Dear Holy Hip Hop & Gospel Community:

By clicking on the 'Listen' button below, each week (4-part series) you will hear a short MP3 Audio mix, created by DJ Lace. This week's Featured Ministers of the Gospel, along with a written overview explaining the purpose of the song, are as follows:

1. Shei Atkins - “Praise Him”
Synopsis of Song: The song was written out of a personal expression of praise God in a unique way. Its goal is to encourage youth and young adults to give God praise in their own personal way. God made us all unique and everything that has breath should praise the Lord. We pray to see the praise of the Lord become common place in the everyday lives of our youth and young adults.

2. Izreal - “Focus”  
Synopsis of Song: I wrote this song thinking about how much God almighty focuses on the daily lives and happiness of we undeserving creatures. The purpose of the song is to get people to think about how powerful and life changing focus and diligence can be. “I focus like a thief in the night...” is how the chorus to the song begins. When a thief enters a home, he is determined and focused on not leaving until he has acquired something. Jesus came to earth to die, and was so focused on his mission, his love for us, that he was able to overcome the fear that tried to beset him in the garden of Gethsemane. I am focused on entering into God's presence and not leaving until I have acquired a small piece of him.

3. Mariaha Markel - "Dedication to Holy Hip Hop"
Synopsis of Song: The spoken word is laced with lyrics that give a shout out to those laboring hard in the ministry, The Rhythmic American Poet (RAPpers) of the gospel. Written in the spirit of Christ on behalf of urban music ministers of the word, this spoken word piece is rooted in encouragement and honor to the rapid movement of holy hip-hop. Most importantly, this piece theme’s to paint a clear picture of what holy hip-hop is. Developed as a tool to witness to people, “Dedication to Holy Hip Hop” is poetry exercised without limit that speaks boldly that the word, 'spoken', offers an answer, a solution, a way out of the struggle and into the light of salvation and the saving grace of Christ.
