Why am I just now learning about this new hip-hop phenomenon, called Jesus music?

I have no idea where I have been hiding I guess for the past three years, but, tonight I was just introduced to probably the coolest thing I have done in Panama City, and I have been here for six years.
Tonight I got to see an outpouring of sincerity, fun and participation from teens around the city, while they praised God – while listening to RAP music.
The coolest thing I have seen in a while.
Here is a video of the kids around me… we all danced for like three hours together, rapping about how awesome God is, and thanking him for dying for us and raising again like he said he would to wash away the things we have done so we can have a relationship with Him.

All of the artists were good, I was wicked impressed. I remember ten years ago when I craved something like this and there wasn’t much fresh out there – now these guys are awesome and they rap with some hot beats and really smart lyrics. If you crave what I crave, which is hot music that glorifies God, AND gets the blood flowing, then I would check out these bands we saw tonight:
Burning Bush (sorry it’s sideways for a sec, I forgot I wasn’t taking photos)

These ladies and gentlemen are pretty awesome and all of their music glorifies God.
From what I heard, these bands will be out again this summer, including Lacrae. If I can I plan to be there!
