Female gospel rapper Porsha Love, who hails from Detroit, has announced that she will be heading out on the road this fall. She will be joined by Jon Keith, Miles Minnick and CJ Emulous, with host Andre Halo and special guests Oneluke and Gospel Mike.

The Invasion Tour, which is what its being called, will run throughout the month of October with stops in Atlanta, Miami, Elkhart, Lebanon, Phoenix, Stockton and Vallejo. Get exact dates and locations here.

Regretfully, Jodian Pantry‘s EP release was pushed back due to production delays that were out of her control. The team at Paul Patmore Production – the imprint with which Pantry is signed – is now anticipating that the project will be ready in mid to late August. They are also promising to make an official announcement once the new date has been decided.

That said, Jodian Pantry continues to have a packed schedule that includes interviews, public appearances and live performances. This weekend alone she will be singing at four events; three of which will be on the same day. 

Pantry kicked off the weekend with a performance at Prison Oval on Friday, July 29; this is an event that was hosted by Jamaica’s Ministry of Health & Wellness. On Sunday, the 31st, she will join thousands of mourners at the funeral service for the Clarendon mother and her four children who were murdered at their home in the community of Cocoa Piece. Pantry, who is a gospel recording artist, will attempt to bring some comfort to the family and friends of the deceased through her music ministry.

Following the burial, Jodian will head to the Elethe Mall Plaza in Mandeville at approximately 6pm for the Fashium – Colors Edition fashion show. This is the only fashion pageantry that will see girls from different parishes competing. Pantry, the event’s special guest artist, will provide the musical entertainment.

Her final stop for the day will be at the Sligoville Stadium for Emanci-Fest 2022. Here she will join Sista Pat, Carey Sayles and Kevin Downswell for a gospel concert that is free to the public. Emanci-Fest is a two day festival that is held annually to preserve the heritage and safeguard the legacy of the area as Jamaica’s first liberated village. Jodian Pantry received a special invitation from M.P. Natalie Neita-Garvey, a long time supporter, who is instrumental in the staging of Emanci-Fest.

Nigerian singer-songwriter Sinach will perform live in Whitby, Ontario on Friday, August 19th. She will be hosted at Canada Christian College (300 Water Sreet) by Apostle Dominion King. The event will also feature Kimberly Ade.

Sinach is the first singer-songwriter to top the Billboard Christian Songwriter chart for twelve weeks in a row. Her song “Way Maker,” got three nominations and won the Song of the Year at the 51st GMA Dove Awards, making her the first Nigerian to win the award. She also won the BMI song of the year, and in 2021 was recognized by the US Congress while on tour in America.

Business man Kemar Galllimore, who also functions as a minister of the gospel, will be hosting another edition of the concert series he calls Gospel To The World. This one is scheduled for Sunday, August 14 at Royal Palm Beach Cultural Center – 151 Civic Center Way – in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.

For this staging he has invited Minister Marion Hall (formerly Lady Saw), Papa San, Prodigal Son, Shepherd, Kary Diamond and AG. Ikonn to join him; with Princess Nikki B as the MC. Tickets and additional information are available on eventbrite.

As he gears up for his album release on August 25th, Brandon Trejo – from the Kingdom Muzic camp – is sharing some new visuals. He just released the official video for Movin’ Different, one of the songs that will be featured on the record.

According to young Brandon, the tune – which is all about how God has inspired him to think and act differently – is dedicated to his parents. If you have not yet seen the visuals, check it out and remember to like, comment and share.

Recording artist and minister of the gospel Rhoda Isabella will be bringing back RIM Alive: The Journey Continues next month: Friday, August 12th, 2022. The return staging will be held at Fellowship Tabernacle in Kingston, Jamaica from 6pm to 11pm.

Isabella is encouraging all believers in and around Kingston to come out and experience this live praise and worship event. General admission is $1,850 JMD, while VIP is going for $2,850 JMD.

A few days ago, on July 17th, she shared a video of her performing some popular church medleys. If you have not yet seen it, check it out and remember to like, comment and share.
