Gospel music has over the years developed from just hymns to a more modernised and listener appealing genre. Of recent, the local music scenery has experienced rapid growth of hip-hop gospel, a way of passing Christian message through rapping the word of God. Mmegi correspondent TUMELO MOUWANE sat with Tebogo ‘Khete la Morena’ Seagelo to get an insight into his journey in the ever developing genre.

Hip-hop and gospel music in the past were two separate genres, which usually did not even share a stage. Hip-hop, stereotyped to be a genre associated with violence, boasting, money and drugs was not something that many locally thought could blend well with the Christian message.

Khete la Morena’s message is about how these two blends can easily be decoded from his stage name, which means ‘God sent rapper’. The American culture referred to as ‘bo-cat’ or plural ‘ma-cat’ locally, has blended well with gospel. The national television has of recent also introduced a show dubbed The Verse which mainly broadcasts hip-hop gospel content, something which reflects that indeed gospel hip-hop has made its mark in the local music scenery.
