My mission is not to give an apologetic for why I'm trying to impact people's lives and use the Gospel to transform. My mission is to impact people's lives and use the Gospel to transform. I want to be on that mission and not explaining it all the time.

I was very introverted growing up and I had small circle of friends. Any opportunity I got to rap or articulate things through rhyme or hip hop was great for me.

My faith is not identified by my title. My faith is identified by how I live. Wearing the uniform is not the same as playing the game.

As I grew older I found that I really had a knack for rhyming and I pursued that. So by thirteen I got serious about using my writing and rhyming skills. I did it everywhere I could.

I'm saying let's demonstrate what Jesus had done in us so the world may see a new way, God's way, Jesus' way the picture of redemption that Jesus has done in us. So Jesus redeems us and we desire to go to the world and demonstrate that so that others can see what redemption looks like.

For me, my faith dictates everything I do, so no matter what I'm saying in my art, my faith is the driver for that. That's what I'd encourage people to understand as they listen to my music. It's distinct. My worldview bleeds through my music.

If I'm learning something, that's all I want to talk about.
