You never know what you’ll learn at church, especially with Vic Spencer at the pulpit and A-Villa leading the choir. Today’s sermon: a reminder on the roots of Hip-Hop and turning your eye from the superficiality running rampant. I wouldn’t get my daily wisdom from anyone else than The Rapping Bastard. Okay, maybe this one…

The producer behind our Masters of Ceremony cypher has a big 2014 planned with two albums, Villafied and Carry On Tradition. Villafied will serve as a collection of loosies, b-sides, and instrumentals, including “Church Movie.” Carry On Tradition will be A-Villa’s feature film for 2014 and will star Cormega, Action Bronson, Big K.R.I.T., Kool G Rap, Joell Ortiz, Chance The Rapper, M.O.P., AZ, Freeway and many more.

You’ll be able to download “Church Movie” later in the week on iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon. And you can check out more production from the Chicago producer on his Soundcloud.
