AMAR sears the Christian Hip Hop space with his newest release THUNDERCLAP, featuring Marty of Social Club Misfits.

adamariz 'Need 2 Hold On 2 The Truth'

adamariz features several prominent guest artists on NEED 2 HOLD ON 2 THE TRUTH

“Because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son, in truth and love.” [2 John 1: 2-3]

Freedom is found rooted in truth. Christ has freely offered freedom from our bondage and the ability to stand firm in His promise. Therefore, it is the Word, he who has been from the beginning, that embodies the ultimate truth. Hearing without seeing, and yet still believing, we need to hold on to the truth, no matter the cost.

For adamariz, using music to inspire others goes beyond talents and is instead a calling placed on her life. With her newest project, NEED 2 HOLD ON 2 THE TRUTH, adamariz brings the message of the gospel while collaborating with some of the biggest names in the Christian rap scene. The five-track EP features Marty (Social Club Misfits), 1K Phew, Parris Chariz, 350, and Battz and is a melodic story of transparency and growth.

NEED 2 HOLD ON 2 THE TRUTH is just about that, the need to hold on,” states adamariz. The project is a personal realization that God provides all that is needed. It is the truth that is found in the Word. “I must hold on to the truth through whatever the circumstance may be.”

Produced by v3rsatil3 with engineering by Jericko, NEED 2 HOLD ON 2 THE TRUTH is available now across digital streaming platforms.

Malcolm’s landmark album features international stars Snoop Dogg and Shaggy. Adding additional oomph are Malcolm’s CHH homies Derek Minor, KB, Ty Brasel, Canon, and Social Club Misfits.

“This being my third studio album, [I] focused on the growth and fruit that came from a foundation rooted in truth,” says Malcolm. “I stood firm throughout my life and now I’m seeing the fruit of my labor. LEGACY! The gift that continues to bear fruit. Thank you and many blessings to my fans worldwide.”

Tree‘s release arrives a week after premiering smash single.

Included on the album is the hit “Summertime” which features hip hop legend Snoop Dogg and Malcolm’s IVAV labelmate Jay-Way. The visual for the record premiered with Vibe Magazine. Grammy Award-winner Shaggy is also featured on “Fuego (Remix)” which has racked up over 6 million combined streams.

Steven Malcolm unleashed the Summertime music video featuring Snoop Dogg and Jay-Way.

The visual premiered through Vibe Magazine and is the latest from Malcolm’s upcoming album.

It is the newest star-studded collaboration for Malcolm who has previously worked with Shaggy, KB, Social Club Misfits, R3hab, and more. Summertime, featuring Snoop Dogg and Jay-Way, is available now across all DSPs. The record boasts rhymes tighter than Chuck Taylor’s shoelaces. Malcolm refines his flow to compliment the elegance of Snoop’s laid-back style and Jay-Way’s smooth vocals.

“With this record, I wanted to bring an endless tune that will give people that summertime feeling over and over,” says Malcolm.

Malcolm’s IVAV label mate Jay-Way and Snoop effortlessly add their suave swagger to enhance the sweetly harmonious bop.

The record is co-produced by Mikey and Scootie of Social House (Ariana Grande, MGK).

Legendary music and entertainment magazine, Vibe, premiered the music video, stating:

Summertime has the makings of a bonafide anthem for the warmer months of the year and is a continuation of Malcolm’s evolution as a lyricist and songwriter.”

It is not the first foray into Christian music for Snoop Dogg.

The hip hop icon declares “Summertime is back,” in his opening verse. Snoop is a self-professed “born-again Christian” who released his first gospel album in 2018 (Bible of Love). The album peaked at number one on the US Gospel Albums chart for seven weeks. That same year, Steven Malcolm found his own success on the gospel chart with “Not To Us/Good Love”. The record was a radio hit that doubled as the first release from Malcolm’s sophomore album, ‘The Second City’.

This is a party that everyone is invited to. 

Summertime was added to Spotify’s New Music Friday Christian playlist and Apple Christian’s Best New Songs chart. Watch below as rap royalty rides off into the sunset with two rising stars in an IVAV meets Death Row trifecta.
