I Luh God

"I Luh God" is a song by American gospel singer Erica Campbell of Mary Mary. The song also features American gospel rapper Big Shizz, who is uncredited. It is a single from her album Help 2.0. The music video was released on her YouTube channel on June 12, 2015^[1] and on her Vevo account on June 16, 2015.^[2] The song is considered to be an example of "Trap Gospel", as it has a drum machine, bass, and a rap tone in Campbell's voice. The song has been controversial, with many people on YouTube commenting on the video comparing it to a Juicy J or 2 Chainz song.

"They're used to (me) very pulled up and polished and singing 'Yesterday' and 'Help.' But, I just wanted to have fun, declare my love for God and at the same time reach an audience that I think the gospel community sometimes ignores," Campbell told CNikky.com. "There is Christian hip-hop but I feel that more Caucasian children gravitate to it. So, I figured, you're my people so, let me get with my folks!" The song topped the Billboard Gospel chart, and the video has over two million views on her YouTube account.
