Rap and Hip-Hop and R&B Artists
Carolyn sent me an email request…her husband is in the US military, and serving in Iraq. He’s into hip-hop and rap and R&B, but isn’t familiar with Christian artists making that kind of music.
I’m not a big hip-hop fan myself, but I know that a lot of folks are. I’ve tried to add a lot of urban artists to CCM Links…and I need some help. Below are the links I sent to Carolyn to help her husband find some great, God-honoring music with thump. If your favorite artist isn’t listed, please leave a comment with their link. I’ll make sure Carolyn gets them.
If they’re not listed on CCM Links, I will (of course) add them to the Artist Pages.
Thanks!

Wow…LeCrae really IS good!
I followed a link to Reach Records, LeCrae’s label…and they have an album that puts an overview of Paul’s New Testament letters to music. I’m really impressed. I’m hoping to find some free downloads from their artists to put on the blog.
Thanks for reading, Nick!

It’s good to hear from you again!
You’re right…Group 1 Crew is well worth the time. They’re going to be on tour with Superchic[k] this year, so chances are good that they’ll be blowing up soon.
Keep in touch!

Group 1 Crew and Superchic[k] in concert together? I’ll need to check out that tour schedule. That sounds like a great show. Thanks for the tip MusicMan!
