As I’ve said before, within the last year Christian hip hop has stepped its music video game up considerably. Problem is, most of these golden nuggets seem relegated to the Internet. My man Von Won in H-town wants to change that.
He’s got a half hour Reel Talk video show that runs on Saturday nights on an over-the-air station here in Houston. It’s got a good time slot for its target audience of unbelievers and is well produced. Problem is – he needs your flicks.
If you’ve got a hot clip you want to get some play in the nation’s 4th largest city, send your .MOV, QuickTime, or DVD to reeltalkworldwide@gmail.com.
Von Won let me know that the first episode of his Reel Talk TV will air this weekend. H-town's Lil Keke is on the premiere along with Yunek, Gifted, STC, and Big Al.
Here are the details:
Channel 55 - The Tube (will also be on DaSouth.com soon) Saturday, June 6 - 1am
Von tells me he'll feature interviews and Christian rap music videos. It's an over-the-air network so prisons and families without cable access will be able to get a much more positive alternative to the HOT TV mainstream rap show that airs just before it. And at the end of each episode, Von says there will be an invitation for viewers to give their lives to Christ.
This weekly show could use your support. Please view, pray, and consider giving to Reel Talk TV.
