Recommended Posts

Some time ago I tryed to find songs which contains rap & gospel (I don't finded anything really interesing).

I mean I founded some songs like Public Enemy - What You Need Is Jesus (from "He Got Game" soundtrack), but I want more church choirs in refren.

I met this site:

http://www.holyhiphop.com/

I remeber some tracks from Holy HH artists like

Lil Zane, T-Bone, & Montel Jordan - To Da River.

and one song (but I don't remeber the title of this:( ) it has nice refren:

"Let the problems gone cause we gonna party tonight,

celebrating the goodnes ot the Lord Jesus Christ....." (It was really good song)

I have got some questions.

1. Do you heard something about this?

2. What you think about this?

3. Do you know some rap songs/bands rapping with gospel in refren?

4. Can you recommending me some gospel/soul/r'n'b artists?

I know some because I had made my own lil compilation titled "Gospel 4 Da Ghetto Vol. 1". I had some that probably don't directly fit what your doing, but ones I do are..

Why Can't The Homies Hear Me - Gospel Gangstaz

No Time to Rest - Prime Minister

Who Do U Believe In? - 2pac

God - Reverend Run (*it was one of Pac's poems he read*)

Why The Good Die Young - 2pac + Outlaws

and Winged Out - FuQ (but it's not top notch like most of my stuff is now)

top dawg should be able to help you with that list..

Damian,

There are a bunch of rappers taking the Gospel to the streets. There's Cross Movement, KJ-52, Da T.R.U.T.H., Lecrae, and New Breed to name a few. In fact there are 3 superb albums from HHH artists this year alone. Check out the following albums from these artists:

Phanatik - The Incredible Walk

The Ambassador - The Thesis

KJ-52 - Behind The Musik(A Boy Named Jonah)

You can also check out these websites:

Cross Movement Records

KJ-52

Holy Culture Radio

I made a whole mix of twenty songs that were very spiritual out of the hundred of Hip Hop cds I have. They all had little-to-no cursing. My younger sister loved it, and she's not a fan of Hip Hop at all! I will post up those tracks on here once I get a hold of the disc.

Here were a few from it:

KRS-One- Higher Level

Rakim- The Mystery

Killah Priest- Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth

Zion I- One Chance

Public Enemy- What You Need Is Jesus

Brand Nubian- Allah & Justice

to be continued...

Hey, you mean rappers from Holy HH, right? But If you mentioned all type of todays rappers, yes I know what you mean.

You writed many titles, thanks people, I will check them. I suspect that they haven't church choirs in refrens (that what I'm looking for:), you know, flow with happy "clapping" choir, like in song Micah Stampley - Sign:)), but ok. I can give you example of what I'm searching for. I downloaded song from film called "Sister Act 2". Maybe you watched it. In final scene, when they won they sang song. I'm looking songs like this:

"gospel Sister Act 2 Lauryn Hill - Joyful, Joyful.mp3" (name of downloaded song). (you can chear rappin guys nad nice choir)!

I'm glad that you are trying to help me. But what you think about this whole Holy HH? I think that it's rather positive thing. Also if someone know answer at my 4th question can write reply.

My sister know one priest & he gives me 1 cd containing HH + Gospel. It's called:

"Kirk Franklin - The Nu Natin Project". I shortly listened what it is, so I can't tell something more about this, but it looks like someone is rappin and gospel choir singing like hh choir:)

If you have a free time, check it!
