Trip Lee Energizes Black Christian Music


"Between Two Worlds" is Trip Lee's latest album.  Released on June 22nd by Reach Records, it is already overwhelming the charts, leading Christian Album sales at #1.  Trip Lee is originally from Dallas, Texas, and now lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  He is only 23 years old.  His success can largely be attributed to the way he views hip-hop music and worship.  In interviews he has stated that he tries to have audiences latch on to parts of his raps, so they can sing and exalt Jesus together.  While he views his raps as teachings, he wants his audience to participate in communal prayer by singing along with his music.  That is what separates him from other hip-hop Black Christian artists.
