My Top 5 Favorite Christian Hip-Hop Albums of All Time

1.Rhema Soul – Red
This is my favorite Christian Rap album out because I feel its lyrics, flow, production, and arrangement is off the charts. Rhema Soul stays Hip-Hop but effectively mixes Rock, pop and other genres in the project. The collaborations are with heavy hitters like This’l, Shonlock, Benjah, Jai, and Ryan Stevenson. I am a huge fan of this group and feel this is their best work thus far. 

Favorite Song:

2.T-Bone – The Last Street Preacha
This album is a classic. T-Bone is a pioneer of Christian Hip-Hop. This album was Grammy nominated and has some of the most respected tracks in Hip-Hop. This is off the chain and was very relevant for the time. The sound is outdated now but you got to respect the work of the legends. 

Favorite Song:

3.The Ambassador – The Thesis
This record is a lyrical master piece. It proves that The Ambassador is one of the greatest lyricists ever. You got to give honor where honor is due and so I got to say the Ambassador is nice with it. This album like “The Last Street Preacha” has a sound that kind of went off the radar but regardless of that fact both albums display a rapper executing the technical aspects of rapping at a genius level. 

Favorite Song:

4. Da T.R.U.T.H  - The Whole Truth
Da T.R.U.T.H is one of my all-time favorites. He combined being a legitimate emcee with commercial instrumentals. Not many can do this effectively but Da T.R.U.T.H pulled it off. If you know me, you know that I love the world of underground Hip-Hop and commercial Hip-Hop. Da T.R.U.T.H brought both worlds together. This is an album you must get.

Favorite Song:


5. Lecrae – Church Clothes
This is one of my favorite albums for two main reasons. Lecrae is one of my favorite artists and this is his most significant record. This brought Christian Hip-Hop to a mainstream audience like no other album. With production by Producers like Boi-1da and 9th Wonder you know it was sonically on point. Greatness is what you will hear if you spin “Church Clothes”.
