SHORT BIO ABOUT REASON (YOU CAN CALL IT MY TESTIMONY):
Born Ricardo Jerome Butler in Orlando, FL on December 12th, 1978. I picked up my love for hip hop in about 85' when my uncle used to play Run DMC and D.J. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince records. I grew up around bass music like DJ. Magic Mike before it turned into the booty (then unto crunk) movement. I started off in hip hop as a graffiti artist, then into hip hop dancing and afterwards a little break dancing. But after I heard the Nas/Illmatic album one New Years Eve in 1994 going into 1995, I declared myself a rapper and hadn't wrote one single rhyme.
Earlier on in life I did poetry and one a lot of the contest in middle school. But I had no idea I actually liked to do it. The Illmatic album captivated me. Around that time Christ had been calling me prior to that, but I didn't understand the going to church thing, why all the division, different denominations, or doctrinal differences, or anything like that. The only place where I saw unity was in the streets among the gang members. I joined the Black Gangsta Disciples and ran with folk nation all the way up to prison. More on that later. So actually, I didn't start really walking with the Lord until 2004.
Anyway, I picked Bishop as my first rap name. The reason why I changed it to Reason is a whole other story. But I started out with a group of three. We called ourselves Physiological Ruckus. It was me, Mygrane (who is now part of Open Campain), and Skrapie (who is now past away, RIP). Then me and Mygrane became Mental Dizkreshon with DJ Murdoc (who is now the other half of Open Campain, now do you get that picture?). So I got married had a daughter, served in the Army for 3 years, all the while still doing hip hop for fun, not looking for a record deal. (And I’m still not looking for a record deal. My record deal came from Jesus anyway).
Finally my life took a turn for the worst. I caught a domestic battery charge fighting my former wife, and ended up in the system. Then I ended up violating my probation. The judge sentenced me to 18 months in prison. The same day I was sentenced was the same day I knew without a doubt in my heart and mind that God had been calling me. And I just said to myself I couldn't run from God's call anymore.
My life was basically a Jonah story. I missed my mark when I was younger. But now the Lord got me back on track. When I was in prison, I asked the Lord, "How can I still do rap anymore?" My heart was still dirty, and my tounge was full of bad words. I haven't even heard Christian hip hop before. So I had nothing to like motivate me or something to show me how to do it.
At the time I asked the Lord that question, I was reading the call of Moses. God had asked Moses what was in his hand. And Moses told God he had the staff or rod. And God asked me a similar question. He said what's in your hand Ricardo. I said a pencil and some paper. He said "Just write, I'll do the rest." In one week I had wrote the entire "God's Armor" album. And after I looked over it, I could not take any credit for it. I fell on my face and cried like Peter did in front of Jesus on Peter's boat concerning the fishing net situation. God asked me, "Did you ever wonder why you know and quote so much of My Scriptures, and people come up to you and ask you how did you learn all those Scriptures, and you said you didn't know, that they just seemed to pop into your head." I said yea. And God was like, "I did that, so that when you wrote your songs all you would be doing is rhyming Scriptures."
And that was the day when Reason Disciple and God's Armor Ministries was born. It was January 8th, 2005 when that took place. And God has blessed me with a new godly wife as well and my third child. Now I have 3 beautiful girls in my life that God has placed in my care. And I will continue to follow Christ as He leads, guides, and corrects me.
"But (I) sanctify (separate unto myself) the Lord (Jesus) God in my heart: and am ready always to give You all an answer to every person that asks me a "ReAsOn" of the hope (or Jesus Christ) that is in me with meekness and fear (or humility and respect)." (1 Peter 3:15 author paraphrase).
