    The today show and good morning america tend to have segments relating to Christianity on various occasions. I feel some of the hosts or producers want to put the spotlight on the positivity that’s out there and not just on all the negative drama that is common everywhere.
    Besides lecrae and his reach records, bizzle and the god over money crew are amazing.

      "Hip-Hop is B00ty Shaking. Christian/Holy Hip-Hop is ???" (G. Craige, ExMinistries) - There's a difference between hip hop and rap but most christian rappers don't want to let go of the cultural side of the hip hop persona and just rap.

    Once in a blue, CHH gets a small spot light on the secular platforms/networks. Which is good to introduce the genre to new audiences. But the world much prefers the corrupt hip hop these record companies make sure stays on heavy rotation. Ever since CHH came into my life in early 2k, my life changed for the good and I ain't turning back. For those interested, check out Reach Records roster and artists like Da Truth, Flame, NF, Shai Linne, Hazakim, Bizzle, Dee1, etc...

    Have you ever read the lyrics on normal hip hop/rap songs? They are instruction manuals on sin that infect your mind, influence your desires, direct your actions, and eventually change your culture. Music is a powerful tool to influence culture, which can be used for good or evil purposes.
