    Christian rap began around the same time that mainstream hip-hop started making waves, yet it’s sometimes difficult to trace the timeline back to the pioneers of the genre. 1990 was a monumental year for a few legendary Christian hip-hop artists. It’s crazy to think that all of this happened 30 years ago. D-Boy – The Lyrical Strength Of One Street ...

    “I gotta something for you man…” were the words whispered by TobyMac before Jesus Freak by DC Talk exploded onto speakers everywhere in 1995. Christian rap’s biggest hip-hop act at the time would turn heads and drop jaws as they would forgo their pop-infused, sample-heavy hip-hop sounds with crunching, bellowing vocals, and heavy drums. Perhaps taking their cue from Nirvana, Jesus Freak ...

    Christian Rap has changed so much since 1995, but I feel like it was in that year that a lot of Christian Rap really started finding their stride. Looking back, this was a pretty big year for CHH. Look below at the most notable releases. T-Bone: Tha Life Of A Hoodlum Even though he had a dope single under his ...

    Some of you might be asking, “What and who are DC Talk?” Well, the trio of TobyMac, Michael Tait, and Kevin Max helped lay the roots of Christian hip-hop when they exploded on the scene with their 1989 self-titled album. From there, they experienced perhaps the biggest run in Christian music history until they went on an “intermission” in 2000. ...

The pioneer of Christian music explains his original emcee name and how he and Michael Tait “schemed” churches into playing hip-hop. “Very few people know this story,” said TobyMac.

    From the humble beginnings of Stephen Wiley, on to P.I.D., and D-Boy, Christian hip-hop started in the 80s as this tiny niche. No one back then could have imagined the lengths the genre would go roughly 35 years later. This slow build turned from a not accepted in the church unknown, to a mainstream crossing viable force in music. This ...

Much like Jesus, the same streets he roamed saving souls, also became the same streets that took his life. Danny’s family which includes fellow artist M.C. GeGee ...
