Background
He started rapping at the age of twelve and spent time dancing with GRITS during the mid-’90s. His debut album, The Syllabus (1999), and his second album, The Action Figure (2000) were both fairly successful for gospel rap. His first album under the name “Verbs” (Unlocked) was slightly delayed when he spent six months in South Africa on a mission with his home church in Nashville, Tennessee. He is to release the highly anticipated Groundwork Theory on September 18, 2007, under the new label 1280 Music.

His lyrics take a middle-ground approach between the explicit doctrine of the Cross Movement and the poetic musings of the GRITS.
