Mainstream Hip-Hop Is Teaching Children to ‘Hate Jesus,’ Christian Rapper KB Says

Award-winning Christian hip-hop artist Kevin “KB” Burgess is urging the church community to set aside cultural differences and to embrace Christian rap, asserting that mainstream hip-hop is teaching teens and children to “hate Jesus.” A three-time Dove Award winner, KB is the author of the new book Dangerous Jesus (Tyndale), where he tackles such issues as race and politics and encourages Christians to follow the “Christianity of Christ” and not the “Christianity of the land.” He and other popular Christian hip-hop (CHH) artists, including Lecrae, have been rejected by some corners of conservatism in recent years due to their stances on issues of race.
