DJ Official was a mentee of Hip-hop artist Cipha Sounds in the mid-1990s when both got out of high school. He was a member in the Christian hip-hop collective 116 Clique. He released Entermission on December 29, 2009.[7] It allowed him to crack the Billboard charts with his first album.[8] Cross Rhythms rated the album a nine out of ten,[9] and Rapzilla said “With Entermission DJ Official did much more than cement his legacy as a producer.”[10]
DJ Official was also a part of American-based Christian Hip Hop rap group The Cross Movement and collaborated with many other Cross Movement Records artists such as Da TRUTH and Flame to name a few. He served (Cross Movement) faithfully as their DJ for eight years in the mid-1990s into early 2000s and has been a long-time friend thereafter.
