CHRISTCENTRIC is a collection of ministers, gifted in the art of hip-hop, and called by God to passionately preach, teach, and defend the message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified.  CHRISTCENTRIC is distinct in that they purpose not to entertain but to minister?and this primarily to professing believers within the hip-hop culture.  Coming alongside the Church to help ?spur (the saints) on toward love and good deeds? and ground them in sound doctrine?they seek to dynamically impact the lives of believers for the building of God?s Kingdom.  Through ?psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs??they powerfully bring the mercies of God in full view?calling saints to greater commitment to Christ and unbelievers into a right relationship with God.  

The ultimate aim of CHRISTCENTRIC is simply to bring glory to the mighty name of Jesus Christ.  So that?first in their lives and then the lives of their hearers?at all times and in all things?Jesus Christ ?might have the preeminence?. 

The group's members consist of: Apologist (producer and emcee), Evangel (emcee), and Q-D.O.G. (Quincy Disciple of God's Son- emcee).

Band/artist history

Their public ministry began very humbly in Oct. of ?98 at a youth coffeehouse at Wallace Presbyterian Church in Hyattsville, MD (where Q was then the full-time Youth Leader).  Since then, they have patiently waited for God to open doors for their ministry and He has provided opportunities to minister at various venues such as Club JC?s in D.C., opening up for other hip-hop artists such as the Crossmovement, Jah-Word, and Enyaphace.  They have also ministered at venues with Corey Red and Precise, Shadowless (formerly Raiders of the Lost), and Treasure/Rahab Records, the Gideon Band, and RockSoulLive in Philadelphia, P.A, and Georgia Tech University.  Some other events include: Messianic Mics 2002 in Philadelphia,  Sound The Alarm 2002 in Baltimore, and First Fridays in Philadelphia. They have ministered at other various local D.C. venues such as, Gospel Fests, youth services, revivals, and events, as well as, in Virginia and North Carolina.  They have ministered in the Noyes, Montgomery County Juvenile Detention Center where God blessed the ministry of His word and many were moved to place their trust in Christ.  Going through many various trials of life?they have carefully moved forward seeking God?s will and direction?releasing the CD project entitled ?The Mind of Christ? in May 2002.  Their debut CD did well enough that they were nominated for best new artist of the year by "What's The Word Magazine." Although at times they feel the ministry has progressed very slowly, they know that God has used these various trials and the situations to prepare them for the present.
