Welcome to the next biggest thing in Christian Hip Hop since The Cross Movement…
When it comes to the Christian Hip Hop movement there are those stellar names who immediately come to mind; Gospel Gangstaz, Lecrae, Flame, Grits, Da T.R.U.T.H. and The Ambassador are amongst the first names to be uttered from the lips of CHH fans but, without doubt, the first name that comes to mind is the group many believe to be the pioneers of the Christian Hip Hop movement, and that is of course The Cross Movement. To compare any Christian artist or group to the Christian Hip Hop titans is most certainly not to be taken lightly and carries with it a certain element of risk. With Keno Camp though, the comparison is natural and justified, even after just one album. Keno Camp are the next biggest group in CHH since The Cross Movement; or, at the very least, they will join the likes of Lecrae and Flame to be the first artists/groups that come to mind when the subject of Christian Hip Hop is brought up.
Thanks to their discovery by fellow West Coasters, and now label mates, Gospel Gangstaz, Keno Camp was signed by Nashville, TN based Trendency Records in the fall of 2013. Keno Camp, made up of Mario “Escort” Herrea, Gabe Taylor, Jesus “Lowser” Herrera and Terrell “Tee” Sales, are ready to take the wraps off their debut album Riot and are doing so today. They always say you should put your best foot forward and Keno Camp have certainly done that with their debut 12-track offering entitled Riot. In doing so, the saying also applies to the year we’ve just entered into, as Keno Camp kicks off 2014 with a bang and with what will surely be one of the year’s strongest releases.
