In the latest episode of "Jill and Jessa: Counting On" called "Ben Drops Beats" on Tuesday, the Duggar kids get introduced to Christian hip hop music for the first time when Ben Seewald and his family visit St. Louis, Missouri, to meet with Christian hip hop artist FLAME.
Ben is passionate about FLAME's music but his wife Jessa has no clue about it. "Really, I wouldn't have really known anything about Christian hip hop if it wasn't for Ben liking this type of music," Jessa admits. "I probably mostly listen to bluegrass and classical and some Christian-country type stuff."
Her siblings are just the same. "I wouldn't know how to describe hip-hop music," elder sister Jana says, while Joy-Anna thinks that it is "kind of like rock music."
"It's one of a kind," quips Jinger, while John-David offers, "You don't even have to be necessarily an excellent singer, I don't think, to do it."
Their sister-in-law Anna, who is married to eldest son Josh, gives the most impressive answer. However, the mother of four later confesses that their camera guy named Bill is coaching her all along.
"It's more like talking-singing," says Anna. "Hip-hop is a beat, and rappers rap on hip-hop beats."
Jessa has a really great time learning about hip hop, laughing to his heart's delight upon hearing her husband and son Spurgeon Elliot give singing a whirl.
"It was really cool hanging out in the studio with these guys and just seeing their passion for Christian hip hop," says Jessa. "It's a different type of music, but it's still got that message, and it's really great."
Aside from that, Jessa also bonds with FLAME's wife and sister, who both came from India. They even introduce the young Duggar mom to Indian cuisine.
"It's great getting to meet new friends and people who have come from very diverse backgrounds and getting to learn more about their culture and their customs and how we differ," says Jessa.
