One of the pioneers of female rap, MC Lyte, has just released an inspirational single called Thank You. The record features Mary Mary and Muni Long, and is being labeled as gospel by some industry insiders, not because of Mary Mary but rather because of MC Lyte‘s overt and passionate praise and acknowledgement of God.
Hip-hop lovers, however, who are of the belief that Lyte may be dropping an album soon, consider Thank You one of the strongest of her recent releases. It went live on streaming platforms on August 23rd and is on the My Block Inc. imprint.

Renowned Jamaican gospel artist Chevelle Franklyn is thrilled to announce the release of her latest album, South Wind Vol. 1. This highly anticipated collection of praise and worship music showcases Chevelle’s signature blend of vibrant melodies, sweet harmonies, and heartfelt lyrics, capturing the essence of worship with a powerful anointing that resonates deeply with listeners.
“This album is a testament to the transformative power of God, and I am inviting everyone to immerse themselves in this worship experience and feel the power of God in the music,” said an excited Chevelle. She continued, “It was a truly inspirational experience for me recording this album, and I am getting so much joy from sharing it with everyone.”
South Wind Vol. 1 was recorded in the rich cultural landscape of South Africa, bringing together a dynamic mix of indigenous sounds with songs in both English and Zulu. The album offers a soul-stirring journey of faith, hope, and love, transporting listeners to a place of spiritual renewal and inspiration.
One of the standout tracks from the album is “Jesus Wins,” a song that captures the victory and triumph of Jesus Christ. “Jesus Wins celebrates the eternal hope we have in our Savior. This song resonates not only on earth but in heaven, echoing the praises of angels. This powerful anthem evokes a sense of awe and reverence, reminding us of the greatness and majesty of Jesus Christ.” Chevelle describes it as one of her favorites on the album.
In addition to “Jesus Wins,” South Wind Vol. 1 features other captivating tracks such as “We Will Sing,” “Highest Are You” featuring Nathaniel Bassey, and “In This Room” featuring Ntokozo Mbambo. Each of these tracks contributes to the album’s theme of worship and adoration. The album also includes collaborations with celebrated artists like Phil Thompson and Dr. Tumi on the bonus track “Rebuild the Altar.”
South Wind Vol. 1 was released under Integrity Music and is now available on all major music platforms.
