The other day my friend tried to tell me she was “street.” She said this, because if you’ve met me, you know how hip hop I really am.
That’s just fact, son. (See I put “son” in there just to prove it. Word.)
She told me, “I went to a rap concert. I’ve been to a rap concert!”
“Really?” I said, “Maybe I was wrong, was it fun?”
“Yeah,” she said, “The concert was awesome. At one point the rapper came down to the front row and yelled to me, ‘Jesus is _____?’ And I yelled “Butter!”
At that point I knew she hadn’t been to a rap concert. She had been to a Christian rap concert. And in the past that was a completely different experience. Don’t get me wrong. I loved D-Boy and knew all the words to “Luv is a verb.” But historically, Christian rap has not been the most awesome rap out there.
That’s changing though.
Reach Records is consistently releasing some great Christian rap. Folks like LeCrae are forcing me to let go of my small minded, “too cool for Christian culture” thoughts.
He’s a solid rapper. He has a huge heart for Christ. His albums are great. And now there’s a new one called “Rehab.” You can take a listen to it on iTunes right here. You can hear three of the songs right here.
Instead of a traditional ad, Reach agreed to give out some great stuff to readers of Stuff Christians Like. CDs, vinyl record, t-shirts and hoodies are all up for grabs.
To enter, just answer this question in the comments on SCL by the end of the day Tuesday, October 5th. I’ll randomly pick 3 winners.
Here’s the question:
What is the last song or album you bought?
