Question: What is Gospel Rap music?

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

Some of the more popular emcees of today are:

    John Reuben
    T-Bone
    TobyMac
    KJ-52
