Stories Since Seventy Nine (abbreviated Stories Since 79 or Ss79) is a Canadian-exclusive EP by the Christian rapper Manafest. [1] It was released independently on September 5, 2012. [2] [3] [4] The EP is technically a side project release and not a regular piece of Manafest's work. [1] [5]

Christian hip hop is a subgenre of hip hop music characterized by a Christian worldview, with the general purposes of evangelization, edifying some members of the church and/or simply entertaining. Christian hip hop music emerged from urban communities in the United States in the 1980s, when it existed almost exclusively in small underground scenes, with minimal formal industry promotion and little mainstream attention. It emphasizes the use of positive and uplifting messages to promote faith and belief.
