Psalmist Cypher Podcast
Psalmist Cypher is where Christian hip-hop meets urban ministry—a podcast built to speak truth, inspire purpose, and represent Christ boldly in every area of life. Hosted by David Santiago Jr., this show dives deep into real conversations about faith, music, entrepreneurship, culture, and calling—all from a raw, street-level perspective.
We talk about new Christian hip-hop releases, spotlight songs that carry weight, and discuss how the music is impacting the culture. But this isn’t just about music. It’s about ministry in motion—inspiring conversations, biblical truth, motivational moments, and real-life stories from guests across different walks of life.
Whether it’s a word of encouragement, a scripture breakdown, or an interview with a fellow believer chasing purpose, Psalmist Cypher is here to remind you that you still matter, you still have purpose, and God’s not done with you.

In this episode of Psalmist Cypher, David Santiago Jr. dives into the raw and powerful movement of East Coast Christian hip hop. From street corners to sanctuaries, David breaks down how this region has shaped the sound of faith through bars, beats, and bold testimonies. He shares his own introduction to CHH and how God used it to reach him right where he was.
Spotlighting heavy hitters like C4 Crotona, Datin, and William Cata, David unpacks what makes each artist stand out — not just lyrically, but spiritually. He also takes time to highlight the often-overlooked role of producers and how they help build the soundtracks behind the message.
