What is Christian Rap?
Question: What is Christian Rap?
Answer: Christian Rap has many names -- Holy Hip Hop, Gospel Rap, Gospel Hip Hop and even Christ Hop -- but regardless of what name you call it, the basics are the same. Christian rappers use their music to share their faith and to reach places that other styles could never enter. Unlike secular/mainstream rap, which frequently glorifies sex, drinking, violence and drugs, Christian Rap focuses on The One who can deliver you from all of those things.
