Learning About Christian Hip Hop Artists

By Joni Levy


You will find that when people are talking about Christian hip hop artists, for many years there they were not exactly talking very nicely. There have been a lot of disappointments as the rap genre for spreading the Gospel has found its footing. These days, you will find that some of the most impressive musicians are featured in this genre.

There are a number of names that you should know, and this article will give you the gateway to getting to know more about these artists. Through the upcoming paragraphs you will get introduced to likely the three most popular Christ-centered hip-hop acts as well as some up and coming musicians that you might want to check out before too much word gets out.

Giving back a serious edge and impressive delivery, you are going to see that right now the Christ-centered rappers are headed up by one man: Lecrae. He has several albums out right now, perhaps the most popular of these being After The Music Stops and Rebel. He has broken through some tough lines with popular tracks like 'Jesus Muzik', 'Take Me As I Am' and 'Prayin For You'.

You will find that gospel music is one that has allowed musicians to express themselves over many genres. Such is the case with Toby Mac, who started out being part of the global phenomenon DC Talk as one of lead men. Since the group has gone their separate ways, Toby has set his sights on the rap genre offering his unique spin on hip-hop. With supercharged anthems, Toby is able to fuse together rock, funk, pop and big bass into one undeniably addictive sound.

Another popular rapper that has been turning a lot of heads and making quite a bit of noise in the genre would be KJ-52. This is a rapper that consequently sounds a lot like the secular hip-hop powerhouse Eminem, and has a delivery that could easily rival the great white rapper as well. KJ has released many albums, but none reached quite the popularity with the general public as the two tracks trying to specifically reach out to Eminem: 'Dear Slim' and 'Dear Slim Part 2'.

There are a few different rappers that are just biding their time before they blow up in the genre. You will find that if you are looking for those that can cross genres and lay some tasty hip hop jams over acoustic backgrounds, you might check out Bought Records' Benjamin Gilbert or Gotee Records' John Reuben. Another Gotee artist to check out would be B Reith, as he has an impressive debut album with raw rap verses and catchy choruses that will have you wearing out the disc.

These are just a few items that people should consider if they want to know about Christian hip hop artists. If you were curious about which musicians need to be on your rotation, and you are a believer and a rap fan, these are a few must haves for your player.
