Hot97 Spotlight: Miles Minnick on Faith, Family, and Hyphy Christian Rap

 


Christian rap sensation Miles Minnick recently made waves with his appearance on Hot 97, one of hip-hop's premier platforms. Introducing the Hot 97 audience to his unique Bay Area sound, known as Hyphy Christian Rap, Minnick shared insights into his musical journey and faith-driven mission.

Reflecting on his path, Minnick recounted his humble beginnings. He wrote and performed his first Christian rap song to impress gospel music judges at a high school talent show—a moment he now sees as divine intervention.

Minnick's career took a significant leap forward after an unexpected twist at a local secular show in the Bay Area. During his viral performance, the sound system failed, forcing him to deliver his rhymes acapella. The crowd's enthusiastic reaction to his raw, unfiltered performance marked a turning point in his career.

In his interview, Minnick also offered valuable parenting tips, shared insights on his faith, and discussed how his rise to fame—his "glo-up"—is deeply rooted in family and faith.
