Cleveland repping rapper CW Allen is back with new music!  His self-titled project, “CW Allen,” was released on Friday, October 6th.  In the midst of traveling as a full-time artist, CW put together this latest body of work with the hope that it would give listeners a better view of who he was.  Taking a new approach at giving his fans the opportunity to get to know him better prior to the album release, he started a new Vlog Channel on YouTube where he takes his fans with him behind the scenes on his tour stops to Poland and more.  He also released commentary series where he explains the heart and process behind each song on his coming album.  By the time the new project was released, his fans were ready for it!

TOUR LIFE

The Album:

Right off the bat with the first track, “Dream Baby,” CW takes us through his journey as an artist.  He speaks about how he started rapping at the lunchroom table in high school, up to more recent years where explains selling only 9 copies of one of his previous albums.  The brutal honesty of the hardships an independent artist has is refreshing and also inspiring as CW continues to dream.

There are many high points on this album including “The Team,” “Soft Flex,” “Vent,” and the previously released “Heroes Never Die.”  CW is joined by Chicago rapper Brother 3 on the track “Villain” and it’s always a pleasure to hear a new verse from him.

The “CW Allen” album and his Vlog Channel which highlights the full album creation process is definitely worth a listen!  These combined efforts offer those familiar with CW more of what they love about him and for those that aren’t familiar it’s the perfect introduction to him and his music.

As mentioned in his album, CW has been pushing through the good and the challenges of being an independent artist for a while… But, it’s clear from his words and passion that he doesn’t have any plans of slowing down!  It has all made him stronger and wiser.  Now, through his partnership with ATC, he has recently transitioned to doing music full time where he travels sharing the wisdom he has learned through his life journey so far with others.

Check out the album today and watch the video below to learn how you can contribute towards his new fulltime ministry efforts:

WHATUPRG Welcomes You To A New Hollywood with his new KIDS single!

Millennials and Gen Zs are terms used to describe the people of a certain time. The new generation, coming of age today, isn’t waiting for a tagline. They are emerging into a digital age, during a pandemic, and with World War III looming, redefining themselves.


Today’s generation has grown up with Uber/Lift, Airbnb, YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok, Snapchat and more. Music, movies, and entertainment are available to them anytime and anywhere. They have always had food delivery, digital map directions, videos and music, and a cloud full of information always at their fingertips. They were raised talking into devices, accessing apps, posting pictures, videos, and music. Everything in this time is new! Even Hollywood is changing and the new Hollywood is about diversification!


Bringing something new and diverse to music is Reach Records artist WHATUPRG, whose name is synonymous with innovation and authenticity. His trademark combination of Latin rhythms, trap hip-hop, flawless lyricism, and captivating storytelling has enshrined him as an elite amongst his peers. When hip-hop artists express their faith, they’re often confined to the CHH genre. RG’s art is prolific, progressive, and challenges the culture in a way too eclectic way for any subgenre’s limitations. “KIDS,” the first from his forthcoming album, New Hollywood, is about setting new standards. He punches over 808 drums and haunting synths while chanting the album’s theme, “We don’t pretend more” and “kids don’t die we go up high.” In this case, high means higher to God, an exalted level. 


Releasing music at one of the wildest, unpredictable times in history, RG has been processing his coming of age while battling depression. Despite personal struggles, he is determined to create beautiful music that shifts the culture. His previous EP’s Pleasant Hill and the self-titled Raul have proven his capability to channel his personal experiences and journey through faith to offer something substantial to the zeitgeist.

RG says of his forthcoming album,
“If people want to call it CHH, then this album is the gospel, according to WHATUPRG. New Hollywood is a place where you don’t have to box yourself in. You can just be yourself. Being yourself is enough.”


Through his lyrics, listeners will find a creative powerhouse who is putting himself in the context of a new generation questioning the role Christianity must play in finding personal and world peace. To all who are weary and heavy burdened, welcome to New Hollywood!
