My Experience In Hip Hop

My first public performance of any kind was back in 1993, I rapped to a karoake of Chris Cross 'Jump' at the Pier Amphitheater in Oceanside, CA had the crowd rocking it was a fun feeling. My first live performance doing rap that I had written over a beat I produced was at a Mars Music store open mic a friend invited me to. He failed to mention it was put on by CMT, I placed well & got recognition for my writing abilities, placing better than a friend of mine who did an original worship song and another friend who did an original acoustic song. I started rapping as a Christian emcee in 2003 with a group we formed called SoulFire. I supervised the independent release of our album Fired Up on my XDC Record label. I also promoted us statewide and nationally, getting us on a cable battle of the bands show in which we received second place performing a song I wrote and produced. After moving on due to members getting married and moving I started the Dallas/Fort Worth Holy Hip Hop Alliance to bring artist and churches together we did some really successful shows Faze1 Final Fridays & Faze1 First Fruit Fridays, along with others shows in conjunction with other local ministries. We also had local meetings for artist to network, build and grow. For a season I worked for Dj Maj's Virtual Frequency as their Dallas representative, helped get the show back on the air, as well helped plan and promote a Virtual Frequency Christmas show at The Neotropolis in Carrollton, TX. After that I started working for Tre-9 and Much Luvv Records as their marketing and promotion manager, getting "The Next... Now!" album reviewed by the like of OkayPlayer & into such store as UnderGround Hip Hop as well as putting out mixtapes to promote Much Luvv Records releases. I promoted to magazines and radio CY's The Ringleader as his publicist for a while. I have also worked for the All Eye's On Me Achievement Awards as their media and Red Carpet coordinator for three years.

Interests:

Brief Biography: I'm a hip hop artist, producer, promoter, publicist, poet, songwriter, mentor, preacher, blogget, graphic artist and artist. I grew up in the gang infested neighborhood of Deep Valley, Oceanside, CA and now reside in Dallas, TX until such a time that God moves me back to CA. I am a very driven person who lives to make an impact with my life and musical content. I picked up the nickname AddLibbz for my ability to flow on any topic and ad-lib of any comment and freestyle. I have made mixtapes to put out to use as evangelistic tools and have put out mixtapes that have been listened to over 35,000 people under the Dj alias Dj XDC (X-DarqChyld). I started making mix tapes (when they where still actually tapes) to help kids off the streets of Deep Valley switch from hardcore secular hip hop to positive gospel rap, while bringing them to church on the church bus. We would also set up linoleum and cardboard putting gospel rap on and letting them break dance as part of our cross cultural ministry. We also had a monthly Saturday Night Alive ministry that focused on reaching the Hip Hop generation through Hip Hop, Stomp, Mime, Break Dancing, Modern Paise and a short to the point message. From this I saw a passion and need for positive music that effects kids from the streets for positive social change. During this time God gave me a chance to mentor some youth and lead them into a deeper walk with Christ. I've had a few brushes with my 15 minutes of fame, starring in episode of Beach MTV in 1993, along with receiving some local news coverage.

My New Crew (Secta 7)


I am now with Secta 7 a crew of emcee's who've been in the ministry for years, heavily impacted by the Nazerene or foundational Jewish heritage of Christianity. We are an underground group that has ministry credentials going back to the 80's including the Ministers Of The Underground TV series that aired on TBN. I'm one of the newest members. We are Spiritually Deep crew because were contextually deep. We don't spit Dogma, we spit Scripture and engage in Spiritual Warfare against satanic forces while spitin compassion for the afflicted. We are a missional and biblical group. We are united against darkness. We go into dark places to spit the deep good news! We spit Genesis to Revelation not just John 3:16 or Eph 4:8 we include the context such as John 3:17 and Eph 4:10. We spit the Context that's deeper than Dogma. We spit Theology and history against false religions. We are Spiritual Warrior emcees, weve honed our gifts in Rap Cyphas. We spit the mystery of God in Parables, Psalms and Proverbs. We adress Politics and Social Justice its the paradox of the Good News we use to bait and hook them. We can lyrically hang with and handle the roughest darkest wickedest emcee. We spit to the depths of their soul. Winning souls is wise, We must be crafty as a serpent yet gentle as a dove. We are fighting in the gutters and trenches for the souls of men while many faithless take the easy cop out route. We have a strong overseas and international following because our Underground status, Lyrical Prowess and Spiritual Depth that speaks too many in Slums, Barrios, Hoods, Wards, Ghettos and Shante Towns around the world. My mission is to represent a Biblical Paradigm to the masses through the using the communication tool of Hip-Hop to break down Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Barriers to making the commitment to be a lifeong Disciple of Yeshua.
