My boys really like Lecrae. His theology is sound, but we do have to censor some of his songs for mature themes. I prefer Voice: YouTube - Heidelberg Catechism Song ~ Curtis 'Voice' Allen ft C.J.Mahaney (forward to 1:00)

His songs about turning away from drugs and sex?

 

[Bethel]

Yes, he's not explicit or vulgar, but he did live a rough life. There are only a couple of songs (from 2 or 3 CDs) that my husband didn't allow my son to download to his iPod Touch.

Certainly do, how about Shai Linne? YouTube - Gospel music by Shai Linne, 116 Clique (Romans)
Love this on the book of Romans.

La Rae and shai linne are nice. Didn't think there would ever be a reform rap thread ! Lol nice

 

[AThornquist]

There have been a number of reformed rap threads on the PB. Yes, I love Lecrae, Shai Linne, Trip Lee, Timothy Brindle, etc. Good guys, solid theology, and great music production.

I've always enjoyed Shai Linne's Atonement Q&A

I am not much for rap, but my youngest son (20) listens to a few y"all have mentioned.

It's not the rap what is being focused on in Christian rap, but the message. Rap is just a secondary way of preaching. And I think it can be very helpful. The message is easy to memorize because it is in a form of a song and it has rhymes. It's a bit like Puritan prayers in that sense.

Shai Linne is a puritanboard fav...I am a big fan of Timothy Brindle as well

What timing...my neighbor across the street just let me hear Lacrae for the first time yesterday. His kids listen to him and he was excited about his reformed views and really solid lyrics w/lots of Scripture. I'm not really into rap anymore like I was when I was a teenager, but I thought it was cool that there was quality stuff like this by reformed artists. Pretty cool.

Lecrae will actually be in my area not too long from now for a special summer event put on by R.U.S.H. ministries. The ministry to my knowledge isn't Calvinistic or Reformed,so I must say I'm surprised he was invited to come,but thankful as well as at least the youth and their parents will get something solid that weekend.

Oh yeah, I like Lecrae's albums, but I like Tedashii and Trip Lee's albums more. The albums "Kingdom People" and "If They Only Knew" are easily the two best Christian Hip Hop albums I've had the privilege to listened to. Check these links to few favs
