Christian Hip Hop or Christian Rap is a subgenre of Hip hop music and Contemporary Christian Music that incorporates positive, biblical, Christian messages into rap songs. Some Christian Hip Hop is aimed towards Christian youth, while some is created for the purpose of evangelism. Some Christian rappers see themselves as ministers and preachers, while some act as rappers who are Christian and who deliver positive messages. Much criticism has been directed to Christian Hip Hop, saying that it is not as "raw", "authentic", or "urban" as secular rap, and is very pop-influenced. Christian hip-hoppers such as Pettidee and Lecrae are considered to be active members working to break that stereotype, giving audiences a hard hitting, raw delivery.

- Christian hip hop (originally gospel rap, also known as holy hip hop or Christ hop) is a form of hip hop music which uses Christian lyrical themes to express the songwriter's faith. Only during the 1990s did the term "Christian hip hop" become descriptive of this type of music. The audience is typically Christian, but the music is also used in missions work for the purpose of evangelization. Christian rap and hip hop artists are professed Christians in most cases, and use the fact that they are urban or suburban as a positive issue used to spread their religion. Like all Christian music, it can be experienced as Christian worship.
