John Reuben Zappin (born January 14, 1979 in Columbus, Ohio) is a Dove award nominated Christian rapper and singer signed to TobyMac’s Gotee Records. He released his debut album, Are We There Yet? in 2000 and has since released 2002’s Hindsight, 2003’s Professional Rapper, 2005’s The Boy vs. The Cynic, 2007’s Word of Mouth and 2009’s Sex, Drug and Self-Control. He has also released a remix album of tracks off his first three albums, titled So In Hindsight the Professional Rapper Isn’t There Yet.

John Reuben Zappin, was born in Columbus, Ohio. He is of Jewish heritage and according to his MySpace, his mother is the owner of a Christian Death Metal record label. Raised in Pataskala, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus, Reuben got his start in rapping in 1994 by taking the bus into the city to rap on open mic nights and participate in rap battles at the age of fifteen. Reuben later released Monuments, an independent EP, which caught the attention of Gotee Records. They took a chance, signing him to the label and releasing his first project, Are We There Yet?, in 2000. TobyMac, the founder of Gotee Records, provided vocals for the album’s final track, “God is Love”. Reuben’s next release, Hindsight (2002), continues his use of a wide variety of musical genres and thoughtful, often funny lyrics. The album was praised as a “truly eclectic and creative hip-hop album that blends old-school sounds with progressive production.” Once thought to be a Christian version of Eminem. Reuben’s first two releases established him as an original, witty, sarcastic musician, as well as Gotee’s top-selling solo rap artist.
