Compiled by EMI's Christian imprint Gotee Records (nearly half of the artists are from that label), Hip Hope Hits 2007 is a collection of positively (and often religiously) themed hip-hop.

Symphony, G.R.I.T.S, Verbs, and Pettidee are certainly rappers, but John Reuben mixes faux pop-punk into his white-boy delivery, Tobymac sounds unfortunately similar to LFO, and Liquid has more of a neo-soul feel than anything else.
