Summary

Nissim Baruch Black (born Damian Jamohl Black) has been a gangsta rapper, a gang member, and a faith seeker.

He was raised a Sunni Muslim but was non-practicing, and converted to Christianity at age 14 after attending an Evangelical summer camp.

But it is his current incarnation that is here to stay: an African American Hasidic Jew who brings sharp beats and hooked-filled rhymes to the masses.
