Evvie McKinney‘s highly anticipated EP, “It Ain’t Over,” is now available on all streaming platforms. On this six-track contemporary gospel project Evvie encourages her listeners to remain steadfast in the pursuit of their dreams, regardless of the obstacles they may face. Additionally, she inspires her fans and supporters to trust and believe in Jesus.

“It Ain’t Over” features only two collaborative songs. Track #4, “Believe in Jesus,” is a collaboration with singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist DOE.

The other collaboration is “Good 2 Me,” a rap-infused track performed by Evvie, Dubba-AA, and Anike. 

In addition to Evvie McKinney, creative credits should also be attributed to Andrei Fossari, Phil  Jones, Tyler James Bellinger, Timothy Bullock, Vincent Berry II, Caleb Sean McCampbell, Slikk Muzik, Jeremy “J-Mu” Hairston, Makeba Riddick, Colby Wedgeworth, Molly Reed Grayson, Anike Dees, Dubba-AA, Mondaii, Aliah Aiken, Charles “Chuck” Butler, and Jonathan Smith.

In July 2005, author and pastor Michael Carter received a vision from God to start a unique church in Jamaica, and he responded by preaching to a handful of people under a mango tree. It is there and then that the Celebration Church was born.

Fast-forward to 2025, and the Celebration Church is now gearing up to commemorate its 20th anniversary with a major gospel concert. This will be a joyful expression of gratitude for all God has done and continues to do.

The event will be held on Saturday, July 12th, at The Celebration Church (Portmore Mall, Jamaica). There will be musical ministrations by Joan Flemmings, Johnmark Wiggan, Prince Saj, Audia Spencer-Brown, Minister D. Brown, and Genesis Praise Squad.

On Friday, June 20th, 2025, recording artist Anendlessocean released a six-track EP called “Sceptre.” In an interview he did with 49thStreet in 2023, Anendlessocean said the following: “I decided to describe all of my projects using polygons. That’s just it; there’s nothing deeper. Most of my projects will be named after polygons.” That said, his fans and supporters should not read too much into the record’s title.

In addition to the EP, Anendlessocean also released the official video for track #1, “El,” on the same day. If you have not yet seen the visual, click here or on the image above to check it out, and remember to like, comment, and share.
