Top Three Christian Rappers

  I completely understand if you rolled your eyes so quickly after reading the title that your eyes are stuck staring at the inside of your skull. Navigating religious music in general is a difficult thing. Almost two-thirds of the Christian music you find just chants: "JESUS! JESUS! WE LOVE JESUS!" Without much substance. (If you're looking for reformed theology in your rap, Beautiful Eulogy is your best bet) There are artists that deserve your time even if you don't agree with their views. Anyway, let's get going.


   THREE: SWOOPE

Swoope released an acclaimed (in the Christian community) album with "Wake Up" which I found overrated. I was left wondering what people saw in him, but then he released "Sinema" this year, one of my most listened to albums. Swoope brings mad lyrics to the table. In fact, these three all deliver great lyrics. LISTEN TO: "Before Goodnight"http://youtu.be/1Hf4BvKJOgs

  TWO: THE REP

Brandon Kagel, a.k.a. The Rep, is the most underrated rapper I've seen. Even in the Christian community. When he is on, he can stand toe to toe with anyone in the game. He released the best Christian hip-hop album -screw it, one of the best albums of this year Yet I can't find any review online. LISTEN TO: "Alcoholic",http://youtu.be/7JJ-GeKrqZk  "Murder", http://youtu.be/uc_GirO2L_o "'Till It's Over", http://youtu.be/O2TUZ4Hp2oU "Prison in my Head"http://youtu.be/u0pNCLlPfg4 "Imagine It", http://youtu.be/LysUVROa9S4

  ONE: GEMSTONES

Gemstones hasn't released a full album yet. He's released numerous mixtapes, both before and after his conversion. All of them are excellent. This man has lyrics on lyrics on lyrics, and the best pipes in the game. LISTEN TO: "Fire in my Heart",http://youtu.be/Dq_EjCU2eB4 "Circles",http://youtu.be/yrsYIxsT_OU "My Hood", http://youtu.be/djf1mTkKCbI "God is my Rock",http://youtu.be/40bs0SHATgk "Round and Round", "Don't Like",http://youtu.be/AUirubRe7aQ really, just anything. Especially from  and post "Elephant in the Room."

  I hope you found a new artist you liked from this list. I'll be releasing a Best Albums and Songs of 2014 later this month, so keep your eye out for it.
