If you want some examples of some good Christian non corny hip hop search up Lecrae. I actually want to make a Christian mixtape also but life's pretty busy at the moment. I think the idea's good but it will be difficult not to make it corny. It's good to rap about things that have happened in your life and how the gospel has helped you get through them. This is a much better approach than rapping about how "cool" God is. Anyway, if you ever want to collab on a song somewhere down the road when you're working on this mixtape than just hit me up. Here's an acapella of me rapping: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/4534 I'm an alright writer but I do need to work on my voice and breathing. - Sep
Hey! Thanks for your comment! Yeaa, I've been on Lecrae since '04 or 05 (back when Jesus Muzik first came out). He's commin out with Church Clothes Vol. 2 soon! Cant wait for dat! But yeaa mann. I'm not a rapper. I'm a producer, audio engineer, etc. I just love music. I might need you on the mixtape in the near future. I might collab with Swoope and Wit on the production. If you've never heard if them, I suggest you purchase 2 albums: "Wake Up" by Swoope and "W.L.A.K." by W.L.A.K (We Live As Kings).
Hey Patricia! Thanks for your feedback. Constructive criticism is a MUST in music! I purposely added an amplified distortion with a mid-high bass setting on it so that I don't have to deal with the gains on my mixing board. I also added a gentle compressor so that I can easily manipulate the levels on the vocals. I added dry stereo vocals in the background so that the vocals doesn't sound buzzy to the point that the lyrics aren't able to be comprehended by the listener. I chose that style as that vocal style as the chorus of the instrumental since electric guitar distortion does 2 extremes: brings high intensity in loud vocals or it brings the mellowest of mellow vocal vibes.
I, personally, didn't make the instrumental long since it was a quick idea I put together in literally 15 minutes at around 5am. But, I will definitely update it in the near future! and btw, thanks for welcoming me in the Loop! haha God bless

That isn't very long to get a really good idea of where you're going or what you need, but...
I just read this https://www.looperman.com/blog/detail/69 and maybe it could help.
If you can get a clearer vocal that would help as well.
Obviously I think a Hip Hop worship album is a good idea, you've got lots to work with here on the loop. Lots of music to shop with :-)
And, welcome to the Loop!
