Catholic Rap: Elijah & Elisha

Spotted on the happening PhatMass phorum:

Hello everyone, my brother and I have decided to give up 10 years of rapping about anything and everything to rapping about our Catholic Faith. We made this decision a couple of weeks ago and have some sample songs for you guys to check out. If you wanna check out our songs, go to www.myspace.com/twinrecords We will have a brand new myspace page coming soon and also an official website. The myspace link above is the link to our old myspace that we had our "other rap songs" on there but just took them out and put our Catholic songs.We are both devout Catholics who are in love with our faith. We are currently working on an album but for right now, we can give samples. Thank you!!

I listened to one of their songs - not bad, if you dig the genre.

An in a related vein, Pope Benedict said this weekend that young people are called to be apostles to their friends:

Before the recitation of the Angelus on Sunday, Pope Benedict XVI spoke about his July 12-21 trip to Australia for the 23rd World Youth Day. Recounting his experiences at the Sydney event, he encouraged young people to follow the example of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati by being apostles to their friends.

Speaking from the balcony of his summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, the Holy Father described World Youth Day as an “extraordinary experience.” He told his audience that in Sydney he met the “youthful face of the Church,” a “multicolor mosaic, composed of boys and girls from the world over, united in one faith in Jesus Christ.” (CNA)

Music ain't a bad way to start.
