God’s House of Hip Hop Earns 11 Spin Awards Nominations and a Stellar Award Nomination

Aulsondro “Novelist” Hamilton aka Emcee N.I.C.E. and Chantal “Chanie G” Grayson, co-owners of the Stellar Awards winning God’s House of Hip Hop radio (GH3 Radio) station, have partnered with syndicated gospel radio personalities Those Baxters to launch Rhythm & Praise Radio powered by DASH on July 15 at 10 a.m. PDT.

R&P Radio will kick off with a music-only format, playing the genre’s hitmakers, artists including Kierra Sheard, Kirk Franklin, Erica Campbell, Jonathan McReynolds, Koryn Hawthorne, Jor’Dan Armstrong, and Uncle Reece. On August 10, LA’s #1 Home for Rhythm & Praise Gospel Soul Music will begin rolling out 7 shows hosted by gospel on-air personalities. 

“We joined forces with Those Baxters and are curating a radio station that’s different from contemporary gospel,” Emcee N.I.C.E. says. “This is out of the box R&B gospel.” Dubbed R&P, Gospel’s R&B, the station will break the mold of traditional and contemporary gospel. “You’re so used to all of the traditional stations being into quartets and choirs and the traditional gospel,” Emcee N.I.C.E. says. “Here, you’ll be able to hear a Jor’Dan Armstrong do a ‘90s R&B inspired song for God. That’s essentially what’s going on in a lot of these records coming out.” 

Also known as Christian R&B, Rhythm & Praise combines Christian-themed lyrics with common music characteristics of rhythm and blues and has achieved more than 10 million records sold, 100 million streams, 20 GRAMMYS, 25 Dove Awards and 50 Stellar Awards.

Grayson says R&P Radio will be an excellent compliment to their successful Christian hip hop station GH3 Radio. “We continue to elevate the CHH market and now we’re going to expand the R&P space,”
