The stories of three young musicians - a Christian, a Muslim and a Sikh - all using Hip Hop and R&B to express their different faiths.

Khaled Siddiq is a rapper and singer who hopes to spread the word of Islam over 808 beats. NoNameDisciple is a Christian rapper who is channeling a troubled past and love of God over trap beats. Jagga is a Sikh rapper determined to turn the heartbreak of bereavement into the inspiration behind his music - despite the inevitable hurdles.

Follow these young trailblazers as they approach landmark events in their musical careers and attempt to overcome different stigmas from both their own community and the wider public. With so much prejudice, conflict and negativity often associated with religion, the positive steps these young people are taking are showcasing their faiths in a whole different light.
