WHATUPRG

Devotion to a higher power fuels the fire of tirelessly ambitious Christian rapper WHATUPRG. He was rapping by age 12, self-releasing music by 14, then signing with established labels and doing features on songs by bigger names in the Christian rap scene by his later teens. With his 2018 signing to Atlanta label Reach Records, WHATUPRG entered the next phase of his career by issuing Pleasant Hill, an EP led by the confrontational and bilingual single "Wesside." After a second EP, RAUL, WHATUPRG put together his first album, NEW HOLLYWOOD, issued in 2022. He has continued to mix trap-styled production and melodic, faith-based rap with singles such as 2023's "God Made a Way," 2024's "This Time Last Year," and 2025's "CIEN DOCENAS."
