Catholic Hip-Hop
Catholic, General July 27th, 2006This isn’t something a person comes across everyday, but I found my way to the website of Akalyte, who is not only a Catholic hip-hop artist, but actually sings/raps about Catholic themes. Granted, hip-hop/rap is probably one of my least favorite musical styles, but I do greatly admire what he’s doing, especially since lots of young people are into rap. Anything that may help people get more deeply into their Catholic Faith is positive. Plus, I do like the samples I’ve listened to. He’s into Latin and the authentic tradition of the Church too. And, no, he doesn’t want hip hop in the mass, for those who may wonder. He shares a bit about of his own personal story in the comments on Dr. Blosser’s blog. (hat tip to Dr. Blosser, as well).

Have you seen the hip hop prayerbook? It is painful.
