First, I want to thank you all for checking out my album! It's truly an honor and a blessing to see this work appear. This album has been three years in the making! It's been a long road of patience and perseverance but it's paid off.

I can say honestly, that this album is very different in the world of "rap music". I thank God for the uniqueness the album brings. What makes it different? Primarily the production. All tracks with the exception of one, was produced entirely by me, Ray Massey II. I'm in love with the sounds of strings and low brass! Although there is no live instrumentation, I tried very hard to give many of the songs a "realistic" sound.

If you haven't guessed already, I'm a God-fearing man. I love the Lord and don't mind expressing my faith and beliefs to others.

I'm the oldest of four siblings, all of which are on the album. I played the trumpet all through high school and some in college. I also was the Drum Major for the Cassopolis Ranger Marching Band. After high school I was given the opportunity to play professionally in the GrooveSide Jazz Band. It was a wonderful experience that helped enhance my musical talent. It wasn't until the middle of my college career that I had a passion to become a Gospel Rapper.

Writing for the album was a form of spiritual therapy. For me, it was a great time to commune with God while being poured into.

God has opened so many doors for my crew and I that it's hard not to give thanks! By the way, my crew consists of Ryan Ray (engineer), Juic3 (little brother/rapper), and J. O. Crucial (rapper). These guys truly came through for me and I thank you all! Please, enjoy the album! If you aren't ready to purchase it just yet, that's just fine.
