Texas Gospel Anouncers Guild Anniversary Highlights by Catherine Dorsey of TGAG
Excerpt"This was the first year that TGAG added Gospel Rap to our format, but I tell you it was simply wonderful and a great move for so many reasons. Neither was sure what to expect, but we united as if we had been doing so all along and praised God and He did bless. On Saturday night during the Gospel Rap Showcase, we presented Trailblazer Awards to The Warriors, DJ Dlite, and BLUE. Each night we featured some of the rap artists on the Gospel stage and ended the nightly showcase on Saturday night with BB Jay, BLUE, J Xavier, Tre-9, and other Gospel Rappers, the Prasie Dance were dancing and the saints were all on their feet. Just Awesome. " To read more click on the soucre link below.

Recap: D@South.com Benefit
Excerpt, "Man how I wish all the folks that bemoan the lack of unity within holy hip hop (HHH) could've been at this event. They would have been blown away. How? Let me count the ways:
a) The true sense of community, familiarity, and joy between hip hop artists
b) The number of selfless artists involved
c) The "bigger-than-me" goal of the night
d) The quality of performances
e) The length of the show (3 hours)
f) The price of the show (Free admission)

OkayPlayer.com Review
Excerpt "Much Luvv Fam proves to be a very strong and diverse coalition with members that, aside from content, mirror everything from nerdcore backpack to reggae to early 90’s boom-bap. Punchlines?

Rapzilla Review
Excerpt "I‚ve had the pleasure of kicking a few times with Tre9 (again, the label Founder and CEO) and was able to find out what this project was all about. He even hit me off with an autographed copy when I was down in Houston earlier this year for the Texas Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards (of which Tre9 is also the Founder of!!!). ‚The Next... Now! is a double-cd project. One side being ‚ Next‚ and the other being ‚ Now.‚" To read more click on the soucre link below.

Urban Rebirth Review
Excerpt "The sound is very different from the old skool beats, low-mid drums of the 90s era and in some sense is like Missy Elliot in frequencies. Put "The Next...Now!" against some of Kanye West's music and you'll know what i mean. Of course the danger with this is that the sound can almost move to pop but Tony Stone balances this really well and the sound is definetly Urban. Also for those tired of the repititous production so often found in Christian Hip Hop music ie. a killer beat put on replay for the length of the track, this is an album you gotta put your ear too."

TrailBlazin Ministries Review
Excerpt "This album put me in a good mood and reminded me that God speaks to us in so many different ways. The Much Luvv family all showed up on this project. Tre9, Icece, Colcutz, CY, Mark J, Von Won Enock, and S.O.M with special guests that include: J Johnson (formally J Silas), R-Swift, Lil Keke, Big Pokey, BB Jay, Ras, and more. So many artists with so many creative sounds, styles, and backgrounds give ‘Now…& Then!’ a stand alone status. This Houston based group uses this album to make worshipping the Lord, our God with music not only attractive but addictive to believers and non-believers alike.

Dj D-Lite presents ICECE - Frozen Files 2 (Chopped & Screwed by Dj Mex)
If you thought you heard the best the south had to offer by listening to your radio, you aint heard nuthin yet! Icece takes you into the cold reality of the streets that is so often glamorized today, yet he finishes the story that most leave untold. His southern drawl and edgy lyrics deliver the substance that isnt often found in street music. Yet Icece is also diverse in his ability to spit the popular southern themes about platinum grills, chrome wheels, and Cadillac DeVilles to name a few. Icece would surely leave you frozen if his beats werent so hot, thats what makes this album just the right temperature for all who listen!
