Trackstarz are finally on Wade-o's Show. They deserve it. I've been following those guys for a long time and I wish both Wade-o and Trackstarz were on natural radio or at least have their own radio stations. Keep up the good work and keep spreading the word. God bless you all!
That’s how I heard of Trackstarz from DaSouth.com Since then I’m locked in And I love the homie Wade O and the Wade O Radio show 2 is the best in CHH media Hands Down!!!
Since I really enjoy watching and hearing the Trackstarz and Wade O I was happy to see y’all come together! Great show brothers. Felt good to see y’all together👍🏾 love from Germany 🇩🇪
I love hearing not only about the music but what happens behind the music, the time the artist put into people and using the platform to elevate others, the heart to go out and reach the least of them, the ones that can't offer you anything. That's Jesus! I love how you referenced parables in some of the new songs, isn't that how Jesus used to talk with those who did not know God...just food for thought 😁
Great interview! Found out about your channel and the Trackstarz channel and subscribed a few months ago. I always enjoy the conversations. I liked everyone's perspective regarding Lecrae and CHH. I listen to his lyrics and interviews closely and believe his heart is in the right place. The man is fishing in different ponds. Can't have the same ole song/sound. God bless you brothas and keep doing what y'all doing!
Yo Wade-o great stuff as usual brother. Captain consideration here: could you lower the volume of the transition effects? They don’t seem to be mixed at the same levels as the dialogue and are noticeably louder when you wipe to/from pre-interview tease to interview. Thanks!
I dont really like any of the new 116 stuff. You dont have to mention Jesus 30 times in a song, but the lyrics really HIT more when they did. There is power in the name of Jesus. Thats why i really love Beautiful Eulogy!
I always hope that people will talk about rappers like SFC and Gospel Gangstaz when they talk about the founding fathers of Christian hip-hop, but it's always early 2000's stuff instead. Don't anyone remember Grapetree, Uprock, etc?
As a Christian I know you dont have go around screaming your a Christian all the time. But if im a performer and I im a Christian rapper why wouldnt I say it in songs. If you went to Church and the preacher said nothing about Jesus or God and just kept Him never directly saying who he is talking about it would leave it up to the hearer to figure out who they are talking about. From my perspective you want to people to know who you are talking about so there wont be any confusion. Who is the author of confusion? There is allot of things the church do not agree on but if you are striving for that platform then you have to be responsible when you get it. If you dont want to say Jesus or God in every rap why are you even trying to be a Christian rapper?
E Prime the point if your a rapper that says they are christian, markets to churches and say your trying to live for the Lord, there has to be a distinction the lines cannot be blurred. Main stream rappers can do what they want because they are not truly serving God they doing it for the money and fame. But when you say im a born again believer you cant just start making up stuff just cause it sounds good. The true church would think whats going on
Derek Harris how do we know the ones that proclaimed there saved and serve the Lord in the churches aren’t false what makes them so different from a mainstream artist who does the same and are maybe struggling in their walk?

Yo Wade-o great stuff as usual brother. Captain consideration here: could you lower the volume of the transition effects? They don’t seem to be mixed at the same levels as the dialogue and are noticeably louder when you wipe to/from pre-interview tease to interview. Thanks!
I'm also interested in media production.. writing a script for a Christian tv show now
Would be real dope if you got Aha on your show since no one has really interviewed him
Wade-o can you interview Kayla starks
Would like to see an updated NF interview.
Love it agree with what they said at the end some Christians get so sensitive they just need to chill
Is the roof on top of wadeo leaking or is he just sitting there sweating? 😂😂😂
I dont really like any of the new 116 stuff. You dont have to mention Jesus 30 times in a song, but the lyrics really HIT more when they did. There is power in the name of Jesus. Thats why i really love Beautiful Eulogy!
that is weird Because my first name is Wade and my last name starts with an O
I always hope that people will talk about rappers like SFC and Gospel Gangstaz when they talk about the founding fathers of Christian hip-hop, but it's always early 2000's stuff instead. Don't anyone remember Grapetree, Uprock, etc?
I love Trackstars they put my song They Wanna Hear It Remix on their soundcloud I appreciate them take a chance with me being a new comer
🙏
I know it's 3 years but it's for me.
Go Hard
Don't Waste your life
Fall Back
Desperate
Got Paper
I'm a Saint
Beautiful feet
Never heard of the trackstars? I remember DaSouth tho. CHH is soooo much bigger...
He said regular rap, I think the word is secular rap.
As a Christian I know you dont have go around screaming your a Christian all the time. But if im a performer and I im a Christian rapper why wouldnt I say it in songs. If you went to Church and the preacher said nothing about Jesus or God and just kept Him never directly saying who he is talking about it would leave it up to the hearer to figure out who they are talking about.

Derek Harris would you call chance the rapper a Christian rapper?
E Prime no
He mentions Jesus all the time so what’s the point
E Prime the point if your a rapper that says they are christian, markets to churches and say your trying to live for the Lord, there has to be a distinction the lines cannot be blurred. Main stream rappers can do what they want because they are not truly serving God they doing it for the money and fame.
