Hip-hop has gone through quite a run over the past few months.  In addition to a continued seperation between "hip-hop" and "rap," with even more sub-genres underneath this two umbrellas, the previous leader in CD sales has begun to rake in big numbers at the internet cash-register, and is seeing more artist's than ever before amass big accolades; including awards and recognition that previous artist's could only dream of. However, that is also one of the key reason's why there has been a similar growth in the Christian Rap world, as well...but...it is also the reason why a resurgant P-Duble has finally chosen to put all hesitations aside and to strike at the devil in a manner that many either are unable to or don't feel comfortable.      "I'm about to grind. I gots just one single comin' out on it's own on a brand-new label and with a whole new look, feel and sound," stated P-Duble. "I have a second joint that I'll be workin' on soon, then there should be an EP. I'm just marinatin' the steak. I'm gettin' everyone ready for the process."      With stars such as Lil' Wayne and 50 Cent rising to the top of the rap game over the past few years, Christian artists, such as Tedashi, Lecrae, Ambassador, D-Maub and K-Drama have also been rising to the top of their game. However, as humble as he may be, P-Duble is not afraid to call anyone out and this especially goes to his fellow Christian artists; whom he doesn't pull any punches in saying "...just don't get deep enough into the streets where the Word is so needed,"      "My stuff will come out when it's time to come out and it's the right time to come out. Every rapper be puttin' out second-rate joints way too fast and that's just garbage; no different than the spiritual garbage that is already on them streets," P-Duble added. "Everyone thinks they gonna' reinvent the wheel every month, but the lost already got wheel's and theuy flossin', so we gots to give em' somethin' extra. My God is extraordinary, so why can't I praise Him with somethin' "extra" ordinary?"          History hasn't given much resource to even reference that non-christian artists even know or care about their Christian counterparts. However, in just the past few months, P-Duble has not only garnered the respect of some of the most talented and even jaded artists on the streets, but he has even become the target of a few lines of paper typically reserved for other topics.      "I've baited to come out so they could break my neck or somethin'. I know heads that would be flattered to even be mentioned; not me. It saddens me and I pray for em'," P-Duble expressed. "My Lord's consistency will do all the neck breakin', the same way LL's consistency broke Cannibus."      P-Duble's response was anything, but confrontational...or was (is) it?      Here, you decide: "I'm a hustla' and always have been, but now I hustle music and the Word of God. I'm that simple, basic hustle like the lemonade stand. Always there and tastes good when ya' thirtsty, but even when ya' not you still see me and think about me and end up buying a glass anyways, but you know it tastes good and you really want it."      So what does the future hold for P-dub?      "Who cares about the future? It's about the now and what needs to be done out here. People actin' like they know what they should be doin'...they act like the game has changed so much, but everything is gonna' be at a point where it has it's lows. There are too many Christian artists who wanna' ride when it's up, but when it gets down they wanna' act like it was never up. You wanna' know why there WERE up's like that? Because the Lord made em' ups...He sacrificied His life for you, yet me only wanna' rep Him when the CD's are sellin' or the crowd is huge."      Now, it seems the gloves have come off on P-Duble's part, as his new and first single (I Ball) off his brand-new label, Stank Records, contains some blatant words for the unsaved on the darkest streets. How those who hear it and heed it will respond isn't exactly a mystery; both from saved and un-saved listeners and even more critically in the Holy Hip-Hop world...P-Dub is used to beef in his life, as well as the role of an underdog.      "I don't see us hungry enough for the lost. The saved already have theirs, whether you sell records or not, where's today's innovators and street sweepers...Gospel Gangsters, CMC's, S.S. Mob's...we (Christian artists) used to be so hungry to just reach that one soul, now we puttin' joints out like they turkeys," P-Duble stated. "I'ma do what I have to do and what my Lord calls me to do. You have to sacrifice what you got for what you believe in. If you go hard, you get out what you put in."      Since P-Duble chose to poke the sleeping bear, he undoubtedly will be forced to face the consequences, but does that really matter if souls are being saved in the end? Will he actually care what other's think if he is following the path the Lord has laid out for Him?      "Whatever...some of ya'll is just too old, stubborn or juz impatient and don't want to put the work in for the Kingdom...no worries, you will always have my love and you jusyt go ahead and keep doin' and I'll put in more than enough work for all of us."
