What is Gospel Rap?

Gospel music has been increasing in popularity for quite some time. Christian music has a wide range and reaches many people. There are many subgenres of Christian music, including Gospel music and Christian hip hop. There was a time when Christian hip hop was once referred to as Gospel rap or Christian rap. This type of music is defined as rap that aims to evangelize mission work, teach members of a Church, or for entertainment purposes.

There is some debate as to when this type of music first made its appearance. Some believe this music was first introduced around the early 1990s and was called Holy hip hop. Others believe it was in 1985 with the release of an album called Bible Break. Finally, there are others that say that hip hop always had a touch of Christianity to it, with many references to Christian themes. Since there has always been a presence of Christianity in hip hop, it made it easier for a subgenre of this New Gospel Music to grow in popularity. This introduction of this subgenre of music gives rappers the ability to share their faith through their music. The movement of this type of music has spread throughout many countries, including the US.
