SoundClick artist: ArtisanMinistry - Im what you can concider a free agent, I rap with alot of labels

This is what I do; I push the word of God through Holy Hip-Hop, for Christ and Christ only. I don't consider what I do as entertainment it is better defined as ministering to the masses. I spit the raw truth with biblical backup, what else do I need but Christ made manifest through me? You can catch me on alot of different radio stations from Houston,TX. Seattle,WA. and Elkhart,IN.

Why this name?

Exodus Chapter 36- "God's gift of excellence"

Do you play live?

For sure' I minister in Michigan, as well as Chicago and Indiana for now until GOD enlarges my territory, and I LOVE it! A special moment among many that comes to mind...OL' RUGGED United Front concert ministering to a packed house, standing room only and lives were changed.well im back updating my page, God has enlarged my territorys Back to Houston where Ive spent most of my life. Also in the future I'll be doin shows in Seattle as well as Hammilton...Praise God...

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

The internet helps and expedites the word of God to more people.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

yes I would. where ever the lord leads I will follow. But it would have to be conciderd threw much prayer, so for right now I do me,I record me,I produce me with the help from five different producers,I promote myself and i do it all through the insperation of the holy ghost. However I have found that working with only one label can acully be a detrement as well as competitive.
