Humble Beast drastically reduces artist roster
Humble Beast Recordings, which announced the addition of a coffee arm early this year, announced the subtraction of several artists from its label on Tuesday.
According to an open letter on its official website, Humble Beast's roster is now formed by Propaganda, Beautiful Eulogy, Jackie Hill Perry and JGivens. This means that Eshon Burgundy, Foreknown and Alert312 — along with Lee Green, whose departure was announced last month — are free agents. Producers Daniel Steele and DJ Efechto were also previously on the record label.
Past. Present. & Future.
Humble Beast started 6 years ago with one goal in mind: free and excellent Gospel resources in the context we know best: hip hop. We built with our friends. We invited them to join us. We assembled a team that shared our heart and philosophy of ministry. By God's grace we continued to grow, yet our unorthodox approach has brought forth many unique challenges. One of the implications of our free model is that we are often short on time and resources. Our daily operations are handled by a handful of men who sacrificially give their talents and energy because they believe in the vision. We have always considered Humble Beast to be a ministry more than a record label and our priorities have been established by that distinction.
In light of our vision, the cost of our free model and the increasing responsibilities associated with our growth - we have determined that the wisest way for us to move forward is to narrow down the size of our roster. There are many factors contributing to this decision, most importantly, it has become a matter of stewardship. We created the video “Past. Present. & Future.” to offer a fuller picture of who we are and what we do. This brief write up is a short summary of the information covered in that video, which we encourage everyone to watch.
It has been a privilege to work with so many gifted artists and to play a small role in helping expose their art and message to people within our network. Please continue to follow our friends as we expect nothing but the best from them. Our roster moving forward will consist of Propaganda, Beautiful Eulogy, Jackie Hill Perry and JGivens. We know for some of you, this might leave some questions unanswered. Our desire was to make this announcement in the most clear, yet healthiest way we could out of love for our Lord, for our artists and for everyone who has supported us this far. Please continue to follow Humble Beast as we continue pursuing our mission of freely giving.
Your friends and brothers,
Humble Beast

Gospel Reggae King, Buchi Releases Single "It's Still Legal"
Featuring: Iyke Onka, Faarlon Lyte and Sam Jamz.
Buchi, the music minister and missionary, just released a brand new single titled ‘IT’S STILL LEGAL’ to celebrate his birthday today the 24th of June, 2015. Buchi’s birthday is taking a low-key this year because of the importance of the message in the song, and so Buchi has chosen to release it NOW, instead of his traditional 3 years intervals between albums or new releases.
All of Buchi’s albums have been released at intervals of three years: 1999 (These days), 2002 (So beautiful), 2005 (What a Life), 2008 (Sound of Life), 2011 (Judah), 2014 (I See)… so why can’tSONG 55 wait till 2017?
This song is not likely to make you dance, It’s not intended to. This is a song to the church, for everyone who has things to do for God, the time is now! It’s the clarion call of watchmen: Like the “Children of Issachar, Men who had understanding of the times Who knew what Israel ought to do” (1 chronicles 12:32). So RISE UP WHILE IT’S STILL LEGAL to talk about Jesus publicly, before the doors are shut completely.
Song 55 (It’s Still Legal) has four different versions, features THREE (3) artistes – Iyke Onka, Farlon Lyte (South Africa), and Sam Jamz; THREE (3) amazing music producers (J-Treash, Ceewai & Iyke Onka); and that very important message. Its not about what version you like best or prefer, its about the message.
SONG 55:
-It’s Still Legal By Buchi
-It’s Still Legal Ft Farlon Lyte Produced by JTreash
-It’s Still Legal Ft Samjamz Produced by JTreash
-It’s Still Legal Ft Iyke Onka Produced by Iyke Onka
Buchi says “Before I knew that I would ever sing, I always knew that i had a role to play and be involved in a song that would herald the coming of Christ. This is it. I will be eternally grateful if you can as my birthday gift, help, support, share, tweet, post and distribute through your various networks this song, so that this God given message can reach everyone. I Thank You”.

Rapper Lee Green separates from Humble Beast
Lee Green's highly-anticipated Humble Beast debut album will not happen.
Over the past few years, Green has been featured on numerous releases by the record label, including but not limited to Propaganda's Crimson Chord, Beautiful Eulogy's Satellite Kite and Eshon Burgundy's The Fear of God. Last night, the hip-hop artist announced on social media that he is no longer on Humble Beast. He concluded a Facebook post by clarifying that he isn't done with music.
Humble Beast also released a statement about Green's departure today.
"Our desire at Humble Beast is to serve," the statement read. "We want to serve the artists for the sake of their ministry. We want to serve our business for the sake of our families. We want to serve the Church for the sake of its joy in Christ.
"Unfortunately, we are not yet perfect people. Our priorities need constant realignment as we continually turn our eyes back to Jesus. As we live our lives in the constant tension of the 'already' and the 'not yet,' we confidently strive to glorify God in what we do, what we say, what we think, and in how we treat our neighbor. We hope to continually grow in wisdom and humility as we discern what is best for our business, our ministry, and the people that we serve.
"It's with this understanding that we wish our brother Lee Green nothing but the best as we mutually part ways. Humble Beast does not sign contracts with our artists. We have covenant agreements in which the following is understood: we will strive to work with the artist to serve their musical and creative endeavors insofar as they feel they are being adequately served. At any point, the artist may back away from the label if they decide to pursue other creative interests or if they feel as if we are not serving them as best we can.
"After conversation and deliberation, both parties have decided that it is best for Lee to pursue other venues that best suit his talents, gifts, goals, and desires. We have a deep love and respect for our brother and are excited to see what he does next. Continue to follow Lee and his pursuits, as we expect nothing but the best from him. Godspeed."

