I was involved in promoting prostitution and selling dope for most of my life. I did time in the Youth Authority, County Jails and State Penitentairys when I wasn't on the streets hustlin. Im covered with scars and tattoo's all over my body but my heart was the most scarred part of me for a long, long, time. Jesus saved my life more times than I can count. Now, I make music for him and for those who might still be in the game, because if you are still out there, you will not only understand what Im rappin about but also you will be feeling that same emptiness that I felt for so longand you DON'T have to! Jesus died for us homie. The killers, dope pushers, thieves, hustlers, gangstaz, prostitutes, pimps, even the police - if you can imagine that!

My past music was about my life - (crime - pimpin - promoting prostitution). I am now a born again Christian and I create music for believers and those who are seeking the truth. My testimony can be found in my songs -about how Jesus changed my life after spending over 14 years in "The Game", Jails, State Prison, hospitals, and trouble in general.

This year I released an album called, "If You Buid It, He Will Come" - my first Christian rap album. My second Christian album, "Game Over" is also now available. I am writing and producing a gospel R&B album as well right now as well as finishing up another rap album with my brother Hi-Q out in Norway. So thats whats up with me. The bottom line is this; everything I do, I do for Jesus. My ministry now takes me over seas and into prisons and churchs where I share my testimony and faith with others. We are working very hard to break down the boarders between believers and non-believers. I strive to be a Christian who is not judgemental or pretentious. Im just a sinner saved by the grace of God.
