To some, Christianity and hip hop seem antithetical. Not so in
Kenya. There, the music of Julius Owino, aka Juliani, blends faith
and beats into a potent hip hop gospel aimed at a youth culture
hungry for answers spiritual, material, and otherwise. Mwenda
Ntarangwi explores the Kenyan hip hop scene through the lens of
Juliani's life and career. A born-again Christian, Juliani produces
work highlighting the tensions between hip hop's forceful
self-expression and a pious approach to public life, even while
contesting the basic presumptions of both. In The Street Is My
Pulpit, Ntarangwi forges an uncommon collaboration with his subject
that offers insights into Juliani's art and goals even as Ntarangwi
explores his own religious experience and subjective identity as an
ethnographer. What emerges is an original contribution to the
scholarship on hip hop's global impact and a passionate study of
the music's role in shaping new ways of being Christian in Africa.
