The existence of a Christian oriented hip-hop subgenre being now granted, in the US, it was only a matter of time before someone really talented would emerge from this. Such a guy, actually, does exist. He is coming from Portland, Oregon, his name is Braille, and in 1999, when he was 17 only, he released Lifefirst: Half the Battle, an album that many praised, in the indie scene. This scene being now made, for a large part, of White middle-class boys concerned with hip-hop's respectability, and hostile to its more materialistic tendencies, it just made sense that they would enjoy this more spiritualistic approach to their favorite music.
