Atheist Rapper

Not sure how I hadn’t heard about him until a few days ago, I must be slipping. I grew up in Southern California and was introduced to hip-hop at a very young age, and though my tastes have expanded somewhat hip-hop has always had a special place in my heart.

So, a few days ago I found a site where someone had created, what can best be described as skeptic baseball cards. Going down the list I noticed a young guy named Greydon Square. To say the least I was intrigued, atheist rappers don’t exactly grow on trees. After listening to a few of his songs I was absolutely hooked. If you click on his name it will take you to his myspace page where you can listen to a few of his songs.

As far as I know he doesn’t swear in his songs except for the occasional “damn” or “hell”. There are the occasional references to violence (he’s an ex-gang member and Iraq War vet) and drugs, so listen for yourself and decide if it’s okay for the younguns.
