NGEN Radio Launches New Show With Tedashii

HOUSTON – NGEN radio is excited to announce a new radio show, SERIUM, hosted by Christian hip-hop artist, Tedashii, airing Saturday nights from 8-9 PM central exclusively on NGEN radio beginning Saturday, November 23.  The one-hour show will challenge the status quo, push listeners deeper in their faith, and find God’s love in the hip-hop movement.
“I am excited about my new show only on NGEN radio.  Serium is here to push the message of a movement and to bring you the hottest hip-hop and realist remixes around,” says Tedashii, Reach Records recording artist and host of Serium.
With his ability to engage his listeners within the first few seconds of his songs, Tedashii is known across the country for his hit music with a positive message.  He is a Reach Records recording artist and part of the 116 movement.  Serium joins NGEN radio’s line up of exclusive content including PHENOMENON hosted by Soul Glow Activatur, the former lead singer of Family Force 5.
“We are thrilled to launch Serium with Tedashii, getting our listeners closer to one of this generation’s most talented artists,” says Carlos Aguiar, Program Director of NGEN radio.  “Tedashii’s style is a perfect fit for NGEN and our listeners as he is unashamed of his faith and knows just how to reach a generation struggling with new issues each day.”
NGEN radio and Tedashii will launch the show at the Unashamed V Tour in Dallas, a conference focused on being unashamed in your faith.  The first Serium show will include exclusive interviews with Tedashii and other artists at the conference, and of course, a mix of hip-hop music.

Beautiful Eulogy - Release Me From This Snare

Verse 1

I acknowledged my sin to You and I did not cover my iniquity
There's no way to hide from Your all seeing eyes
You know everything I can't tell you a lie
You know my own heart much better than I
You know when I sleep and You know when I rise
You know all the thoughts that go through my mind
From morning to night every moment of pride Hey
I acknowledged my sin to You and I did not cover my iniquity
You know what I've done, you know what I do
So I open my mouth and confess it to You
And Your making me new, it's Your Spirit at work
To convict me of sin so I know where to turn
And I know where to run,
Run to Your arms to be cleansed of my sin by the blood of your Son Hey
I acknowledge my sin, I know I can't kill it with a knife or a gun
It must be crucified on the cross with Your Son
Then I can know that it's finished and done
Then I can know that I'm truly forgiven and get to the business of living for you
And it's not for my glory but only for You
And it speaks of Your mercy, Your love and Your truth
Give me the faith to believe what You say
And to trust in Your Word when I'm tempted to stray
And to patiently wait for the day You return
I hate my sin it burns but

Verse 2

Oh God my sin is great, there's no escaping it
I hate my sin but i still partake in it
I've become numb to the touch of feeling it
Ive learned the art and skill of concealing it
I might pretend and keep my composure
Hoping never to disclose the truth that exposes it
And even though nobody around me knows it
God you notice it
And when I alone it shows it
I do a good job doing good deeds
Look the right part because I say the right things
Trust your word, and whats best for me
But it seems that I still live in disbelief
I begin to better understand confession
When I understand the weight of my sin and its effect
How it's a direct reflection of my selfishness
And recognize God correct assessment
I don't have to hide behind my own pride
Tear myself up from the gilt inside
Because I've been given everything I've ever needed
To stand clean and forgiven when I received Jesus

Chorus

The old will pass away, while I'm still here You hear my pray
Please, wash my sins away oh Lord release me from this snare

Lecrae’s Church Clothes 2 Sells 15,000 Units First Week

This week’s album sales charts will prominently feature hip hop acts, including the most prominent Christian Hip Hop name. Lecrae has unofficially cracked Top 200 charts at #21 with the non-DJ version of 'Church Clothes 2' which was released last Thursday. After 120,000 downloads of the DJ Don Cannon-hosted version from Datpiff, Lecrae sold over 15,000 album units digitally on iTunes. This number would be impressive for a regular album release with stellar marketing but is especially remarkable considering the presence of a free download. The sequel to last year’s Church Clothes mixtape joins Eminem’s 'Marshall Mathers 2' LP and Drake’s 'Nothing Was The Same' as the top hip hop releases of this week. Congrats to Lecrae for his continued success on the charts!

Beautiful Eulogy - Instruments of Mercy album cover

Beautiful Eulogy are wrapping up their upcoming album 'Instruments of Mercy', which from the sound of the lead single and music video for "Vital Lens" it will likely be in the same vein. The trio are bringing something fresh to hip hop, especially Christian Hip Hop and we're excited to hear how the new project reflects their growth as a group. Today the group released the album cover art and will release their tour dates along with the album release date soon, so stay tuned.

Alex Faith 'ATLast' Cover & Tracklisting Revealed

Although a relatively new name breaking into the CHH music scene, Alex Faith is anything but new to the industry. Since his first coming out on Sho Baraka's "Barakaology" mixtape, to his contributions in the iTunes and Billboards chart-topping album, W.L.A.K., Alex Faith has been long anticipated to release his debut project. On November 5, 2013, Alex Faith releases "ATLast", his debut album with Collision Records.

"ATLast" is about Alex Faith's arrival to a place we all have to come to, where Jesus is better than all the other influences warring for our attention, our allegiance and our affections. "ATLast" embraces the southern, urban sounds that Alex grew up around and uses them to transform that culture that raised him. Embracing where he came from and loving everything that made him, "ATLast" does not neglect the urban south, but rather seeks to redeem those things for Jesus. With previous mixtapes such as "Honest to God," Alex has formed a reputation of being candidly honest and authentic, and "ATLast" continues that practice. "We were created for more," Alex says. "Everyone goes through life trying to get somewhere. This destination...we all have to arrive at is always and ultimately going to be at the feet of Jesus."

"I arrived at the conclusion that Jesus is better. There was a war going on for my affections and Jesus won out."
