Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
During his days as a secular rapper he went by the name "Jay" and was known throughout the Chicagoland area. In 2001 he redeicated his life to Jesus Christ. After taking some time to get a foundation in the Christian faith, he began rapping again. This time with a new name and a new message. Didymus a.k.a. Twin was the name God saw fit for him. In 2002 Twin hooked up with Nate a.k.a. I-Illa, and Armond a.k.a. Golden Child and they formed a group called "Tha Christian Brothaz" which would eventually gain quite a bit of recognition for their WestSide Chicago brand hip-hop that's power packed with the Word of God. Now in 2005 Twin has released his first solo cd since his rededication. It's an EP called "The Old Me Dead" with 7 songs plus a skit and a prayer. The full album will be out this fall.
