HillaryJane Is Ready To Infiltrate Music

San Diego, CA—Infiltrate Music is excited to announce the addition of 20 year old Houston Texas native, HillaryJane to their growing roster. This deal continues to solidify their position in the marketplace as well as round out their sonic offering. Join HillaryJane and the Infiltrate Music crew at SXSW as they celebrate by premiering new music from the upcoming project.

Since the beginning, Hip Hop has been dominated by males. Whether that is because of the unspoken expectation of bravado, or the actual lack of females is up for debate. What is clear though, is there are not enough ladies. You can find talented artists who are women, but it will be difficult to find one who specifically aims to empower other women to strive for authentic womanhood—HillaryJane aspires to do just that.

“I first worked with HillaryJane on the Stop The Traffic album released by Rapzilla.com which helped benefit NYCUP (a division of InterVarsity in New York City) that fights human trafficking. HillaryJane worked with Infiltrate recording artist Skrip to create, "Not For Sale" which perfectly captures the point of the project,” says Infiltrate Music co-founder Chad Horton.

Andy Mineo Makes Presence Felt on Billboard

The final results are in and Andy Mineo is truly making noise. The NYC native is a force once again in sales categories, scoring the #2 Rap album and #13 overall album this week on the Billboard 200 charts with his new EP "Neverland".

We briefly caught up with the Reach Records emcee for a few minutes to get his thoughts on the exciting chart placement. When asked if this strong sales number was expected due to his recent momentum, Mineo was transparent. "If I'm being honest, I really didn't know what to expect" he revealed. "I do know that our fans always come out and support us, but naturally I was also uncertain because we didn't have the marketing campaign and push that would typically come with an album. But as always, I was very hopeful that our fans would support it."

Considering the dearth of positive voices on the mainstream charts (especially in the genre of hip hop), "Neverland"'s presence is a refreshing shift from the norm in both content and sound. With a flurry of record sales success, it's easy to believe that Mineo's aim is all about the numbers, a notion he quickly corrects. "The record sales just means more opportunities for people to hear the music and ultimately for lives to be transformed. Big numbers of CD's sold is never the ultimate goal, but it just allows for the message to get into more hands."

On the flip side though, he doesn't shy away from saying he strongly believes it's important for Christian music to continue to place high on the charts. "When you chart, that tells a story to the world that more people are exposed to and get to hear. That's an important thing for Christians to consider." Though the true impact of the movement will never be truly represented by sales, Gospel-centered art in the ears of a mass audience is always positive fruit of hard labor.

In the end, it's clear that this artist just wants new listeners to appreciate his artistry. "For people who are listening for the first time I say, 'enjoy the art!' I think its good music that forces you to think about life and my worldview." May Andy Mineo and many like him continue to make their presence felt on the Billboard charts.

Christon Gray's Upcoming Album Entitled 'School of Roses'

From the looks of things, it appears that Christian worldview and the culture are headed for another collision. Collision records double-threat Christon Gray is turning heads with an announcement of his upcoming album entitled 'School of Roses'.

The Ohio crooner, who is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the best voices and writers in Christian music, has garnered critical acclaim for his smooth singing and vicious wordplay. His artistic offerings have also spawned a massive fan following, best displayed by his Rapzilla "Song of the Year" award for the WLAK single "Long Way Down."

With his versatility and consistency, there is no doubt that "School of Roses" will be one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2014. As a special treat, Christon will preview the album on March 1st at "The Vault" in Orange, California sponsored by Soundvision Entertainment.

Andy Mineo Wants A Word With Kanye West

Last year, we reported that, in a recent TV interview, Hip Hop music icon Kanye West professed to be a Christian. Despite the frequency of Christo-centric references in his music (namely his latest album "Yeezus"), more and more onlookers are noticing his desire to use the name of God in his controversial artistry. Now, rising Christian Hip Hop creator Andy Mineo has chosen to chime in. The Reach Records artist commented on the polarizing figure today in an exclusive interview with MTV. When MTV's Rob Markman asked who he would desire to collaborate with, Mineo mentioned Mr. West. I'd love to get in a room with Kanye [West] at some point, have a conversation, and see if something cooks up." Andy went on to elaborate his view of Kanye's legendary position in Hip Hop, his "unique place" in regards to faith and the number of other artists who have Christian themes in their music. Considering the continuous debate over the mainstream involvement of Christian artists, these comments will likely stir up much discussion in the Christian Hip Hop scene and overshadow the encouraging appearance of Reach Records on MTV. Maybe it is part of a carefully-crafted strategic agenda to gain a mainstream platform for the Gospel. Maybe it was simply a genuine admission from an artist appreciative of the artform itself. And maybe it is a sign that the unashamed movement has expanded further than it intended. Regardless of our opinion, it's clear that when it comes to these collaborations, silence is no longer an option.
