    The today show and good morning america tend to have segments relating to Christianity on various occasions. I feel some of the hosts or producers want to put the spotlight on the positivity that’s out there and not just on all the negative drama that is common everywhere.
    Besides lecrae and his reach records, bizzle and the god over money crew are amazing.

    Once in a blue, CHH gets a small spot light on the secular platforms/networks. Which is good to introduce the genre to new audiences. But the world much prefers the corrupt hip hop these record companies make sure stays on heavy rotation. Ever since CHH came into my life in early 2k, my life changed for the good and I ain't turning back. For those interested, check out Reach Records roster and artists like Da Truth, Flame, NF, Shai Linne, Hazakim, Bizzle, Dee1, etc...
