The Gospel music world and Christian Hip Hop (also known as CHH) have had a long history of disagreements and misunderstandings. But, there seems to be something new in the air hinting to change.
This year alone, we have seen CHH and Christian Soul making a larger appearance than ever on the Stellar Gospel Music Awards stage featuring new and seasoned Christian Soul and Hip Hop artists like Aaron Cole, Erica Mason, Jordan Armstrong and more. Over the last 10 years, other award shows such as The Dove Awards, The KLove Music Awards and more have also been giving CHH and other Christian genres more shine. While the CHH industry has its own Award show, namely the Kingdom Choice Awards (based in NYC) which has been going strong for over 10 years, the Gospel community is starting to pay attention like never before!
As the winds of change continue to blow in both the Gospel and CHH industries, the World’s Collide Tour seems to be coming at a perfect time! What happens when Gospel and CHH come together in unity with the same mind of worship and impact? Fresh Heir Entertainment, the founders of The World’s Collide Tour are about to find out!
Featuring newly seasoned Gospel greats such as The Wall’s Group are coming together with one CHH’s best KB (previously of Reach Records, now signed with Sony Records) to show what happens when the two worlds collide! In addition to these seasoned artists, the stage will also feature newer artists in both genres such as Zeke Lock and The New Xperience(newly signed to Tyscott Records), Midwest CHH artist Relentless and more!
While this type of tour hasn’t happed often, we believe it will soon be seen much more in the coming future and Fresh Heir Entertainment is already in front of it all making history as they continue to bring tours to Chicago and beyond!

ArtSoul Radio is a 24/7, online Christian Radio Station and Entertainment news site promoting new and diverse sounds in Christian music! We highlight both indie and mainstream artists in Contemporary Gospel, Pop, Soul, Hip-Hop, Alternative, and Spoken Word Poetry.
If you’re looking for new music to add to your playlist, this is a single you can’t forget! Grammy award winning artist Jekalyn Carr and Christian R&B newcomer have come together for their newest collab “Hands On Me”! In just four days, their new video for the single hit 100K and the numbers continue to climb!
Surprisingly to some, Christian R&B is not a new genre. But, it has recently become more widespread outside of the Christian R&B community in the last few years due to much of the music going viral on TikTok. There have been a host of artists who have been pushing out creative music with this sound as far back as 2012 and before. In recent years, we have seen new artists jumping into the genre style with a fresh take merging Gospel and Christian R&B together!
Following in the steps of recent collaborations from artists like Erica Campbell and Jordan Armstrong and more, Jekalyn Carr and Mike Teezy are continuing the trend of Gospel + Christian R&B artists coming together for a new era of Gospel music!

Prodigal Songs is a new collective based in Portland, Oregon. The team consists of a diverse group of rappers and singers who have come together under the same mission: “To help guide the way back to God”…
This first release from this Pacific Northwest collective is called “Jordan”. Featuring vocals from Portland-born singer/song writer @k.pax.music & Hip Hop artist Meech Rhodes. This song tells a story of redemption over melodic hip hop beats produced by the group’s Founder Ausdin Lemmons.
Check out the message below from this team: “The rhymes and melodies woven into our music serve as narratives, reminding us that we all have experienced moments of wandering. Yet, the journey to rediscovering God is always open.”
It is clear that the Prodigal Songs Collective has a clear message regarding the mission for their music that they want to convey to anyone who feels lost. With their first single already being received so well by fans, we know that this is only the beginning for them! We’re excited to hear what comes next from this collective!

Serving as the Part 2 to his previous record released in 2020, KB partnered up with producers WEARETHEGOOD, Scootie Wop and Cardec Drums to deliver a full length project that expresses the infiniteness of God.
