Christian Rap (and Hip-hop) Is A Lost Cause

Sometimes I think this blog site could literally double, triple, or more in readership, if only I would do one thing: support and promote Christian, “reformed” rap/hip-Hop music and its artists. Maybe not, but maybe. Nah. I can’t do that because there’s something preventing me from doing so, the Bible. The pressure to do so […]

‘Heresy’ by Javon Mackenzy

I hesitated to post this, for a number of reasons. 1) Honestly, I can’t stand rap music, I can rarely understand what’s being said. Guess I’m older than I realized.
