First of I gotta say, there's TONS of artists giving out their stuff for free, so I'm not posting everything I've found. I'm putting up websites that are excellent resources for that stuff and some examples, not every single thing I've found. IOW, if you like what I put up, you'll probably be able to find more yourself if you look. Anyway, let's go:
B. Reith is coming out with a free remix-mixtape! It'll be out the 29th this month. B. Reith is what would happen if Eminem was fused with Jason mraz. Honestly, I have a friend who hates rap/hip hop, and he enjoys this guy.
To download this song: http://www.tweematic.com/breith/thanks.php
(If you don't have a twitter or facebook, click the twitter icon then in the next page click "<- Cancel and return to app" to go to a page that will let you download it)
Jesus Freak Hideout has a 37 song multi-genre sampler out! Click here to find out more and how to download it. I highly recommend it. (They also have a page for free music with samples from all genres--Sara Groves to Thousand Foot Krutch to Matt Maher.): http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/downloads/freemusic.asp
Alright, sorry, but I have more rap stuff. Bear with me.
Beautiful Eulogy's newly released "Satellite Kite" and Theory Hazit's "Thr3e" are available from their publisher as FREE Downloads!! If you like spoken poetry, you will love Satellite Kite, maybe even Thr3e.

Heath McNease:
This guy is a beast of a work-horse. (Rapper/acoustic guitarist) His albums here(Thrift store Jesus, Wed White Wu, and Outta Console) are free, unless you choose to leave a tip. Just put the amount as 0 and you will be emailed the goods. He's fun and goofy ("Tanuki") yet very mature at times(Ground Hog Day, Thrift Store Jesus, Survival of the Fiddest). If you like experimental/hip hop/video games/acoustic stuff, you will probably find something to like from him.

Noisetrade Stuff:
I can't recommend Noisetrade enough!! (Now there are a lot of non Christian musicians there too) This is the site that I am most unfamiliar with, but here's what I do know. All the music is free, leave your email and they'll send you the music(you don't have to press the leave a tip button). They're lots of artists, Lecrae(he has a full album for free!), Tedashii, Trip Lee, KB, Sho Baraka, This'l, and Andy Mineo as far as rap goes. Sara Groves, Jars of Clay, Poema (pretty good sister piano pop duo.), Five Iron Frenzy, Iona (a cool Irish band), and Jon McLaughlin are some more artists you may be interested in. There's so many! And so many I don't know! (And I know about a lot of musicians, albeit more of the lesser know variety).
Here's the link: http://noisetrade.com/
Sheesh, who says there is no good Christian music.
Take Care!
If you have some artists you wish to share about, leave a comment and let us know! Just make sure the free music is LEGALLY free. Just sayin.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I almost never get the songs that are only free on a certain day b/c I always miss them. :/
ReplyDeleteI have to free samplers from amazon, but the are both metalcore screamo type stuff.

OK so this one is unique. The only "christian" artist (I hate that shallow label--what makes a song christian?) is the very first one, The Devil Wears Prada. The others are all nonchristian. What I did was download the whole thing, then delete all but the TDWP song.

NOTE: Facedown Records is composed of mostly "christian" artists, but there are a few iffy ones here and there. So in regards to the sampler, use discernment. Nuf' said. (which really we all should be doing anyway.)
Thats it!
Thanks again bro
ok it's come to my attention that the noisetrade info about the lecrae church clothes mixtape is not correct, the noistrade only has a single from his mixtape. Please use this link:
