SUPPORT BLACK ROCK MUSIC!!!

That Bando Stone and the New World trailer looks pretty cool. It has a Cloverfield meets A Quiet Place, but starring a Lionel Richie-type character. It looks like fun! I'm down to see it.

I'm also excited about the rock vibes on the new “Lithonia” song for the soundtrack.

I don't know if that's the whole vibe of the soundtrack, but it does remind me of some new Black Christian rock songs I like.

YBA (Young Black American) — the New Respects

This may be my song of the year. As the New Respects continue to traverse their independent journey they keep popping out awesome gems like this. I hope more people get hip to them, like they did with Infinity Song.

The World is Ending — Shua

When you listen to Gambino’s music you get will confronted with “the end”. That could be the end of a relationship or the end of the world. Shua strikes the balance between the two. This is a cut from his Fix Myself to Death Ep.

Metamorphasis — Infinity Song

Man, I love some Infinity Song!

In this week's episode, the gang finds their inner rocker as they realize the Holy internal power within themselves to fulfill their destiny. This song has this slow melancholic buildup that explodes into some good old-fashioned guitar runs. By the way, if you look at all their outfits and how they vibe to the music they all channel different eras and rock music styles.

Hold On — Nyrik Brown

This is a relative newcomer on the scene. We spoke not too long ago and he seems like a cool guy. I liked his Hold On album, and he's bringing some very 60s vintage rock feels to the Christian music scene. I hope more people get to hear about him.

Lastly, here is a playlist of Christian music for fans of Childish Gambino. I guess I need to add some more black rock to this playlist, given how “Lithonia” sounds. I’m excited about that Lego Pharrell movie, too!
