Hip Hop and Islam have a deep connection, that can be traced to the earliest years of the development of Hip Hop and even as far as to the invention.
From Muslim Black Nationalist movements like the Nation of Islam, the Nation of Gods and Earths and also the Sunni Islam, to Afro-American converts to Mainstream of Islam, who use their music as a instrument to spread the Islamic ways of life, Islam has always played an great impact in the ways that the Hip Hop culture went by.
