Laura – Managing Editor Photo credit: WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS / – / Collection ChristopheL via AFP As a child, I would watch the VHS (lol) on repeat however, I used to fast forward through the Ursula parts when watching it on my own, as I was a little scaredy cat. Which of the Disney films defined your childhood?Ī hard question, right? For me, after back and forth between Alice In Wonderland (1951) and The Little Mermaid (1989), The Little Mermaid just inches it. Personally, I can’t wait to see how the magic was made – and maintained for 100 years. The exhibition will feature an array of props, original costumes, and moving stories, and you’ll even get a look at the Disney parks, and the newer members of the Disney universe, like Pixar, Star Wars, and MARVEL. On October 13, Disney100: The Exhibition will open at London’s ExCeL, giving us all a look behind the scenes of some of the most iconic stories and characters.

The album created in collaboration between Lecrae and 1K Phew, “No Church in a While,” is out now via Reach Records. I’ve seen him make great decisions based off of just being humble and inquisitive,” Lecrae said. He’s been like a little brother and somebody that I can just give a lot of wisdom and insight to. Lecrae took on a mentorship role, building a close friendship and working relationship with the 25-year-old rapper. 1K Phew, whose name plays off the ideas of one-thousand-percent authenticity, and being “everybody’s favorite nephew,” as he puts it, was swiftly signed to Lecrae’s label. He just showed up and started hitting home runs,” said Lecrae. “He came to the studio, and the rest was history. Lecrae met 1K Phew in 2017 as his star was beginning to rise in Atlanta. They also organized a hip-hop contest and received over 500 applicants, narrowing it down to one winner whose original track will be recorded with Atlanta producer Zaytoven.
He and his label performed concerts, provided COVID-19 protective supplies, and helped establish educational programs at the Fulton County Jail over recent months. Tracks on the album address this “church hurt,” as well as topics like the incarcerated, with whom Lecrae has done work. “So we looked at it kind of like therapy for people who were either struggling with not being able to go to church or struggling with church hurt.” “We wanted people to be comfortable talking about it, dialoguing about it because you don’t find any healing unless you actually address the issues that you’re dealing with,” Lecrae said. He connected with recent Reach Records signee 1K Phew on the issue, and the two put their heads together to invite a conversation about the church through their music. “If it wasn’t the artist themselves, it was someone that they were close to that was struggling in this particular area, which helped us realize, this is not just something that we’re dealing with,” said Lecrae. In conversations with other artists, Lecrae began to realize that a lot of his friends on the scene felt all kinds of ways about the disruption of their faith practices. “So that’s what it’s done for me - it’s just really made my day-to-day actions a lot more sincere.” “I think a lot of times we were so reliant on a Sunday morning that we needed to take some responsibility on our day day-to-day,” he said. Without regular church services, Lecrae described feeling a sense of needing to bring church home. Lecrae, founder of Christian hip-hop label Reach Records, and his signee 1K Phew decided to put their feelings on this issue into a collaborative album, “No Church in a While.” “City Lights” producer Summer Evans spoke with Lecrae about this new album, getting an inside look behind the process and the sentiments that inspired it. Though some congregations managed to move services onto online platforms during lockdown periods, the lack of a space to gather in faith was felt widely - especially by two Atlanta rappers. Since the pandemic, many have noticed a trend in lowered attendance in churches.
