Collective Style...

There are multiple CHH publications out there... Every one has their own "brand" complete with logos and business plans. Everyone is claiming to be on the same mission, but on some level they're all competing for consumers...

We're trying to be different. Sure, we have a logo too. Not really a business plan so much. More like a vision... The Collective in JAMZ Collective is deliberate!

We're not throwing shade at those other guys either. There are some good ones. (We rock with Save America Music! 😎) Some not so much, like... Well, you can decide that for yourself. 😉 We highly recommend doing some critical thinking about who you support though.

So what do we mean when we say the Collective is deliberate? A collective is a group of individuals or entities with a common interest. It is considered a whole. One. Sound familiar? That's how the true body of Christ functions too.

Most of the other guys try hard but for the most part they're stuck on a mindset & model that mimics the world... It's all about business! They like to pick winners... & losers. Most of what they do revolves around growth at all cost & ultimately, making a profit.

We feel like we're part of something larger than ourselves. One of the reasons we haven't started a formal business with this is because if we were a "business" we'd inherently have to look out for our own interests & if that somehow conflicted with the interests of others, we'd have to make a choice. Forgive us if that doesn't feel like a Kingdom mindset to us.

We're building but when we say we, it means YOU & US. We have some ways for people to support what WE'RE doing. For the most part, they're not monetary & we hope to largely keep it that way. When it does involve dough though, our goal is for that to be voluntary and collaborative.

For instance, we're building an Artist Directory on the site. No strings attached! If you're a sincere follower of Christ who makes hip-hop that's good enough for us. We have no grand visions of charging anyone to be added BUT if you regularly check out the site and share it within your sphere of influence it helps US ALL. Our philosophy is when ANY of US win WE ALL win!

Speaking of winning, every independent CHH artist makes music to be heard, right? Even if your priority isn't fame or fortune (which is hopefully the case for most of us) presumably you want to reach people to share or encourage them in the Gospel. I mean... that's sort of a mandate from Christ. Enter the JAMZ Collective Playlist.

This is OUR playlist... Yes, YOU & US. So the more WE invest in this Playlist, the more WE expand OUR reach? Ya dig what we're saying bros and sis's? So, you tell us... WHY not save it, share it, & JAM it?

Then there's JAMZ MAG Online. This exists solely to highlight what you... no, WE are doing to advance the Gospel & honor God. We hope you'll check it the articles... If you're tapped in with us you'll probably be featured at some point, if you haven't already been. BUT... here's the thing. If you're not interacting (commenting and clicking the love button under the articles) you're missing out. Like everything else WE'RE doing, sharing the articles on your social media helps US!! Take a few minutes to help us build our audience & if you're interested in helping to write for JAMZ MAG Online reach out to us. (Serious inquiries only though.)

We're also working on building a schedule of great programming on our social media pages. Tuesdays we air audio of The Sacrificial Mix Show with a visual player. Our flagship show The WAR ROOM airs every Wednesday evening at 5p PST / 8p EST!! Fridays our bro Word Rat simulcasts his show The Rat Cave on our platform as well!

There's also a FREE DOWNLOAD page where you can grab music without breaking the bank. WE'RE working on a whole more too. TAP IN with us. JAM with US!!

God bless,
