Personally I couldn’t believe Keeso was in the front on his feet after being shot at work just 4 weeks ago!  Read that story here.

YC want you to know that this song is an answer to pain and frustration often found at the epicenter of the subject. True hope can be found even at the eye of any storm, the gospel provides sufficient answers that unifies. They believe that you will find true harmony in community if we speak up for peace instead of being silent with indifference.

In the video below YC perform an acoustic version of an original song called “Speak Loud”.  I’m certain that you would love to hear a studio sometime in the future...and neither can I.

 
 

Yahweh Collective have their EP released planned for March. To get in on the news, events and exclusive content feel free to subscribe to their mailing list below. For those who comment, share like and more, thank you in advance.

We are now at Track #5 and we are almost through our "Making Of..” series giving fans a unique insight to Messa Montana’s song “Animal” of the “Be Kind, Rewind EP Vol. 1”. A unique insight to the darkness, the temptations, and the reason for the hope for Christ..and they know you by your fruit, by your dependance in Him. Very encouraging in a genre which steers very close the glorification of prideful thoughts, even in Christian Hip Hop.

Salute to all the independents out there! We are an independent label sharing in that Holy Spirited balance of faith and hustle. Life as an independent artist, producer, engineer entreprenuer, Mom-preneur, writer, musician, student, teacher or missionary can be a lonely venture, we get you all! It can be like jumping out of a plane into the middle of the desert heading to an oasis somewhere, meandering the dunes, enduring the elements and acknowledging that the biggest enemy is ourself. Doubting the gift, the fear of getting lost, the lack of faith in the Creator, we get you. Our hope is that with everything you watch, hear and read is a chronicle of the test of our faith, the soundtrack to yours. We hope it edifies. Messa Montana’s EP just got reviewed by Carlos Newton of Reformed Bars. Watch it here.
