Bring it/Leave it in 2022 List for #CHH | @chrispyakakon @trackstarz
We’re a little bit into 2022 now and while we probably have high expectations for the sub-genre known as Christian Hip-Hop aka Christian Rap aka Gospel Rap aka Holy Hip-Hop (for the super christians), we probably have a few things we could take and leave in this fiscal year. Below are things we need to […]
The False Expectation of Marriage for Being a Good Girl: Thoughts on Erica’s comments| @intercession4ag @trackstarz
I understand where Erica Campbell is coming from as she encourages singles to shift their thinking from loose sexual character to that of purity in preparation for marriage. There has to be a mature mindset to take on marriage especially if we will do so successfully, but it could easily be derived from her statement […]
What Does Proverbs 18:22 Mean?|@intercession4ag @russelynwilliams @trackstarz
What does Proverbs 18:22 really mean? This scripture has been drilled into women by religious leaders and teachers causing bondage. The teachings of this scripture have over-emphasized a mindset of women taking a passive role in the forming of a relationship. The teachings have even gone as far as to accuse women of being easy […]
Memorials of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in African American History |@intercession4ag @trackstarz
I’m a firm believer that God leaves memorials throughout history in the form of people to point to him and his goodness. God did this within African American history. Although, God did not ordain the sinful acts against African Americans; he worked within the framework of things that happened to help African Americans experience freedom […]
Getting Still in an Age of Hustle and Grind | @intercession4ag @trackstarz
What up Y’all! I know it’s been a while since I dropped a blog article. I’ve been practicing what I’m about to preach—getting still. Getting still can be a hard thing to do. There is always something to do. So much so, that if we aren’t intentional about getting still—we run the risk of going […]
Who is Missing Out Because You Refuse to Be Your Authentic Self? | @trackstarz @intercession4ag
So much is involved with deciding to be ourselves. There is fear, the opinions of others, the possibility to be seen as an outsider among one’s own kind, and mental and emotional exhaustion if we are addicted to the acceptance of others. These are just a few reasons why many decide to blend in with […]
#StopAsianHate | @chrispyakakon
(This article is the writer’s own opinion and not necessarily reflective of Trackstarz) I am tired. I am tired of the excuses. I am tired of the apathy. If it wasn’t clear, I am a hyphenated American of Asian descent. Folks like me that are looked at as the perpetual foreigner unless America needs to […]
How to Hold on to Jesus When Others are Letting Go |@intercession4ag @trackstarz
What’s up IFG Tribe (Intercession for a Generation.) If you’ve been rocking with me since I started the blog, you probably know the tagline: To teach a generation the heart of God and the way of the Lord. This is still foundational to the blog even though I write on a host of issues that […]
You Don’t Have to Be Clergy to Be in Ministry | @trackstarz @intercession4ag
There are those of us who have heavy callings on our lives from God but face challenges of sometimes feeling unworthy to complete those callings for the following reasons. We haven’t been ordained as ministers in the church. We have not been accepted by the in-crowd of the church elite. We are not popular. However, […]

Florida’s own Shepherd continues to take his music outside the box. On his latest release, “Zone,” Shepherd gives us the high energy anthems we’re used to but with a twist. For this new single, Shepherd tags in the legendary Ace Hood! Both Ace and Shepherd trade bars representing their “Zone,” which happens to be Broward […]
