There is a lot going on that has believers around the world praying. The people of Baltimore, Maryland are dealing with several unfortunate events at the moment. The death of Freddie Gray, violent protests, and racial tension has shook their community. Also, many are grieving for the people of Nepal as they are recovering from a 7.8-magnitude earthquake that hit their capital Kathmandu and took the lives of thousands. The Christian hip-hop community has reacted to these tragedies with words of wisdom, offers to assist, and commentary, among other things.

That's because media love this tension, they are part of the agenda too. #MediaTheRealThugs https://t.co/qPsSVgNZ7q

I would also be down to Skype with any leaders from Baltimore to share what I learned during Ferguson. #Baltimore #BalitmoreRiots

I am saddened by the destruction of property but it will never surpass the anger towards the destruction of people, image bearers of God.
