John Reuben is a Christian rapper signed to Gotee Records. John Reuben (full name John Reuben Zappin) has contributed to Christian and secular albums alike, and has been frequently releasing albums since 2000, as has fellow Christian rap artist KJ-52 and the group Ill Harmonics. Much like KJ, as well as Ill Harmonics, Playdough and other names in the world of gospel rap, John Reuben uses a rap flow similar to mainstream artists, but has a slower pace and gives the lyrics more focus. As some may find the album title Professional Rapper to suggest, his lyrics are arguably the most refined of all Christian hip hop to date, generally excluding all but one slice of urban slang (the laughter, often used to retain an appealing flow), although Reuben often uses less sophisticated dialogue while appearing on a "street" rapper's album, his appearance on Black Sheep inspired "The Choice is Yours," available on KJ-52 Presents Collaborations. Zappin is a good friend of Toby Mac's, who executive produced his 2005 album The Boy vs.
