Royce Lovett + The Roots of Gospel Rap w Soup The Chemist on the Jukebox
Royce Lovett’s blend of soul, hip-hop, and Gospel has found a wild path into the world – from a Motown Gospel debut to NBC’s The Voice and beyond. In this episode, we hear a slew of his music as he unspools the story of his inspiring journey so far. On the Jukebox, we listen back to some of the earliest examples of Christian Hip Hop and trace the roots of Rap back to Gospel, with pioneering musician and author Soup The Chemist and early artist and church-planter Pastor Chris Williamson.
