Christian Rap Music / Christian Hip Hop / Gospel Rap

Christian rap music, or hip hop (originally gospel rap) is a form of hip hop music which uses Christian lyrical themes to express the artist's faith. The term "Christian hip hop" became descriptive of this kind of music in the 1990s.

The audience is typically young, urban, and Christian, but this music is also used in missions for the purpose of evangelization. Christian rap and hip hop artists are professed Christians in most cases, and use the fact that they are urban or suburban as a positive issue used to spread their religion, and like all Christian music, it can be experienced as Christian worship.
