In 2010, Chad Horton, who ran the similar Christian hip hop site "Hip Hop for the Soul" joined Rapzilla. In 2013, the Gospel Music Association organized the Dove Awards and announced a partnership with Rapzilla.[4] In 2017, Rood sold his ownership of Rapzilla to Horton.[5] In 2019, Rapzilla acquired Christian hip hop blog New H2O.[6]
