Purpose

"Christian rappers use their music to share their faith and to reach places that other styles could never enter. Unlike secular/mainstream rap, which frequently talks sex, drinking, violence and drugs, Christian Rap focuses on The One who can deliver you from all of those things. The one who can save you and help you grow from these really dark places. Hip Hop believes that people can take control of their lives through self-knowledge and self-expression. Knowledge influences style and technique and connects its artists under a collective Hip Hop umbrella. For decades hip-hop has spoken truth to power and challenge the status-quo. Protest and resistance have been common elements of the music, evoking the fight for racial equality and communicating anger at socio-economic conditions that shaped the lives of many Black people."
