Gospel Music Association's "Dove Award Rap/Hip Hop Album Award Winners"

The winners for 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, and 2001 may contain some rap elements but they’d be better tagged as “dance/pop” or “techno”. There’s also a tendency to lean towards more pop-influenced rap at the expense of harder underground styles.

Of course, the Dove Awards don’t really have a history of “cutting edge” choices…
