This week’s premieres include the latest release from a Christian music veteran and the debut of a rapper from Philadelphia.

Celebrating 25 years of ministry, and coming back from a 10 year recording sabbatical, Rick Cua releases his 12th project, Won’t Fade Away. In his 25 years, Rick has had 6 #1 songs, 9 Top 5 hits, he has been nominated for a Dove Award, authored the book Songs To Live By and his list of accolades goes on.

Through lyrical evangelism, teaching and preaching, R-Swift is poised to spark a revolution with his debut release Revolutionary Theme Muzik as the backdrop.

The album lays the groundwork for a revolution of eternal proportions with songs like Smile featuring J.R., which encourages the saints to stand firm in the Lord; Dear Holy Hip Hop, which speaks to people within the Christian hip hop community that have forgotten their first love and calling; and Higher, a rowdy anthem screaming our dedication as Christians to lift the Lord up high.

Currently, R-Swift is actively involved with the Youth Study Center in Philadelphia (a detention center for youth offenders) where he ministers the Gospel.

Both Won’t Fade Away and Revolutionary Theme Muzik will be specially priced at $17.99 or less at participating Canadian Christian retailers. Head over to HearItFirst.ca to hear these upcoming releases.
