Wowwwwww! I am totally blown away again! Man, your new song "Do It 4 Christ" says so many things that I've wanted to say to other more "judgmental" Christian folks for years, but I guess I was way far too angry and frustrated to even collect my thoughts, much less get them out in such great form. Your very right, some folks need to carefully read "The Word" that they profess to believe. Those proclaiming that other artistic forms like the wonderful rap of GM919 as "The Devil's Music" need to realize that the majority of people in America, especially the 9-30's crowd(maybe even more than that), including the Christian audiences, everyday, turn to secular music and entertainment because the Christian based forms of entertainment are so limited in their appeal, and truly biased and a turn off, in some ways! I know this to be true because I have lived it! As a secular artist, who just happens to be a Christian, I have often times experienced this, especially here in the Southeastern USA. I know that most folks probably mean well, but how hard is it to listen to something and tell where it's underlying flow/influences are coming from or leaning toward. I think that it boils down to being a good listener, and this falls into audience responsibilities. To learn, or to appreciate great works of art, we as listeners have to also be creative and skilled in the way that we listen, the discerning ear of sorts! Also, an open mind helps a great deal! It's a shame that some folks miss the pleasure because they refuse to see beyond their own prejugdices and biases. This great rap music(masterpiece in my opinion), if given media exposure, will reach a lot of people that aren't interested in listening to the stereo typical classic Sunday morning gospel mainstream music. Christians as a whole need to keep this fact in mind!
Extremely well done piece GM! Hang in there big guy! Change has always been slow to come! But, your art is greatly appreciated! I loved it! Keep on turning out those great rap tunes!
Thanks for letting me know about the new song!
Best Regards,
Ron

Not taking anything away from "Devils & Demons", but I'm really feeling "Time To Shine!" In my opinion, this is great Christian Rap Music! Everybody, why aren't commercial radio stations playing more of great new artist like this, that have a passion for real music, and an accountability to their listening audience. There are a lot of artists here on Ourstage(Rap Music Included) that could learn a lot from this guy! He doesn't use any profanity or sexually explicit language in his wrap, yet his point is made loud and clear, by his talent, brains and creativity, instead of trying to see how thugged out he can be! I really appreciate this aspect of his music! I see and hear enough of the street every day, I don't need to hear it in my music too! This guy's got class! His music is real, but also kid friendly/safe! Thumbs up! He's got my vote!
