5 Cheap Ways for Christian Rappers to Increase Their Exposer

Every rapper whether they are a Christian or secular artist wants some type of positive exposure. You don’t have to spend loads of cash or max out your credit card to expand your level recognition. I have five simple yet effective ways for an unsigned Christian Rapper to increase their exposure.

Get a Web site. I can afford a Web site. You might say. It’s not an expensive venture anymore to get a Web site. For less than $6 you can get your domain name (ex: www.rapforjesus.com). Click this link to get your cheap domain for your Gospel rap site. For absolutely no money... zero dollars, you can get free hosting. Hosting is where you store your files on the Internet so people can see your page(s). To get free hosting for your Christian rap site click here. Have someone create the page(s) for you through bartering (exchange of services instead of money) and you’ll bet set.


Join Gospel Elevations. Thousands of people visit this site on a regular basis. Gospel Elevations is a free site that showcases Gospel Rappers, Christian Rappers, or Gospel Singers with a hip hop flare. All you need to provide is the following: Group Name – Photo of CD Cover or Self – 3 MP3 Tracks with the name of each song and the name of the project. Go to the Web site at www.gospelelevations.net to see what’s up and get more instructions.


Offer your CD or partial tracks as FREE gift. Everyone likes free stuff. Don’t look it as giving your music away, look at it as sowing into your ministry. Make sure you put your contact information on the jewel case of the CD cover. If people feel your message, then they will know how to contact you to get your Christian rap CD.

Minister wherever God leads you. Identify area churches who have a progressive youth ministry. Many youth ministries have events in which they have what may be called Lock Ins or Praise Nights. They have activities for the youths. There may be preaching, praise dancing, mime, drama and Gospel Rap. Visit local church and contact the youth pastor and see if they are receptive of non members ministering to their congregation. Let them keep a copy of your music. Visit the church a few times through out the year so that your face becomes familiar.

Get Bumper Stickers or Car Magnets. Fliers get thrown away or ignored. But people remember catchy bumper stickers. Vista Print or a company like them On line can create a bumper sticker or car magnet for you. Be creative with the space. Make the text readable and easy to remember because you only have a few seconds for people to view your message while they are in the car. Your name and email address must stand out.

Create a Yahoo, Google, or Hotmail email just for contact or booking purposes. Don’t put your private email address on the bumper stickers because you may get a lot of junk mail or spam.
