Christopher 'Play' Martin Prepares 'Holy Hip Hop' DVD Showcasing Gospel Rappers
By Nolan Strong and Chris Richburg: AllHipHop.com Exclusive Interview

Christopher "Play" Martin, one-half of the early duo Kid 'n Play, is releasing  Holy Hip Hop, a  new DVD that showcases rappers from the world of gospel music. Martin serves as host, director and producer of the 82-minute DVD, which offers an inside look at artists leading the way in the gospel rap scene.

"When I got introduced to this world about ten years ago, I had no idea it was around," Martin told AllHipHop.com. "I've been blessed to get a second time around and it's very special to see the packed concert halls to basements, watching crowds of all kinds going bananas over Hip Hop tracks and flows like it used to be."

Martin, currently CEO of HP4 Digital Works, became involved in the gospel hip hop scene in the mid-1990s, following his stint as a member of Kid-n-Play.  The rapper has enjoyed both recording and on screen success and has starred in movies such as House Party (1, 2 and 3) and Class Act.

"I hope this is the beginning of a new chapter in Hip Hop music, something better for my sons Christopher and Skyler, for their generation and beyond," said Martin."

Holy Hip Hop In-Stores March 21, 2006 and features 5.1 surround sound, interactive menus, scene selections and trailers.
