    He Carried a Legend's Name... Then Built His Own Legacy | Featuring Lil Prince

    In this episode of Breaking the Silence, I sit down with Lil Prince, award-winning gospel recording artist, founder of Lil Prince & Company, and son of gospel legend DOC McKenzie. Together, we discuss faith, family, ministry, and the responsibility of carrying a musical legacy while building one of his own. Beyond the music, we take a trip down memory lane, remembering when buying a CD was an experience. We talk about opening the case, reading every lyric, studying the album credits, and appreciating the artwork—something many music lovers miss in today's streaming era. It's a nostalgic conversation about how music has changed and what we've gained—and lost—along the way. We also discuss the inspiration behind "It's Going to Get Better" and "Stop By Here," the awards and recognition Lil Prince & Company have received, and why his mission has always been bigger than making music—it's about spreading hope through ministry. In This Episode Growing up as the son of DOC McKenzieBuilding Lil Prince & CompanyThe golden era of CDs and album bookletsHow streaming changed the music industryThe story behind It's Going to Get BetterThe ministry behind the musicAdvice for the next generation of gospel artistsFeatured Songs 🎵 It's Going to Get Better 🎵 Stop By Here I believe this episode will resonate with gospel fans, musicians, and anyone who remembers when music wasn't just heard—it was experienced.

    You Know Her Voice… But Do You Know Her Music? | Incognita – Enjoy the Ride

    Sometimes the people who support your journey have a story and a gift of their own that deserves to be celebrated. On this edition of Unleashed Voices Gospel Edition, I'm doing something a little special. I'm featuring someone who's been part of Breaking the Silence Podcast in more ways than one—Incognita. If you've ever listened to my podcast, you've already heard her voice. She's the voice behind my intro! She's also performed at my events, and over time, she's become someone I genuinely consider family. And y'all know me. When I believe in somebody, I want to see them win. Today, we're taking a musical journey through her six-song EP, Enjoy the Ride. I love that title because it reminds me of something we all deal with. Life doesn't always give us a smooth road. Sometimes we're excited about where we're headed, and other times we're just trying to make it through the day. But even when things don't go according to plan, we've got to keep moving, keep believing, and remember to enjoy the journey. Songs featured: CellyOut of the WayWake UpNo StressingGOATFoundBonus selection: Whole World featuring mariemonroe This episode is about more than playing music. It's about showing love, celebrating talent, and reminding people that independent artists deserve to be heard, too. Whether you're at home, riding down the road, or just need something uplifting to get you through your day, I hope this music brings you a little encouragement. And if something speaks to you, don't keep it to yourself. Share the music and help somebody else discover Incognita.
