For exmaple; i could go hungry for a long while (not fasting), stay in the cold, isolate myself, punch hard surfaces etc. i knew that the Bible says that vegeance is for the Lord but the devil made sure that i felt guilty and think that without doing a thing, God could not forgive me. i reached an extent where by i could not even go to church cause every time they sang a song saying ‘we lift up holy hands’ the guilt hit me hard. i went for a new life class which i used to despise because i was saved for quite a while. God used one of my teachers to hit at me about avenging my own sin. from that day, i learnt that one should not take the gospel for granted no matter how basic it looks in certain aspects. people who have been born again for so many years tend to undermind certain basic bibilical principles. I encourage you to keep your head up no matter how many times you fall. there is a difference between living in sin and falling into sin. we all fall into sin, that is ok, but we should not live in sin.

A video of an elderly white pastor and his wife rapping a song that includes the phrase “Jesus is my N—a” has gone viral. At the time of this post, it has over 360,000 views.

Thankfully it’s most likely a fake intended for comedic and satirical purposes.

Last night, leading up to and during the 55th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, most hip-hop fans were probably paying attention to categories like Rap Album of the Year (won by Drake for Take Care), Best Rap Song (taken by “N**gas in Paris”) or how Frank Ocean would fare (he performed towards the end of the show and won for Best Urban Contemporary Album and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration). Those paying attention, though, might have caught another rap victory: Lecrae’s Gravity, which took home Best Gospel Album.

Hip hop doesn’t get much more personal than this. In the video for the song “Fatherless” (dropping online Tuesday, February 12), urban missionary Tre9 includes footage from the birth of his first biological child and scenes of his wife acting out her dramatic pre-salvation street life.

On March 26, 2013 DaSouth.com co-owner Bobby “Tre9” Herring is set to release Missionary Minded, possibly the final album in his rap career, with Rapture Recordz – a Houston-based mainstream hip hop label.

The project’s title, a play on hip hop legend KRS-ONE’s Criminal Minded and Spiritual Minded albums, reflects Tre9’s current focus as an urban missionary. Song topics will focus on issues he’s encountered in this role including the plague of fatherlessness and the wicked appeal “street life” has on the residents of inner-city communities.

Davon White,( AKA Dee Black), has overcome many obstacles that artists face in the music industry.  Growing up in Baltimore City, his journey of music began at the age of 16,  and was influenced by the fame and success of close friends that were in the rap industry.  It was the foundation of past experiences that eventually led him in 2002, to turn down a major label deal.  His music is a mix of hip hop, R&B, and gospel, and has been categorized as “life” music.  Promoting more of the positivity in hip hop culture is  Blacks’ primary focus.

His name is Jin — short for Jin Auyeung.

But as a high-schooler in Miami, he was better known as “the Chinese kid who raps,” a reputation he’s developed after frequenting local talent shows and rap competitions.

In 2004, at 22, he became the first Asian-American to release a solo rap album on a major label in the U.S.
