Finish it

What it Do fam, Sorry about the sporadic blogging and inconsistency, but its really hard for me to do this. I have been wanting to write about a few things for a few weeks but for some reason I just didn't. Who knows, maybe im just a lil too lazy, Nawwww that aint it. LOL

N-E-Way, a few weeks ago I got a chance to go to the album release party for Richie Righteous. If you haven't heard of him, he is probably the top NY Gospel Rap artist right now. He has been grinding for 10+ years, before alot of us even knew God Like that. Needless to say, his grind has paved the way for alot of us to get in and start doing our thing, including myself.

So I got to his party mad late, as in, I only got to see him perform the last song of the night :( But what I experienced in such a short time was a serious presence of God in the room. You could feel the air was thick with anointing as soon as you walked in the building. He was performing this song "I Cant Make It Without You" and the whole auditorium was with him. I literally saw every Christian Rapper in NY that I have ever met at his album release party. It was more than just a release party, it was like the beginning of a movement. I realized that this music thing is too big for any one of us to put it on our backs. There may never be a Jay-Z or 50 Cent of Gospel Rap. But there is going to be a takeover, the same way the south took over secular hip hop.

To me it was a celebration of not only Rich's Album, but all hte hard work that he and others like him, put into this ministry. A Tearing down the walls of persecution for being a Holy Hip Hop artist. Opening up of eyes and opportunity to help this movement grow. The Body of Christian Rap coming together to work as individual parts to move the whole. MC, DJ's, Radio Hosts, Producers, Management and fans. We all have a place to be. The mission and movement has begun, LETS FINISH IT.
