notes

I was born in Camden, Arkansas. Moms and pops separated when I was nine years old, and so I grew up like any other young poor kid living with a single mom. I never had a desire to go to church and so i fed on the philosophies that rap music taught. You know, lies like; the police is the devil, school is for chumps, daddy dont care about his kids (especially since that was all moms told me), and mamma cant raise a man. So at the age of 12, I joined a street gang, the nineties crips. I gained respect by fighting rival gang members, breaking in people cribs, and robbing people. Since moms worked long hours on her job to make ends meet, the streets became my babysitter. On January 18, 1994, my uncle (who was also my best friend and gang member) was shot and killed at the age of 16. It took such a tremendous toll on my life that I became depressed and suicidal. So that summer, my momma sent me to stay with an older cousin in Dallas where I began writing poems, that eventually turned into rap. At the age of 15, I was recognized as one of the most popular freestyle rappers at the school that I was attending. But unfortunately, my behavior had worsened, and my grades were slipping. In the fall of 1996, I got into trouble for auto theft and was sent to a juvenile facility in Oklahoma, then to Louisiana. When I was released, nothing changed. I began to drink strong liquor, and smoke weed heavily. I was constantly being suspended from school, and was in and out of jail. By the time I was 18, I was receiving death threats from rival gangs over street wars, I had been expelled indefinitely from high school, and had been arrested for armed robbery and battery in the first. When I was 19, I accepted an invitation to go to church from a youth pastor. After attending 2 Sunday morning services, I gave my life to Christ during an alter call after hearing a teaching from Mathew 24. It was good to know that I was finally free from a life that had me bound for years, and that joy was strongly felt while I was at church. But every time I came home, I was reminded of the jungle I lived in, and the life style I was once slave to. But God was faithful to me, He gave me a hunger for His word, and like a diver seeking a underwater pearl, I sought out scripture to know the truth. As I grew in the knowledge of Gods word, I prayed and asked God not to take away my gift of writing rhymes and allow me to use it for His glory. For the past 4 years, Ive been writing Christian rap to influence, convict, and impact the lives of men and women. Ive been blessed to be involved in several events and talent showcases such as: gospel dream, the mixx masters lounge show (which aired on the insp channel), Ive done several showcases during the gma week in Nashville, along with ministering to hundreds of youth at many church functions, youth conferences, and public parks. I believe its Gods will for me to bring His message through what we know today as Holy Hip Hop. I know what it feels like to be lost, and to be found, and God has used me to communicate to them both.

  • CD INQUIRY
    author: LaSha Tate

    To God Be the Glory 4 the things he has done. I was at Beckah Shae's CD Release Party @ The Foundry and I got to see you perform. You are really annointed by THE HOLY SPIRIT- YOUR MUSIC IS HOT. I just want to know when is the CD coming out???. I meant to purchase them @ the pre-sale but I was broke. Check it though- I want to buy multiple copies 4 some men at a local half-way house. I would like to bless some young men that I know who are lost right now with your music and bring them 2 CHRIST. Holla back when you get a moment. GOD BLESS, SHA

  • Tone Got "It"...
    author: Trey

    As a Believer, I can easily hear "The Annointing" in his voice and in his lyrics. As a Christian Mystic, I feel the enlightenment behind the words, the vibrations under the audible sounds which can only come from the Holy One. All the Haters out there, KEEP HATIN!!! Persecution Brings Blessings 100 Fold. Brothatone is FOR REAL!!!

  • The Same Christ
    author: manuel baeza

    Brothatone puts it down for Christ, and raps on the side. This is a great album. I play it for my unsaved friends and respect the message.

  • Preach to the Masses
    author: Greg Greer

    Now this is the type music we need to reach out across the country. Everytime I hear someone talk about Christian music, they say it's boring. Well...Brothatone speaks the truth and no one has an excuse now. Great cd and keep it up. God bless.

  • I Preach For Christ

I work with young people who struggle with their own demons & the temptations of this world & this CD has helped to give them hope & believe there is a future for them! Thanks so much! Live peacefully & love freely! Lynda

  • 'Did yall forget about my hood?'
    author: Linda Ignacio

    This CD is the SINGLE most amazing christian rap cd out there. Period! :) Especially song #2 (reaching out) has left a BIG impact on our lives! It's so incredibly true: people go to africa, to asia to preach the gospel, but 'did yall forget about the hood'? I LOVE the sound of this cd, I LOVE the lyrics.... definately 5 stars! (I'd give it 6 if that were possible!)

    author: In HIS Image Cuts

    Brothatone has redefined gospel rap with a message of salvation that should be heard by all youth all over the world to help eliminate negative hip hop and restore life to the youth of this land!!!! AMEN

  • Who you rep with?
    author: tre reaume

    Representing San Diego!!! Brothatone puts it down for CHRIST in this album. Praise God for blessing this man with such gifting. If we all used our gifts to glorify the King think of how the world would be different...

    author: Ryan Ferris

    If you love Rap but can't find any good Christian Rap to listen to, then this is the CD for you! It's full of the truth from the word of God and you won't fing any lame lyrics and weak beats. Get it man I'm tellin you!

  • Awesome!
    author: Joshua Inman

    This CD has it all the sounds, the lyrics, and most importantly, Food! I like the subjects he touches on, like Homosexuallity, and the Church not doing missions here in the United States, our own country. Oh, and we do have a Reason to Smile. I recommend this CD to anyone who loves tight beats, with a great lyricist, and who loves the eating the Word of God.

    author: hypnotic

    This album is the best Christian album I've heard!! It's good that someone can put God out there that doesn't sound like a wimp or that talks as if the world is just peachy. It's a battle everyday and this music shows that it is so everyday trying to live for God. I'm going to recommend for my church to see if a booking can be arranged!!

  • brothatone is helping revive Christian rap
    author: Keenan Webb

    I wish the snippets were full length songs, and i can't wait to hear them. but the songs that are complete are freaking great. Christian music in general is getting better, but he's at the front lines of Christian rap and this cd ruled. i want to listen to more of his stuff now.
