The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is quite possibly the most recognizable choir on the planet. Their powerful and uplifting live performances have been wowing audiences since before I was born, no matter how in or out of fashion the style of music (or it’s message) was. The renowned choir has returned with a live offering entitled [...]

California’s Chinglish Holy Hip Hopper, Only Won, is one of many faces. He has shared the stage with underground peers Deeper Than Most, The Holy Rida, and One Truth, among others. In addition to his hip-hop work he is also an actor and model who has appeared alongside Ang Lee, Ashley Judd, Jennifer Connelly, and [...]

The revitalized Syntax Records collective has certainly been making their presence felt as of late. It’s always an event when underground hip-hop heroes like Redcloud and L.A. Symphony release new records but the party gets that much wilder when another roster mainstay comes into his own. That, my friends, is exactly what happens on Braille’s [...]

While both Sandra McCracken and Derek Webb have well established names in musical circles, this is the husband and wife duo’s first collaboration. The Ampersand EP was born from an invitation they were given separately to write songs for a Caedmon’s Call record. They found the natural discussion over the songs each was writing led [...]

Sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due. And sometimes you happily eat your words. Both of those apply here. When Hawk Nelson first hit the scene I found them to be very likable young men but never in my wildest dreams did I think they would be around two years after their [...]

There are very few, if any, CCM artists that describe their lives like this: “I wasn’t looking for God ever. I started going the other direction at birth.” The refreshingly honest statement is simply the tip of the iceberg when discussing Taylor’s debut offering, Take Me Anywhere. Since interning at Soul Survivor church alongside worship [...]

Michael English returns to audio players everywhere with his first album of new material in eight long years. It’s no secret that English’s career has been tainted in some listener’s eyes over the last decade due to some poor life choices but The Prodigal Comes Home is an undeniable statement of identity and acceptance. The [...]
