History

Rapzilla was created in 2003 by Philip Rood, a fifteen-year-old missionary child living in Belgium.[1][2] 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.[2] 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.[3] Also, any albums that rate lower than 3 or 3.5 are usually not reviewed unless they are highly popular.[3]
