welcome everyone to a new top ten Christian rappers of 2017 video this is
heavily based on my style preference but let's get into it. *Andy Mineo/Wordsplayed - Kidz plays*
*Lawren - As You Pass Go Plays*
I put Lawren at number 10 for two reasons
his quality and his message he's got really cool lyrical style but he doesn't
overdo it just to show off his lyrical ability and he's also got a solid
Christian message to his music and just overall he's a great upcoming artist my
favorite songs from him are, as you pass go, Slums *Plays*
*Lawren - Slums Ft. WHATUPRG, Ty Brasel*
and Last day
*Lawren - Last Day*
*Derek Minor - Until Im Gone*
so all time I probably would have put Derek minor a
bit higher but he's still putting out great music he's had a lot of success
in mainstream Christian music with songs like change the world and he also has a
new project coming soon and since it hasn't come out yet and this is the 2017
list I can't judge him fully yet for that overall he's a great model for the
upcoming Christian hip-hop artist and he deserves to be in the top ten
*Kaleb Mitchell - Bruce Wayne*
now I think Kaleb Mitchell
deserves to be much higher on the list he's got incredible skill and production
but he often comes off as braggy to some people and his music doesn't
contain as many Christian elements as others on this list with also having
swearing in one of his latest songs from a featured artist but with his
incredible lyrical ability and rise as an upcoming artist I had to put him on
this list but my favorite song off his latest project is 'role model part II'
*Kaleb Mitchell - Role Model Pt. 2*
the social club misfits have been a
staple in Christian hip-hop for a while now and bring an unique style to it their
latest project called the misadventures of Fern and Marty was really really good
pretty much the epitome of what they are as a duo but they're set to come out with
a new project that they've been hyping up and it's said to bring a new style to
CHH go and check out the video that on that if you want more insight into that
but they definitely deserve to be in the top ten they also have great individual
projects Marty for president and ferns 68 and Douglas you definitely go check
these guys out they're a great duo
*Mogli The Iceburg - Devil In My DM*
Mogli the
iceberg an interesting name but he's got a great honesty about him and has great
God based music he also has the best features in the game including on cue on
the song Ghost, *Mogli The Iceburg - Ghost ft OnCue Plays*
*Mogli The Iceburg - Ride My Own ft WHATUPRG*
and reconcile on
put my life on this *Mogli The Iceburg - Put My life On This ft Reconcile Plays*
but also
individually he delivers his music really really well and he's a great
upcoming artist off of Indie tribe who deserves to be on this list
*Ty Brasel - Backyard*
so at number five we have Ty Brasel my current favorite
Christian hip-hop artist just came out with a new project called young t
this guy doesn't come out with wack songs even some of his older songs like
novocaine or Alia off his old EP 1994 until hes just got a great unique sound
and voice which really makes him stand out in Christian hip-hop now the reason
he's not higher is one some of the other guys higher up the list havent
come out with music yet this year and I'm anticipating on them having
really high quality stuff but also Ty Brasel hasn't been around as long and
doesn't have as much of a catalog but he makes great music my favorite songs from
him are backyard, gold soul, *Ty Brasel - Gold Soul*
light up the city it's got a
real classic vibe to it *Ty Brasel - Light Up The City*
and play the song vibes *Ty Brasel - Play This Song Vibes*
and just overall he's just a great artist definitely go and check him
and I'll leave the links for him in the description
*KB - Smith & Wesson ft Ty Brasel*
so number four we have KB now he
hasn't come out with a project this year but he does have one coming and I
anticipate it to be very good now he has released a song this year called Smith
& Wesson featuring ty brasel this was a free single so the production wasn't as
good but it was still quite a hit in Christian hip-hop I like the style that
he's bringing with the auto-tune and also In his concert previews as well
looks very exciting for Christian hip-hop I'd probably be in the top five
In Christian hip-hop albums this year when it comes out that's my assumption I
could be wrong though this could change but KB's a great artist I've talked
about him before his last project tomorrow we live was really good his
tempo single was alright it's been a while since he's come out but he's set
to come out with some new singles hopefully before he releases this album
so we'll be able to see over the next few months whether he lives up to this
spot or not
*Andy Mineo/Wordsplayed - Kidz*
so this is where it gets a bit difficult I kept switching these
top three guys around quite a few times I had Andy Mineo at number one NF at
number two NF number one Lecrae and number two and I've settled at Andy Mineo
at number three now this magic and bird mixtape is probably going to be one of
my favorite projects of the year because of the style it has and I don't see NF
and Lecrae having as many songs as those but then also Lecrae and NF
have a lot more meaning to their songs and I know Andy Mineo does have those
songs as well but that's supposed to come In his project that might come out
at the end of this year though so a lot of it's speculation but the singles he
has come out with so far would put them above NF and Lecrae since
NF hasn't come out with any singles this year and Lecrae I haven't liked his
singles as much but my favorite songs from this year are dunk contest and kidz
*NF - Warm Up*
so before you NF Fans get mad at
me NF hasn't come out with a new single yet so I can't judge him for
that but overall even though I have criticized him for some of his more
hype song because they do some lines might be a bit braggy or be taken that
way but overall I've gotten a lot out of NF songs a lot of healing out of areas of
my life my favorite songs from him are notepad
*NF - Notepad*
and statement
*NF - Statement*
and his last project therapy
session was just overall really really good definitely go and check it out he
should be having some new singles coming out soon so that's very exciting but he
definitely deserves to be at the number two spot
*Lecrae - Hammer Time Ft. 1k Phew* know at number one we have Lecrae the
face of Christian hip-hop even though he doesn't want to be he still is in my
opinion but he's put out some pretty good singles so far this year blessings
I'll find you hammer time but I'm more looking forward to the singles that he's
previewed at concerts like broke and never going to change go and check out
my video if you want some more insight on that before it comes out but overall
Lecrae has been my most listened artist he's definitely got very high production
even though he's a Christian who raps I still put him on this list I mean NF
and maybe Andy Mineo are like that as well have that same kind
of philosophy but I think he deserves to be in the top three and the quality that
he's putting out I just have to reward him for that so that was my top ten
artists of 2017 obviously some of that had to do with songs that have been put
out some people haven't come out with albums this year a lot of it is opinion
honestly but let me know your guys top ten I know the comments get pretty
heated on videos like this so please please keep the comments tame if you