Teen rapper KayLa Starks’s sacrifice for music pays off
Eighteen-year-old rapper KayLa Starks earned quite a few fans when she dropped her project To Be Honest this spring.
“In this era where there is a lack of female MCs, KayLa stands out like a sore thumb,” God Over Money artist Datin said. “She is not only a dope emcee that can actually spit, but her delivery is A-plus. Her flow is near flawless. Then to add on to that, she can also sing and has really good song structure. KayLa will do really well in [Christian hip hop] if she continues to keep her motives in check and puts the Lord first.”
A sacrifice that Starks, who started rapping at age nine, made a couple years ago has helped her reach this stage of her career. As a junior in high school, she struggled to balance music and school work.
“I would sometimes get my priorities mixed up,” the Evans, Georgia-based artist said. “You have this mindset of, ‘Music is life.’”
Starks’s solution: homeschool herself. The decision wasn’t easy, as she had to make sacrifices. Starks started point guard for her high school basketball team and had to give that up.
Though difficult, the choice paid off. When Starks became homeschooled, it allowed her to more focus on her studies. It also freed up her schedule, which gave her the flexibility to tour and pursue music.
One of the doors that opened up for Starks was to perform on The Extreme Tour. While touring for six weeks, she didn’t have much free time. Her schooling lasted five days a week like any other high school. The only difference was that her work needed to be completed online, and it was her responsibility to keep up with it.
Starks learned to prioritize. She would get up early in the morning and work on her school assignments, even after shows that ended at 2 a.m. the previous night.
“It was just a lot of sacrificing and maturing in knowing that you’re doing this for a reason,” she said. “Your hard work is going to pay off.”
And it did. Since her junior year, she has hopped on multiple tours, including The Breakout Tour, which featured Young Noah.
“She opened up for a tour I did last year, and honestly, she’s the best female [Christian hip-hop] artist out,” Young Noah said. “And she was like 16 at the time. Her live show is insane. She’s like Nicki Minaj on steroids.”
“I’m grateful for the experience,” Starks said. “I’ve learned as a Christian, I’ve learned as a person, as a daughter, as a sister. I’ve probably grown as a person by this experience from being away from those temptations and things. You know, high school is a crazy, crazy world.”
Starks released her mixtape To Be Honest on May 30, two days after graduating high school. The entire mixtape took three months to complete. On the project between songs, listeners will hear a few artists shout out Starks: Young Noah, Datin, Black Knight and others have reached out to show support.
“Those are my mentors," she said. "Those are people who not only inspire me but teach me."

We are most grateful to God for the gift of life, we also thank Him for the gift and blessing that music is to us here on earth.

The musical journey continued with the release of another album in 2012 titled ALL THE PRAISE which banged in several awards both in Nigeria and Abroad with songs and music videos like THE PRESENCE, ALL THE PRAISE AND ALPHA OMEGA…
It is important to note here that this journey was not without many challenges but in them all, we were always victorious. With several singles being released last year 2014 in preparation for the third album, Joe Praize released a world class music video of his LOVE SONG to Jesus. With the importance of the new album in mind, A NEW ULTRA MODERN AUDIO RECORDING STUDIO was opened in January 2015 with the state of the art sound equipment.
It is with GREAT JOY in our hearts that we announce to the BODY OF CHRIST AND INDEED THE WORLD AT LARGE that the BRAND NEW ALBUM FROM JOEPRAIZE TITLED MOST HIGH WAS ON THE 20TH OF JUNE 2015 released on ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS WORLDWIDE as this is presently on ITUNES; 20th of June being the birthday of our one and only JOEPRAIZE.
Also as an instruction from God, a very unique program, first of its kind titled iTestify100 WITH JOEPRAIZE was put together and it was an evening of worship and testimonies. This program held at the Best Western Hotel Allen, Ikeja Lagos and was graced by artistes like Sinach, Buchi, Frank Edwards, Ada, PU, Sophiya, Mercy Chinwo, and a host of other dignitaries.
A special lecture was delivered bY Buchi on the Music: The Past, The Present and The Future .
The album was finally unveiled by pastor Dimeji Matesun of Christ Embassy Church, while the Director of Loveworld Music and Arts Ministry, Evang. Kathy Woghiren prayed specially for the celebrant while Deacon Sylvester Ebhodaghe, the celebrant’s brother gave the closing remarks, it was indeed an evening to remember for a very long time.
We are grateful to God and also THANKFUL to YOU our fans around the globe for seeing something beyond the ordinary in our music and showing your massive support all through these years. As we move from COAST2COAST, we see YOU moving with us and changing lives for JESUS {THE BOSS} …
We believe and trust the lord that this album will be a blessing not just to you but to the body of CHRIST and generations unborn.
