The hip-hop scene has seen some decent artists emerge in recent times.
I refer specifically to hip-hop artists who are Christian and are not ashamed to publicly declare their faith.
Lecrae is one that comes to mind, among many other legends we grew up listening to.
One of the most recent stars who seems to be making waves, especially in the UK, is a young man called Guvna B.
Guvna – whose birth name is Isaac – is a Londoner of Ghanaian descent who spits bars for Jesus.
To date, he has built a decent brand with the trademark “Allo mate” in almost every song, video, or social media post. In fact, he even has a clothing line called “Allo mate”.
At 26, Guvna B has already released a substantial range of mixtapes and albums, including:
The Narrow Road (released 31 May 2008)
Scrapbook (released 1 January 2011 – This is when I feel in love with his music)
Next Ting 140 (released 18 August 2011)
Odd 1 Out (released 26 May 2013)
Scrapbook II (released 13th April 2014)
Secret World (released 20th November 2015)
His latest album, Secret World, is a great piece if work.
Guvna, originally from the East side of London, generally collaborates with a wide range of artists. Despite this, he tends to remain true to his “style”.
One of my favourite tracks on Secret World is Nothing But the Blood. Here he collaborates with Deitrick Haddon. They take the old school track you probably sang in Sunday School, and do it justice.
This is one my favourite hip-hop artists.
Add him to your playlist library and I promise you won’t regret it. It’s the kind of hip-hop that speaks about Jesus, without being corny. You can bump this as loud and proud as you want. Why not check out his music and follow him on the various platforms.
