God Made Me Do It
What you see is what you get with Prafit Josiah. His latest project, āGod Made Me Do it,ā is a 12-track, story-telling, classic Hip-Hop elements filled album, with messages and scenarios centered around faith in adulthood.
To be clear, it is a constructed album, with skits and all, which in and of itself is a rarity today, but should be expected given one of his mantras, āHip-hop, Christian or not, is no longer just a young manās sport.ā He pridefully represents God and adulthood, noting that the current norm is to portray Hip-Hop as youth-oriented.
We discuss all this and more during our interview.

Christian Hip Hop artist Prafit Josiahās follow-up to the 2018 EP āMy God is Dopeā hits digital retailers on November 13, 2020. The new album, titled āGod Made Me Do Itā, is storytelling at its finest as Prafit explains why, after nearly 20 years, he still cannot put down the mic.
Releasing via Naz-Sect Publishing, āGod Made Me Do Itā is a 12-track album that includes classic Hip-hop elements, from production to traditional lyricism, along with a newly remastered version of Prafitās hit song āCome Backā featuring CHH mainstay R-Swift.
Beginning with his group Prafitz in 1993, Josiahās musical journey is a testament to staying the course in an industry that is quick to move on to the latest flash in the pan. As Josiah explains, āHip-hop, Christian or not, is no longer just a young manās sport. This album is four years in the making. Iām here to speak on adult things, talk about life, and point people to Godā¦oh yeah, donāt expect me to conform or try to fit in. Iām doing me!ā
