“Your #1 Source for CHH Culture, Fashion & Lifestyle!”
r o it d E m o r F r e Lett
When it comes to the ones with serious zeal for CHH and the Gospel Rap Community our cover artist Emcee N.I.C.E. quickly comes to mind. In this issue we share more about the Los Angeles native and our heart about him being nominated by Stellar Awards for not one, but two categories as both “artist” and “curator” for God’s House of Hip Hop (GH3) becoming the first CHH & Gospel Rap (Digital) Internet station. Plus the win... in its 34 year history Stellar’s had not acknowledged CHH (page 18). It’s been a long time coming to say the least. If you’re even a tiny bit CHH obsessed, this issue is especially for you. It’s jam-packed with new artists on the RYZE; and a snapshot into the world of Miz Tiffany (page 24), the first female emcee to perform for Stellar Gospel & RadioAwards who also garnered a nom for Rap Hip Hop Gospel CD of the Year. Four years ago, we launched a publication for an independent artist, to celebrate, uplift and affirm their gifts, testimonies and most of all their love for Christ. With a small but mighty crew, we collectively went on to build a brand that values the hip hop community, culture,
creativity, and lifestyle. I say all this to say we are constantly reminded of the responsibility we have to continue to build this legacy. There are many magazines, but none that cater specifically to the independent CHH & Gospel Rap Artistry with the passion our team approaches the work we do, and for the audience we serve. RYZE Magazine perfectly encapsulates both our love for Christ and Hip Hop. As we move into this next exciting phase, rest assured we will be putting your needs and wants first. Now more than ever we would like you to know how much we appreciate you and your continued support. We also hope you’ll encourage others to support us with subscriptions, clicks, follows, likes, and attend our live events, stay tuned for more information. Enjoy the issue! RYZE with me!
