First and foremost, giving all praises to GOD, double honor to Bishop Thomas of Fresh Oil Ministries, to all the Elders, Ministers, and people of God.
My personal influences was some of the earlier rap artist like LL COOL J, Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, and the Fat Boys. Then I began to enjoy The Hot Boys particularly Lil Wayne and Juvi, Z-Ro and The Guerilla Maab, NAS, TI. Eminem, and others.
Just to clarify, I apreciate these brothers art form and skill, but that doesn't mean I agree with everything they say.
Since I've been involved with HHH, some of the people I look up to most is Saul Paul, Tre-9, KNine and B.Reith are like my favorite artist right now. The Warriors and SOM are my favorite groups at this time. Levester White and Marv 4 Mo Beats got the production on lock! I believe God is taking Christian rappers and producers out of the box and allowing us to relate with the people more efficiently. We can't keep scaring the lost sheep. We won't them to return to there first love, not be chased away by the jealous zealous fan club : )

I'm trying to reach souls... not just entertain other Christians.
God has called many to the body. My ministry goes beyond my music and the walls of the church. What I do is not "Christian Rap", but I am a "Christian Rapper" None of my music glorifies me, but what God has done for me and what he's doing for me. My music is made to crossover, but never to compromise. Not everybody is called to do what I do, but when you get someone to speak against what I'm doing, when I'm called by God, that in itself is not of God. Everything I speak is of a positive nature and of God. Just because I don't say Jesus Jesus Jesus in every song, doesn't mean that the principles and the substance of my music is not of Christ. People have to start looking at peoples heart and stop judging them because they are not doing the same exact thing that they are doing. What I do does not conflict with the WORD of God at all. Besides it takes more than a song that's full of scriptures and condemnation to reach the world. It takes leg work. That's why I witness, that's why I go to the street (in 3d) with it to gather souls. So as long as what I'm doing is reaching at least one, I'm doing my job. The only way non Christians are going to be drawn to the ministry is if they allow the spirit to draw them in. People from the world are not always drawn to the spirit by the typical gospel lyrics. I refuse to cater my music to one set of people. I can't please everybody, so if someone doesn't feel like I talk about Jesus enough, they are not listening hard enough. They are reacting to the music as a non-believer. See I want the sinners to hear my music even if they miss Jesus the first time they hear it, because it might keep them listening. And once they buy the album and hear it a couple times, then it's too late. They've been sold. Thats exactly what the devil do to us. We be listening to songs that got a good beat, buy the album, and then realize that we just bought an album that's more than just beats and lyrics. It's a plot of the enemy. So I'm taking that same concept. I apreciate all the feed back that I get from people both good and bad, but if I listen to what everybody say, then my ears will be too crowded to hear God. Pass this along to anyone and everyone who has questions about B.L.U.E and the Holy Souljaz. Thank you so much for hittin me up. I hope what I said blessed you.

"I knew you before time began. I know how many hairs are on your head. Like parent, like child, you're created in My image. I have plans for you. I've also given you the 'gifts' needed to fulfill them; and what I give, nobody can take away. But don't neglect them;exercise them, and stir them up daily. rest assured, I've started a good work in you and I'm going to finish it. I always complete what I begin. My Word concerning you is forever settled, and My commitment to you is unending. In this life you will have challenges, but cheer up; I've robbed satan of his power to control you and the world of its power to destroy you. When you'rein trouble remember. I'm present to help. Give Me your burdens and I will sustain you. When you're stressed out and worn down by the pressures of life, lean on Me. I will be your rock, your fortress, your deliverer and your strength. Even though you fail from time to time, you won't be discarded because I am upholding you. But a word of caution: don't take advice from those who are spiritually blind and don't hang out with skeptics. Delight yourself in My Word and likea big oak tree growing by a river, you'll prosper in all you do. P.S. I'd love to hear back from you."
"And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in God, and God in him."
