PROOF (Holy Hip-Hop)
P.R.O.O.F. is completely "Flippin' the Script!" B.R.I.C.K. spits knowledge from the heart of a minister. SCOPE seeks to help the lost See Clearly with ridiculous speed & unheard of style. Revelation is the hottest Female MC PERIOD!
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him Colossians 2:6
Trials & Tribulations are not strangers to P.R.O.O.F. They have struggled through artists joining & leaving the group which has strengthened their team of three to withstand pains of "Band" relations to find comfort and help in each other to see the fruits of their labor. Each Artist's style is unique, they each bring their own flavor & life experience, yet they share the same passion for Christ and leading the lost to Him.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Ben Brickhouse (19) has always been told by people around him
that God had a call on his life,
but didnt decide to explore it until he was 16.
He has battled with sexual temptations and alcoholism,
but after becoming born again in Christ,
these strongholds have been torn down
and his spirit has been rebuilt.
Ben fully gave his life to Christ in 2002
and since then has been spreading the gospel by speaking to
and rapping for various groups and congregations.
Ben officially started P.R.O.O.F. in October of 2004
and continues to lead the group
as B.R.I.C.K. . . . Born Rebuilt In Christ the King.
Aijné Williams (22) has always had a passion for lending a helping hand in any possible case.
God has seen him through many tough situations during his progressive walk with Christ.
These learning experiences have given him special perspective
when it comes to his unique lyrical talent.
His main focus is to speak to and reach youth at a simplified,
real level relative to what they go through every day.
His desire is to show them how his faith in the Word has allowed him to persevere through challenging situations.
With that, he hopes to show the new level God has brought him to.
At the request of Ben Brickhouse, a long time friend,
Aijné joined P.R.O.O.F. in October of 2004 and has become
SCOPE . . . he wants to help you See Clearly.
Angela Smith (18) has always had a passion for music,
whether it was rapping or playing the saxophone in the school band.
As a military child she spent most of her childhood in Germany where she accepted salvation at the age of 14.
Continuing to learn and grow in Gods Word,
Angela started mixing her love for Jesus
with her passion for rap music and its culture.
It was revealed to Angela that her purpose was to make known Gods self-unveiling of true knowledge of Him
and His purpose regarding His people through her desire to rap.
So when Angela met Ben Brickhouse at Old Dominion University
in the summer of 2004, she eagerly accepted the invitation to join P.R.O.O.F. . . . now she has become Revelation.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, P.R.O.O.F. loves to Minister Live and they love to enjoy the opportunity to interact with those of like precious faith. They also thrive off of seeing souls won for Christ through their work.
Your musical influences
B.R.I.C.K. - The Phanatik, Common, Pete Rock & CL Smooth
SCOPE - It's Funny because my music influences are the lack of good gospel hip hop. No disrespect to the great music out right now but there's not enough of it and I would love to be a big part of changing that about gospel music. I would have to say that Da Truth is my favorite gospel rapper.
Revelation - The Cross Movement
