Christ'd - Out
CHRIST'd - Out...the gospel hip hop soldier who spits a GOD or die flow and bangs out heavy hittin beats.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I started off as a secular rapper, (Kid Drastic) but as life progressed so did my music. After crossing over to gospel hip hop, I became "H20" and rapped with a group called "Soldiers For CHRIST", out of Liberty University. After we went our separate ways, I became a member of a Trio out of Liberty University called "4 Feet Deep". Soon the third person left the group, leaving me and my life long friend, Rao Rock(Brooklyn NY). I once again changed my name to "Virt2ousgame" and our group was called "Spotboom". After a few years Rao Rok and I decided to branch off. During that time I have faced the most difficult part of my life that I have ever faced. I have fallen many times. However, I'm determined to fight back with HIS WORD and my music. No matter what, I will not give up. So now...I'm "CHRIST'D - OUT"
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes I play live at different youth events, churches, parks, or wherever my presence is requested. I like it but it also takes a lot of energy and focus. You have to try different things with different crowds.
Your musical influences
gospel rappers(Cross Movement, Corey Redd & Precise, Shekinah, and many more) Gospel singers, old school rap, classical, jazz,people like the Chi - Lites and Blue Magic, secular rap, underground rap etc. It's something that I can learn from all genres of music when it comes to delivery, arrangement, and style.
What equipment do you use?
mpc 2000XL, yamaha motif rack, yamaha grand piano, tascam 2488
Anything else?
I would like to thank everyone for checking me out. I would appreciate your support of the "City of Gold" mix cd that I have out. Also, please contact me for the purchase of beats as well. There is nothing but love from me. Thanks
