Toledo, OH - “Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them, because such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words.” [Romans 16:17-18]

Clear issues throughout the modern American church need to be addressed.

Ohio emcee Griffin kicks in the door to 2026 with his first release of the year, the controversy-packed single Mega Church.

Griffin is no stranger to making music that raises eyebrows and leaves listeners soul-searching their own standing. As a member of the legendary Tunnel Rats, Griffin has never been one to shyaway from topics and conversations that others may find uncomfortable. In fact, he embraces the opportunities, especially if the result is spiritual growth.

With Mega Church, the record raises the question of whether America’s congregations are fulfilling their divine purpose, or if selfishness is the guiding factor.

With production by RoxRan and engineering handled by Polished Arrow Music’s m1L and iNTELLECT, Mega Church is an immediate add to any boom-bap and underground hip-hop playlist. Add it now via your favorite music streaming service!

About Griffin

Currently based in Toledo, Ohio, Griffin is a hip-hop artist whose origin is deeply rooted in CHH. At the age of 17, he gave his life to Christ and pursued spreading the Gospel through a more hardcore approach. In 2002, he made his debut on the ‘Underground Rise Vol. 1: Sunrise to Sunset’ compilation produced by the L.A.-based Tunnel Rats. He was recruited by Dax Reynosa, of LPG, to become a fulltime member of the Tunnel Rats, making him the youngest member at the time. In 2009, Griffin would release his first solo LP, ‘Samson,’ and while there is much unmentioned through his journey in CHH, much hasn’t changed. It’s still Christ, family, and hip-hop.
