“Christian rap isn't a new genre, but it is one that is definitely on the rise. It's not unusual to see fans tweeting the lyrics to their favorite Lecrae songs, or showing their friends the newest video from Andy Mineo. With inspirational hip-hop becoming so popular, I figured I'd put a little twist on this month's artist interview. Meet Lil' Mike and Funny Bone. If you're from Oklahoma City, you might recognize them from their many performances around the area. Or you may recognize them from a little show called (drumroll please) "America's Got Talent!" You heard right. This awesome rap duo brought glory to the King of Kings this past season with their song "Do the Rain Dance." And might I add America was more than pleased with their hard hitting lyrics and a beat you can't help but move to. (Cue the lady in the audience getting out of her seat to dance...)

Bio

Lil Mike and Funny Bone are Oklahoma City's hottest Native American hip-hop duo.
Seen by world viewers on NBC's America's Got Talent, performing their hit song "Rain Dance" but these  two are anything but a novelty act.
The brothers, respectively - have spent years making the rounds of clubs, churches, arenas, birthday parties and retirement homes while developing their skills as motivational speakers, beat-makers, graphic artists and rappers. 
They have even managed to find radio play, television interviews & magazine exposure,  all independently. 
Mike and Bone have won talent contests, opened for big-name acts such as Billy Rey Cyrus, Wine-O, Bobby Valentino, Lil Troy, T-Bone, Jacob Latimore, Family Force 5 & more. Plus played gigs in penitentiaries and been mobbed by screaming fans.
Getting to that point hasn't been easy. From homelessness to gang violence to "size-ist" discrimination, the brothers have hustled and flowed their way from nothing to something - even if they still have a long way to go.
The brothers are members of the Pawnee tribe, their faith in God gives them both the courage to stand tall in the spotlight - despite being only about 4 feet 9 inches tall.
"Call us short," Funny Bone said. "We're not legally midgets or dwarves. We're short."
For Lil Mike and Funny Bone, the music business is pretty much their only job - their only source of income. So staying booked is how we pay the bills.
When they can they spend weekends at the flea market, selling their own recordings and those of other local hip-hop artists at a booth called "405 Music." They're willing to preform just about anywhere. "It's not hard to book us"
