Legends of the Christian hip hop movement, P.I.D (short for Preachers in Disguise), are back with a groove-laden old-school track entitled “Still Gifted”. Driven by a head-nodding beat and fueled by sharp lyricism, this single captures the essence of three rap veterans who have witnessed—and shaped—the evolution of Holy Hip Hop. “I’m an animated emanation of elevated sensation” bursts out as an electrifying mantra, testifying to their unwavering faith and unique sonic style. In the video, each MC steps forward against a graffiti-styled mural dedicated to their collective legacy, signifying their status as foundational figures in this scene. The group’s blend of humility, authenticity, and devotion resonates powerfully, offering a timeless vibe that bridges old-school hip hop purists and the younger rap generation.

P.I.D, pioneers of Holy Hip Hop, eye the future
Formed under the banner of P.I.D—later known as Preachas—this legendary outfit hails from the USA and boasts an illustrious history dating back to their 1988 debut album “Here We Are”. Over time, core members Fred Lynch, Ace One The MC, and King Solomon Jay earned widespread acclaim, releasing groundbreaking projects such as “The Chosen Ones,” “Born With The Gift: John 3:16 Factor,” and “Violent Playgrounds,” all while staying true to their ordained-minister roots.
After years of influence and lineup changes, these elder statesmen of hip hop have returned stronger than ever. In 2023, they signed with Holy Culture Records, co-produced the documentary “Mic Drop: The History of the Culture of Christian Hip Hop Culture”, and now announce their next chapter: a reunion album titled “The Crucible”, set to drop in 2025. Fans can expect new music and potent messages of faith, as P.I.D continues to illuminate the path for future generations. Stay tuned…
