Cellus Hamilton is a New York City–based rap artist, author, speaker, and scholar whose work sits at the intersection of faith, hip-hop, Black music, and personal transformation. Originally from Atlanta, he uses music, storytelling, and biblical scholarship to explore culture, marriage, identity, and spiritual formation.

He is the author of three books, including his latest and most celebrated work, Let My People Flow: Hip Hop and the Black Prophetic Tradition, featuring a foreword by legendary scholar Dr. Michael Eric Dyson. Released in June 2026, the independently published book has received tremendous praise and is rapidly approaching 1,000 copies sold, adding to more than 5,000 independently sold copies of his previous books, If Jesus Was a Rapper and Why Men Shouldn’t Have Sex Before Marriage.

Cellus remains an active recording artist, with his latest album, Washing Her Feet 2, continuing to draw large audiences through pop-up listening parties. He is completing his Master of Divinity, graduating May 14, 2027, and is increasingly invited to speak and present on hip-hop, Black music, and theology. A studied reader of Biblical Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic, he hopes to teach in a university or seminary setting while continuing his work as a rapper, author, church laborer, teacher, and mentor. He lives in New York City with his wife and two sons.
