world lol (no one knows) or which denomination is doing the best job. In 1 Thessalonians Chapter Five Verse One the Apostle Paul says he is not going to talk about things like the times and dates because it has no use, no one knows. So even the Apostle Paul made sure he wasn’t getting into something unnecessary but he got to the point. Let’s get to the important things.  So certain things are cool and beneficial to study and fun to think about but eventually you got to stop majoring in the minor and take action. Eventually you have to stop worrying about the Illuminati and do something productive lol.  If you don’t have a relationship with God, stop thinking about how you need salvation and receive Christ. If you know Christ stop thinking about how there is so much messed up and just get to making an impact and changing things. This is something I need to work on as well.
