VIDEO: Tedashii - "Dum Dum" (Ft Lecrae)

Our international brothers at Reach Records are really doing us proud these days. Here is Tedashii, another strongman of the 166 Clique (that also inludes Lecrae and Trip Lee), with his wild, no-holds-barred club-credible, MTV-compatible video, "Dum Dum" (off his "Blacklight" album), that also features Lecrae. Definitely a candidate for the permanently-on-repeat button.

MUSIC: Statik Selektah & Lecrae - "Live & Let Live"

Fresh off BET's 2011 Hip Hop Cypha, Xtian hip hop's major frontliner, Lecrae,  gets featured by DJ/Producer Statik Selektah, who supplies the classic-type beat to which Lecrae laces premium flows and hooks on. The joint is the first single off Statik's 'Population Control' album. Cop the track and give us your thoughts on it...

VIDEO: Lecrae Appears On BET Hip Hop Awards 2011 International Cypha

A real historic and monumental step forward for Xtian Hip Hop worldwide, here is Xtian Rap mega-heavyweight Lecrae (mis-spelt Lacrae) holding his own ever so beautifully on BET's 2011 Hip Hop Awards International Cypher, alongside such acts as Estelle & Nitty Scott. Did he 'murder' all other emcees on the cypher? Hmmm...we leave you to decide that one...

VIDEO: Gaise - "Follow Follow"

Peep this viddy from a curious budding act named Gaise, titled "Follow Follow", in which he scorns senseless adoption of every single Western cultural norm over some of our own positive native/traditional paradigms. Creative stuff, ostensibly.

Gaise's Album, "GAISEBABA", is available on iTunes at this link: http://itunes.apple.com/album/gaisebaba/id455707490

Hip hopper with professional techniques, Protek brings to us the "Holy Cypha", a very robust collaboration of 12 emcees (see album art for full list).

VIDEO: Tope Thompson - "Ope Mi Po"

Worship singer Tope Thompson, after months of seemingly being off-grid, returns to the spotlight with the video to her single, "Ope Mi Po". Shot on location in Tarkwa Bay, the viddy is simply an expression of gratitude. Good use of African costumes and jewelery, by the way.
