Rapzilla is a Christian hip hop online magazine. The website contains many sections such as the latest news, album reviews, articles, interviews, music downloads, videos, release dates, and columns.
The website's goal is to cover quality Christian hip hop music and bring more exposure to the scene.
History
Rapzilla was created in 2003 by Philip Rood, a fifteen-year-old missionary child living in Belgium. In 2010, he partnered with Chad Horton, who ran a similar Christian hip hop site called Hip Hop for theSoul, and the two decided to merge their efforts. On 2013, Dove Awards announces partnership with Rapzilla.com.
In 2017, Rood sold his ownership of Rapzilla to Horton, ending his association with the company. In 2019, Rapzilla acquired Christian Hip Hop blog New H2O.
Rating system
According to website owner Chad Horton, reviews by Rapzilla include an averaged rating by the staff in order to weight against any bias by a particular reviewer. Additionally, albums that rate lower than 3 or 3.5 are usually not reviewed until their popularity increases.
