🔥 FEATURED ALBUMS & SINGLES
🎧 🔥 TC aka The Collector – Should’ve Got What We Deserved
Genre: Christian Rap
Theme: Mercy over wrath
Should’ve Got What We Deserved is about how we look at blessings, answered prayers, or prophecy fulfilled. It is a sober reflection on the goodness of God—specifically His grace and mercy in moments where obedience was absent and distance from Jesus was real.
The album confronts an uncomfortable but necessary truth: if God dealt with us strictly according to justice, wrath is what we earned. Instead, He showed mercy.
TC delivers a project rooted in honesty, confession, and gratitude—reminding listeners that salvation and restoration are gifts, not rewards.

🎙️ Podcast Spotlight
🎧 Behind the Mic Podcast – Dropped Out of School With a Colostomy Bag | Here’s What Happened
Guest: Holy Flow of DJ
Theme: Faith through suffering • Identity • Purpose through pain
In this raw and deeply moving moment from Behind the Mic, Holy Flow of DJ shares a testimony shaped by trauma, illness, and God’s redemptive grace.
Diagnosed with colon cancer as a teenager, Holy Flow opens up about surgery that left him living with a stoma, undergoing chemotherapy, and watching his life plans unravel. A high school dropout who lost his passion for basketball, he reflects on how pain once defined his identity—until God began reshaping his purpose.
Rather than breaking him, the suffering became preparation—not just for his own healing, but for ministry to others walking through similar battles.
This testimony speaks directly to anyone facing illness, loss, or identity struggles and wondering if God can still use their story.
📖 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…” — Revelation 12:11

🎧 🔨 SNT. VINCENT – SOCIAL YEAR
Genre: Christian Rap

SNT. VINCENT reflects on faith formed in loss, obedience in uncertainty, and perseverance when comfort disappears. The record captures the tension of trusting God without clarity—making it a relatable entry for listeners walking through transition, reset, or spiritual refinement.
