lotsa songs with gospel choir hooks/elements out there but not necessarily christian in message.

goodie mob basically invented this shit but also gave us cee-lo's second (and execrable) solo artist phase (first one is basically fine) so you win some you lose some yanno

bone bone bone bone, bone, bone

fave tracks: "BOP'In (Bringing Our Praise In)" and "Don't Test My Christ"

not sure if y'all are just looking for mainstream rap with gospel choirs but here's some more underground jesus shit from Memphis

Yes, Nicki Minaj finds herself battling for the top of the Billboard Hot 200 with her new album, “Queen.” But she’s also on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs chart, along with the likes of Charlie Wilson, T.I., Timbaland and Snoop Dogg....The elements once considered emblematic of the sanctuary’s uptight conventions — choirs, organs, meditative lyrics — are now powerful instruments of rap and R&B; meanwhile, trap drums and glossy production have infiltrated gospel.

...The top spot on the Hot Gospel Songs chart, Koryn Hawthorne’s “Won’t He Do It,” sounds like pristine pop music. The choral “oohs” on the introduction, thudding bass and plodding piano built into the production owe more to the way hip-hop reimagines gospel than to traditional gospel arrangements.

...Elsewhere on the chart, Anthony G. Brown & group therAPy’s “I Got That” opens with chopped-and-screwed style declarations of “everywhere I go, I take my Jesus with me” before a piano-driven, rap-ready beat drops in. ...the Atlanta-based rapper upped the ante with his ninth album “Let The Trap Say Amen,” a collaboration with Zaytoven, a key trap music architect well known for his work with Gucci Mane. Zaytoven’s signature sound is informed largely by organs (he, too, was raised in the church), and Lecrae slots in nicely over the holy keys and thunderous 808s.

new kanye is p good imho
