Wilmington, Delaware — With its mix of hip-hop superstars like Lecrae, KB, Angie Rose, Jor’dan Armstrong and Steven Malcolm, plus empowering conversations that speak to the African American experience, SiriusXM Channel 154 (Holy Culture Radio) is a full-time edutainment channel.
And in honor of National Hip-Hop History Month (November), HCR is celebrating each decade of Christian hip-hop, beginning with the ’80s.
“Through the rest of the year, across our shows, you’ll be reminded about our pioneers and foundational voices, from Stephen Wiley, Michael Peace, and Preachas in Disguise to The Cross Movement, The Gospel Gangstaz and Grits, to Da’ T.R.U.T.H. (now Emanuel), Th’isl, and Lil Raskull, to Lecrae, Derek Minor, KB and Bizzle to today’s resounding leading voices,” said James Rosseau, founder of the nonprofit organization that operates HCR.
