Considering it's your first post (and because we hate scaring away newbies) I'm going to be lenient and just move your thread. As Sunako said, in the future please use the Jam Session for all music related threads, ok?

Kanye West is definitely NOT Christian....Mase is kinda Christian.....he focuses more on himself though....

I've got a few Christian rap / hip hop CDs:
John Reuben "Are We There Yet?"
KJ-52 "It's Pronounced 'Five Two'"
New Breed "Nine"

I've spun KJ's new E-card and the tracks sound pretty dope so I might add "Behind the Musik" to my to-buy list.

One of the tricky things for me in choosing Christian hip hop (I don't get non-Christian stuff) is finding stuff that focuses on Christ instead of on the artist and that speaks of God in respectful manner. E.g. I like the style of LA Symph and Ill Harmonics but I find them a bit lacking in solid content. But I'm always on the listen for some new stuff for my collection.

Verbs (FKA Knowdaverbs) is an awesome one, Lil' Raskull, Preachers In the Hood, just about anyone on Grapetree Records, KJ-52, all good stuff.

Tool around Soundclick and purevolume and there are numerous Christian rappers, but check them out first before going too nuts.

I'm not a fan of rap but I do know quite a bit of different christian rap artists (older brother a big christian rap fan.) Some pretty good ones are, Sup The Chemist, Pigeon John, Rhymes Monumental, MVP (He's a nice guy!)...Yeah if you are into christian rap you need to check out the label "Grapetree" it is the biggest christian rap label out there.

Matt Kearney is rap? :eyebrow:

Oh, I got KJ52's "Behind the Musik" album. I love it. But I love all his stuff. He's prolly my all-time fav.

I'm not a big fan of rap, but i like the song "Where is the love?" by black eyed peas ^^ I guess thatd be considered a christian rap song.

I'll echo the "I'm not a big fan of rap" sentiment. I don't even like much Christian rap (mainly because what I've heard of it on the radio has seemed of substandard quality). I've noticed that some religious orders are reaching out to people through rap though. The Franciscan Friars of the renewal in the Bronx do evangelization with rap. Some of my friends in the Carmelites have written some rap songs that I thought were just excellent. Even the I'm not a rap fan, I love the OCD (Order of Carmelites Discalced[shoeless]) beats.
