3HP Records Utilizes Social Media for Christian Rap


I have been following 3HP Records for over 2 years now. 3 HP Records is a Christian Rap label that started out as a radio show called 3 Hours of Power in Baltimore D.C. As the CEO and Founder Troy Edwards started working with a lot of artists then this label grew into what it is today. 3HP Records serves in various ways such as marketing, promotion, magazines, e blast,fliers, radio shows, award shows, event planning,music production and much more. Not only does 3HP serve in capacity on many levels they are widely spread across the internet through social media.

I first came across 3HP records due to their immense use of Social media outlets and networks. I was online and came across their Ning site: http://3hprecords.ning.com/ which has a very professional look and design. This was around the first time I heard about Ning websites which I saw were very good for getting a message to go viral while building a great online fan base.3HP Records has a growing social media presence with sites like facebook and twitter but, as far as the utilization of Ning and Blogspot they have mastered that. I look forward to seeing more from 3HP records and as always Urban christian Media is on the rise!

Mouthpi3ce new album:The Flood


Mouthpi3ce is a Christian rapper that was born in Anniston, Al but was raised in Atlanta Georgia. Mouthpi3ce is not only a rapper, but a producer, minister, author, Husband and a Father. He brings the gospel through music in a way that people can relate to it. He has a way of captivating the listner with his lyrical flow and smooth melodies. Mouthpi3ce not only writes and produces his own music he sings alot of the hooks on his albums which is not a skill many are able to do well. Mouthpi3ce has a heart to empower marriages and also to reach those who are polluted with the secular music of today.

I came across Mouthpi3ce by first listening to the Wade O Radio show and heard him on this song called "Swagger Daddy" and ever since then I have been hooked to his music. I soon got every mixtape I could find from him such as "Lost and Found","The New Regime" with Dj Sean Blue, and plenty others. After that I purchased his albums like "Reborn Renewed, Reinvented", "No Grey Lines", and today I just bought " The Flood." The Flood is his latest project with some songs from his previous work but, it has some of his best work to date on the album. He has incredible work ethic and has released 3 albums in the last 8 months. His hard work, dedication, and passion should be noted and respected. I honestly think he deserves more credit and I believe that people will wake up and see the truth in his music and  ministry. I am yet to still review the album but  "What You On" (get your free download here:http://www.4shared.com/audio/ThYUNG5b/06_What_You_On.html) is a very deep and inspirational song that describes Mouthpiece's dedication and love for Jesus.
