History

Philip Rood aka DJ Zilla, who lives in Brussels, Belgium is the man behind Rapzilla.com. [ [http://www.hhhdb.com/index.php?id=412 Holy Hip Hop Database] ] He started working on Rapzilla.com in March 2003 when he was only 15 years old [ [http://www.urbanweblink.com/apps/articles/web/articleid/14924/columnid/1171/default.asp Urban Web Link Interview with Philip Rood] ] , and launched the site in September 2003. He wanted to bring more diversity on the internet, since only two sites were online (Sphereofhiphop.com and the HipHopZone forum in 2003). Besides the re-design of Rapzilla.com in November 2006 Philip came up with a new version of the Holy Hip Hop Toolbar in April 2007. The first version dates from 2005. [ [http://www.hhhdb.com/index.php?id=412 Holy Hip Hop Database] ]

In 2005 the first compilation was released "Rapzilla : the compilation volume 1." The album was a free download at the site Rapzilla.com. You can get it today on soundclick.com [ [http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=197253 Compilation downloadable at Soundclick] ] , volume 2 never saw the light of the day, due to DJ mixing problems.

Starting end of 2007, CCM Magazine has started to use Rapzilla's news to cover Christian Hip Hop on their website. [ [http://www.ccmmagazine.com/news/headlines/ CCM Magazine] ]
