A Prayer 4 Hip Hop Concert Series

Although Hip Hop music is pervasive across the airwaves, Gospel Rap gets little to no radio airplay. Despite the lack of mainstream attention, this powerful and life transforming art form has attracted a large and loyal underground following.

“It is important for us to show the world that the Hip Hop culture is vast and that there are many artists that love Hip Hop and are dedicated to positively impacting the lives of their audience,” says Gospel Rapper J.A.Z. He grew up in the same streets as many of today’s most well known rappers in Harlem, NY. Although his experiences and surroundings were very similar to those artists, he was fortunate enough to find a way out of the turmoil through his relationship with God. J.A.Z., like most mainstream rappers, writes about his real life experiences, only in J.A.Z.’s case the ending is different. The choices he makes in his life greatly influence his audience who are struggling with the same crossroads that he faces. “It comes down to what you decide is cool and what you think is corny. I think that guns, sex and drugs are corny and that being a righteous person is cool. Once our kids know that it is cool to be a righteous person their lives will change.”

“A Prayer 4 Hip Hop” seeks to deliver a new message to Hip Hop fans through this concert tour. For all Hip Hop fans seeking an alternative, this tour is a must see.
