Jarred AllStar and Parry Illest add testimony to Born in the Hood Raised in the Church with a deluxe edition.

Published on May 9, 2025

Born in the Hood Raised in the Church (Deluxe Edition) is a bold, spirit-charged offering from CHH lyricist Jarred AllStar and producer Parry Illest. Building upon the foundation of the original release, this deluxe edition transforms every interlude into a fully realized track, expanding the album into a deeper, more immersive experience.

Fusing gritty hip hop with the soul of gospel and the heart of the streets, the project showcases Jarred AllStar’s lyrical sharpness and theological insight over Parry Illest’s richly layered, melodic production. Each track pulses with authenticity, tackling eternal themes like Heaven, repentance, and the daily war between flesh and spirit, while still honoring the cultural rhythms of the block.

From anthemic hooks that uplift to introspective verses that challenge, Born in the Hood Raised in the Church (Deluxe Edition) is more than an album—it’s a testimony. It’s a soundscape where street scars meet sanctified salvation, unapologetically raw and refreshingly redemptive.

Jarred AllStar Bio

Jarred AllStar is an Independent Writer, Producer, Rapper, Singer, Engineer and Pastor from Long Island, New York. His music reflects his mantra “born in the hood but raised in the church;” with a charismatic, robust yet polished delivery chock-full of faith-based punchlines and tropes.

Jarred AllStar’s music resumé humbly boasts a diverse background in music. In the mid 2000’s he was making music almost exclusively for the winter sport freeskiing. He was the voice of prominent sports brand Salomon Freeski TV, and was featured in sports publications such as ESPN.com, Powder Magazine and more. After what he would describe as his “wilderness experience,” Jarred returned to his gospel calling; focusing only on Christ centered music in 2018 with the release of his award nominated album, “Water and Wine.” Now the career that has taken him across the globe from stages in Annecy, France to Montreal, CA has brought him right back to the 7 year old who stood on a crate to preach the Gospel.

It is this wealth of experience and the constant reminder of purpose that makes Jarred AllStar’s current music his best efforts to date. Since entering the Christian Hip Hop scene God continues to open countless doors for Jarred; cyphers, Hot 97 features, festivals and over 100 songs released since the year 2000. Through his union to Davina (singer/rapper), Jarred not only found his wife but the Co-Owner of their budding music label; Humble Brag. The two have been releasing captivating music spreading the gospel to believers in non-believers alike through whatever subgenre of Kingdom Music you choose to use.
