About Me:

i'm a conservative Christian alternative hip hop artist, producer, emcee and promoter from upstate NY.

About My Ministry:

My main burden is the restoration of the family, (since it's the foundational building block of civilization) but in order for that to happen we need to be lifting up the supremacy of Christ and His word. i do it through the medium of music, as i believe it to be one of the fastest way to reach our present post-modern culture..with the truth claims of God...and by extension, take back our communities and neighborhoods for the His glory.

Christian rap/hip hop has been under attack since it's inception due to various reasons. Bigotry, ignorance, creative subjectivity, division within it's own ranks, fear from those on the outside (and a whole lot of mediocrity) have all played a part. Many have deemed it as a useless waste of time and in some respects it has been. A lot of artists have stepped up to the plate over the years trying to blaze trails for the rest of us; but only a few have made it to the regional/national level and been able to truly connect with the intended audience, it was the reason i stepped into the game in the first place trying to reach out to the 518.

However..the lyrical and production qualities have evolved into what we've all been praying for. Many of us have been waiting to see this happen for at least a decade. As a result, my focus has shifted. The goal of this website is to give people a "birdseye view" of what's really going on within the Christian hip hop community..and to provide a bit of some much needed information regarding the truths of Gods Word as it pertains to society, the family, the body of Christ and our individual/corporate responsibilites to support youth leaders that are making a difference in the Christian hip hop culture (creating a real thirst to know more about the Creator of which they speak and facilitating a hunger to dig deeply into the scriptures).

Yes, we're still in an information war (and it's raging) and yes, there's still a lot of work to do; but the Christian rap/hip hop movement has morphed into a unified force for Christ and lives are being transformed as a result! Don't miss this!

There's a saying in the street, "real recognize' real". If the music isn't at least on the same level with MTV for instance, they just..wont..listen (trust me on this one).

Again, God has raised up a group of pastors and youth leaders out of the street that are a) creating compelling content, b) absolutely in love with His Word and c) have a passion to reach our kids.

That's a winning combination no matter how you look at it!

These are exciting times that we're living in! We need to get behind this movement..it's turned into sort of a microcosm of the church, many members but one body, one God one love, working together for His glory. Even if you don't feel connected to it, do a bit of research and you'll soon come to some very interesting conclusions. It's actually making a difference on multiple fronts!

God has provided the tools to reach our kids with the message of hope found in the gospel, it's up to us to use them effectively! For to long we've been plagued by doubt and fear.

Step up..He is able!
