Introducing ... Benjiman

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:13:00 +0000

Veteran Gospel rapper Benjiman released his sophomore CD, S.K.R.I.P.T. (Spreading Kingdom Realities In Perilous Times), on October 6, 2009 on Save the City Records. This guy has mad talent! I was impressed during my first listen, blown away by the lyrics on my second listen and wowed by the beats on my third. Needless to say, this album is a keeper!

Mary Mary Remixes "God in Me"

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:43:44 +0000

It's not every day that a mainstream rapper teams up with a gospel group to make music, but that is exactly what Erica and Tina Campbell (aka Mary Mary) and Yung Joc did when they released a remix of the popular "God in Me." This song works on so many levels - the talent, the beat, the music and the rap intro - that it appeals to a wide variety of age groups.

Listen to "God in Me" remixed (full stream)

In other Mary Mary news, a big congrats goes out to them for getting four nominations for the 2010 Stellar Awards! They are up for Song of the Year - "God In Me," Group Duo of the Year - The Sound, Contemporary Group/Duo of the Year and Urban/Inspirational Single/Performance of the Year - "God In Me." The sisters also recently won a Soul Train Award for Best Gospel Performance.
