His first book,\u00a0<\/span>Heaven Has A Ghetto: The Missiological Gospel & Theology of Tupac Amaru Shakur<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>wrestles with the profane and sacred socio-theological messages within Tupac\u2019s life, his second book,\u00a0<\/span>The Soul Of Hip Hop: Rimbs, Timbs, & A Cultural Theology<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>engages a new arena of theological studies by examining what Hip Hoppers espouse to be God and the quest for spirituality within the Hip Hop community.
