Reformed Hip-Hop?!?!
A couple years ago I came across some Reformed Rappers. And I got to tell you - these guys are solid! Even if you don't like this type of genre, the lyrics will bless you. I don't know if you have listened to Christian radio lately, but it's 1) boring and 2) theologically and bibically weak. I mean, enough with the prosperity message and packaging the Gospel as "Christianity light". That's not what you're going to get with these Reformed Rappers. You can probably hear more solid theology in one song than you can in watching hours of TBN. Some of these guys have: interned under Pastor Mark Dever of Capitol Hill Baptist Church, sit under the teaching of Pastor Eric Mason of Epiphany Fellowship; study theology at solid Bible colleges; taken the ideas from John Piper's book and sermon "Don't Waste Your Life" and have gone on tour with that message; produced a whole album dedicated to the "9 Marks" of a healthy church; and perform at churches of well-known pastors that us "reformed guys" respect and trust. These guys are a reflection of a group of Christians that want to get back to what true biblical Christianity looks like. We are tired of watered-down messages that tell us, "if we let Jesus in our heart He will make life all better for us". That's not the Gospel! However, it's very clear that this group of young guys know what the Gospel is and they present it poetically to some hip beats. Hope you enjoy the 7 videos I posted.
