JOB: The Hip-Hop Musical is the smash hit retelling of the Biblical story of Job through hip-hop. MC Cain and MC Abel narrate the classic tale, this time set at a hip-hop record label. When President J. Hoover (a.k.a. Jehovah) makes a bet with VP Finance Lou Saphire (a.k.a. Lucifer), top exec Job Lowe loses everything he has.
"JOB is a hugely imaginative and energetic show. It's performed with urgency and passion and is wildly entertaining!"

JOB has been performed in over 15 cities worldwide, including an Off-Off Broadway run in New York and the 2004 Edinburgh International Fringe Festival.
The second act, or sequel, is called JOB II: The Demon of the Eternal Recurrence and there is also the combination of the two, with an intermission, called JOB: The Hip-Hop Saga.
