Faith & Flavor: Miles Minnick Talks “CLUB,” Lecrae, Rolling Loud, and Redefining the Mainstream
Christian hip-hop is having a moment, and Miles Minnick is riding that wave straight to the top—with bars, belief, and Bay Area bounce. I sat down with the rising star to talk about his hit single “CLUB” featuring Jon Keith, his history-making performance at Rolling Loud, and his full-circle collab with Lecrae.
🎶 Slaps with Substance: The Message Behind “CLUB”
When I first spun “CLUB” during Thanksgiving weekend, I knew it hit different. It had that perfect tempo—not too fast, not too slow—with energy that lifts the room without losing the message.
“It’s an invitation to come higher—in your mindset, your spirit, your purpose,” said Miles. “It’s a club where everyone’s welcome, as long as you’re real.”
From NBA arenas to radio airwaves, “CLUB” is catching fire. “We knew it was the focus track before it even dropped,” he said. “And now it’s going crazy on both faith-based and mainstream platforms.”
📸 Going Viral at Rolling Loud: Faith on a Festival Stage
Minnick made history as the first solo Christian act booked at Rolling Loud, and his now-viral altar call momentflipped the script on what faith-based rap can do on the biggest stages.
“They didn’t just throw me in the Christian slot on a Sunday morning. They gave me a real slot, primetime,” Miles said. “I brought the faith and the flavor.”
And the internet agreed—millions of views later, the message is loud and clear: this isn’t your old-school Christian rap. This is the new mainstream.
🙏 Full Circle with Lecrae: From $10 to “Heaven Sent”
Back in 2014, Miles waited outside Lecrae’s tour bus in San Francisco—not with a demo, but with $10 in his hand.
“I told him, ‘Take this, because I’m sowing into where I want to go,’” said Miles.
Fast forward to 2025, and the two just dropped “Heaven Sent”—a powerful collab that cements Miles’ seat at the table.
“Now we talk daily. It’s wild, man. You can’t put a price on that.”
🌊 West Coast Connection: Teaming Up with Jon Keith
Jon Keith, repping San Diego, met Miles in 2019 at a Bay Area show—and the chemistry was instant.
“We did one track… then another… then we were like, yo, let’s just drop a whole project,” said Miles.
The result? “West Indies”—a hard-hitting, genre-defying EP that’s pushing boundaries while staying rooted in West Coast soil.
🔥 310Babii Collab: “My Twin” Is Here
Miles’ latest single “My Twin” with L.A. star 310Babii just dropped—and it’s another example of mainstream sound meeting meaningful content.
“It’s like a Marvel crossover. He brings the party, I bring the message. We’re redefining what mainstream can be.”
💡 Real Talk: Advice for Artists and the Streets
When I asked Miles what he’d tell someone caught between the streets and the Kingdom, his answer was simple but powerful:
“There’s no peace like the peace you get from God. Your life has meaning. But you only find that meaning when you connect with the one who made you.”
And for independent artists trying to find their lane?
“Know your why, develop your sound, build your strategy, and tell your story. If you stay consistent and tap into your region, you’re winning.”
🎧 The Bottom Line
Faith and flavor. Slaps with substance. Miles Minnick is part of a new wave that’s changing the sound of hip-hop—and it’s only the beginning.
