Andy Mineo

Andy Mineo is an American rapper, singer and producer from Syracuse, New York, who became one of the most recognizable names in Christian hip-hop after signing to Lecrae's label Reach Records in 2011. Before adopting his birth name as a stage name, he recorded as C-Lite, building a reputation as both a producer and an MC before a personal faith commitment reshaped his career and led him to shut down his studio and start fresh in New York City.

His breakthrough came with the single «In My City», followed by his debut album Heroes for Sale in 2013 and the EP Never Land in 2014. His sophomore album Uncomfortable (2015) is widely regarded as a high point of his catalog, pairing sharp, technical rap verses with soulful, radio-ready hooks and exploring themes of identity, faith and vulnerability. He also released the collaborative mixtape Magic & Bird with fellow rapper Wordsplayed.

Mineo's sound blends boom-bap and mainstream hip-hop production with R&B and pop textures, and his lyrics often mix humor, introspection and explicit faith content without being confined to a single lane. Songs like «Coming In Hot», «You Can't Stop Me» and «Paganini» showcase his versatility across upbeat, hard-hitting tracks and more reflective material, and he remains a key figure bridging Christian hip-hop with the broader rap mainstream.
