"The Perseverance" mixtape will be released as a FREE download on February 17, 2009. One thing that is going to stand out about this mixtape compared to others is that it is not just a bunch of random verses or remixes. There will be a handful of full songs on the mixtape with actual concepts, hooks, etc. The beats have a gritty underground vibe to them as well as some good soul to them. Fans who enjoy Christ centered lyricism expressed in creative and practical ways will be likely to be feeling the songs
I am confident that the material on The Perseverance Mixtape is going to be my best material that has been released. There will be 19 songs on the mixtape with plenty of guest features!



2 Corinthians 1:5
For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance so also is our comfort through Christ. That is the theme Scripture that my music is based off. There is so much pain and suffering in this fallen world but through a relationship with Christ no matter how bad the circumstance may be we can be comforted by a loving Savior who has compassion for us.! The sufferings we go through occur in order for us to be able to help others who may go through the same thing in the future. Sad as it is, if you are suffering without Christ you can have no comfort by Him. Instead you are actually storing up wrath for yourself for the day of judgment! That does'nt need to be the case though. Believe in Jesus and trust that he paid this judgment for you on the cross and have peace with God.



My aim is to make music that comes from the heart and to speak up on issues I feel are important for listeners to hear. Writing rhymes helps me to get things off my chest and I feel I can be more transparent through a song many times then I could be just talking to someone. You will see that the music has an underground steez and the lyrics are heart felt, thoughtful and use multi syllable rhyme patterns.



I aim to point listeners to Jesus Christ who is the God man, and who came to save the sick and those who are a mess. I am a mess and still am a mess even after conversion but that's ok. Christ came to save people who are a mess, who aren't perfect. My goal is to help people realize that Jesus is the only way to heaven. There can be only one true answer to a math problem just as there is only real one way to heaven. All religions cannot be right because they all teach completely different things. If you do not agree with this then please study each religion and it's claims in detail.
