I was 16 years old when somebody gave me a Christian hip-hop CD and had a

dude on the front cover, he had dreadlocks like mine, had a red band down to

spend my life trying to reproduce that moment for people all over the world.

The gentleman behind me, Wes, who helped me to create this project,

heard my album several years ago, believed on Jesus, and now he's helping me make

records. So now, this is your moment brother.

Now I just want to say I'm gonna live and breathe in testimony that God is working

through this music, so this award is for all of us, all of the artists out there

that continue to refuse to take Jesus out of your music, so that you could be

more successful. We see you and God sees you.

Hey, God loves Christian rap, and I thank y'all for it too.

Thank you. This is for Christian hip-hop, baby.
