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.
This article cannot have a better place to begin than with the mentioning of likely the best in Christ-centered hip-hop music right now: Lecrae. This is the man who has likely given a good deal of credibility back to the genre and brought it back from its dark days to rival secular rap music. He has numerous albums, but perhaps his most popular have been After the Music Stops and Rebel. Key tracks to check out from Lecrae would be 'Jesus Muzik', 'Take Me As I Am' and 'Prayin For You'.
Perhaps you will find that there are a couple of artists that have been able to walk across genre lines to find several places where they fit in. A great example of this would be Toby Mac, who reached his initial popularity and stardom through being a frontman in DC Talk. After this, he proceeded to pursue rapping and fused a unique mix of funk, rock, big bass with power anthems that had people addicted to the latest singles. He is also the owner and operator of Gotee Records.
While the most popularity in the secular genre that this next artist has seen is a short stint on the top ten lists of MTV, KJ-52 has accomplished a lot more in his career than simply being mistaken for Eminem. He has an impressive delivery, speed, writing ability and more that have made him quite a hot commodity in the religious rap scene. Apart from his secular one hit wonder, 'Dear Slim', KJ-52 has released many albums with many popular tracks such as 'Plain White Rapper', 'Video Games' and 'Five Tweezy'.
Now there are a few artists that are just about to really break loose in the genre. You would do well to learn about these artists now so that you can check them out before they reach superstar status. Gotee Records, a company owned and operated by Toby Mac has pushed out a couple unique hip-hop acts in B Reith and John Reuben. B Reith has a unique approach in fusing carefully crafted rap verses over hook choruses that are hard to get out of your head. John Reuben might not always do hip hop, but what he does, he does over acoustic tracks like Benjamin Gilbert of Bought Records does.
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.
