Hip-hop Gospel station?

M

mcrawford620

Just a "personal listening enjoyment" question:
Are there any Gospel stations that play mostly/only the more hip-hop styles of gospel music? Kirk Franklin, Mary Mary, etc.? I like that part of gospel music, but the slow storm stuff kills most stations for me.
I know about NGEN and that's good, and have looked at Hot 95.9 as well. Any others?

I think your request to find something without some "slow storm stuff" as you call it is to limited to find an FM station doing just those artists.. Most Gospel stations play a mix of Kirk, Mary Mary etc.. along with other stuff.. while stations like NGEN and Hot 95.9 focus on a more youth type sound with Hip hop etc and shy away from the more "Gospel style" stuff..
 
As the previous poster implied, I think we are looking at two mutually exclusive and different formats with limited crossover: Christian hip-hop and black gospel. individual listeners may like both, but there is no mass appeal to a combination format.
 
That makes sense, thanks for the replies.

Maybe hip-hop wasn't exactly the right word; I was thinking that there is a subset of gospel that will actually get played on Urban stations, and that subset is the ones I actually like. But you're probably right that it is too limited to base a station on.

NGEN and Hot 95.9 weren't examples of what I was looking for, they were just two that I have heard of already. But you're right, they are a different breed.
