Hip hop is not a genre typically associated with Christianity. Its biggest stars often rap about gangs, drugs, and money. But one young hip hop artist is trying to change the genre.<\/p>\n
Cory Matthews Larmour, who goes by Cory Matthews, is a rapper from New York state. He hopes his style will change hip hop\u00e2??and spread the Gospel.<\/p>\n
After seeing his father DJ and his cousin rap, Cory tried writing rhymes himself. He has been doing it for years. The rapper's lyrics are aspirational and often reference God.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Larmour\u00a0became religious after a friend was stabbed and killed. A Catholic, he now attends Mass and frequently performs for youth gatherings.<\/p>\n
His debut album was called 'Unafraid.\u00e2?\u009d His next album, 'Boy Meets World,\u00e2?\u009d will be released this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Like many popular artists, he uses social media to help grow his fan-base and spread his ideas. Tens of thousands of fans follow him on Instagram and Facebook.<\/p>\n
Matthews does not identify as a Christian rapper. Rather, his music simply reflects the deep influence that Catholicism has had on his life.<\/p>\n
