Music videos have been around for awhile but it hasn't been until recent years that the christian music industry has started making videos that acutally don't get laughed at.

Crae
 I love the way Lacrae handles this. The "rap battle" has long been a staple of the Rap scene - but Lecrae chooses to handle it a bit differently.  Check it -

 This is one of those jams that I just can't get out of my head.   I love the real drums & guitars used in this tune.  It's a nice change of pace from the "Pro Tools" induced beats of every other hip hop jam.  

Check'em out - here

It's pretty simple - take a Psalm and speak it with a beat flowing.  I love it.

Leaders of the Christian and gospel hip-hop movement are gathering in Minneapolis to sing the praises of their ministry.Stacey Jones expects that at least 500 and perhaps as many as 1,000 people will take part in the conference.

"There's a big need to educate people of the Christian faith about the importance of engaging with the hip-hop culture," he said.

Despite the growth of the movement, there still is a lot of misunderstanding about it within the faith community, he said.

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 14:50:00 -0700 Lecrae: Authentically hip hop and authentically Christian http://thetune.posterous.com/lecrae-authentically-hip-hop-and-authenticall http://thetune.posterous.com/lecrae-authentically-hip-hop-and-authenticall

Lecrae-prayin
In a recent article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Lecrae talks about the perception of Christian Hip-Hop across the music industry.  

Some think because it's Christian-based music, it "must not be good or it's just a bunch of religious propaganda." And church folks, he said, "think this sounds worldly and God is opposed to hip hop. I'm a Christian but it doesn't mean my music has to be sub-par and God owns everything, even hip hop."

Amen to that!  Christian music has been sub-par for years - no matter the genre.  

You can peep the rest of the article - here.

Tedashii

Tedashii is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists out there.  He has a lyrical flow that makes you bounce yo' head while sending praise.

Thisl

This track is powerful.  I'm not sure I've seen a video or heard lyrics like this in awhile. Thi'sl speaks truth about his life and brings out all the emotions in confronting his past.  

You can learn more about Thi'sl here.
