Cram Session is the brainchild of Antioch Alumni founder Unearth, along with Excal and Deadman Walking.  After what was supposed to be a 5 song EP written and recorded in a weekend.  Many local MCs from Boston, MA came through to the studio and dropped verses and compiled song ideas.  By the end of a weekend the end product was 16 tracks, an entire album's worth of material.  

Amazingly enough Cram Session has gone on to be one of the most unique events in Hip Hop.  7 years strong, christian MCs from all over the globe will meet at Antioch Alumni's home studio, write raps, laugh, eat, debate, with the end product being an album made available to the public.  Cram Session is even video streamed on the internet.  Participants are able to interact with fans who log on to spectate some of their favorite artist at work.  

The producers who consistently donate beats to the Cram Session, contribute greatly to the final product which has received favorable reviews for 6 consecutive years, much because of  the artists who lay down rhymes, but even more because of the beats.  

Although music is a large part of the Cram Session, what keeps people coming back and giving beats is the Spirit that permeates the atmosphere of Cram Session. The known and the unknown work together and are treated as equals.  Egos are left at the door and God is glorified.  What Antioch Alumni has created by God's grace is an environment where weaker MCs are encouraged and helped by more experienced artists.  Believers of different maturity levels and theological convicts can discuss their differences without tearing down each other.  

Cram Session is a microcosm of the Church living out the gospel through the context of music and in this case, Hip Hop.  Join us next year and see for yourself.
