#10. Swoope
Sonshine

Release Date: February 2, 2018
I've been waiting a while for Swoope to follow up what's possibly my all-time favorite Christian hip-hop album, Sinema. Here's hoping he's back with another masterpiece on Sonshine.
        - Chase Tremaine

Swoope's debut album, Wake Up, was widely considered an instant classic in CHH. His follow-up, Sinema, earned a five-star review from me. I've been waiting a long time for the follow-up to one of my favorite hip hop albums ever, and I'm excited to hear what Sonshine will sound like!
