2:57
to just get out of the week? What do you want to experience?
3:00
Are you here in Vegas during Stellar Week? You know what? During in
3:05
Stellar Week, I'm looking forward to get in the education about music, networking
3:12
with new artists, making connection with family and friends like yourself, and making
3:16
sure that you know, we all just continue to support gospel music because that's
3:22
my heart that we make a noise for gospel music so that we can put
3:25
it to the plateau that it needs to be. Come on, I know
3:29
that's right. And man and yours, especially hip hop, you're on the
3:32
front lines. You know what I mean. You are the queen of holy
3:36
hip hop does to God be the glory, that's what they call me.
3:39
Oh man, that is exciting you. Okay, So what the projects are
3:44
you working on now? Do you have anything coming up? What can we
3:46
expect from Lady C in the near future. Yes, right now, I
3:53
just finish a product that's called The Anthem with their Mind Glanton, and right
3:59
now, you know, we expect to finish up our tour. So I
4:02
have about seven more locations this year, so make sure you go follow me
4:08
on my social media and I am lady to see Jack and meet me at
4:12
one of these locations. And right now we're just really pushing this music to
4:15
the next level. And I'm mentoring other artists. Okay, that's awesome.
4:20
That's how you know, maybe we can network because I'm working with artists too,
4:24
so maybe we can do some networking. And and you got a great
4:27
network behind you. I've talked to a mister Archie and all the what is
4:32
it like, man, We'll tell us how important needs you to have a
4:34
good team back in Man, it is everything, especially with a team and
4:41
a management team that cares about their artists and deaths in to help them push
4:45
their vision. Because sometimes you have a team that want to push their vision,
4:48
but they hear your vision and we communicate and we push the vision together.
4:54
So I'm excited to be a part of the Archer Fellow Records label family
4:58
and embark Distribution and Publishing distributing our music out to over twenty five thousand you
5:06
hear me outlets, So we're super excited to be a part of that.
5:11
And right now I'm an executive director for Embarked Distribution. So not only am
5:17
I on the stage and helping artists, but now I am behind the scene
5:21
distributing and pushing and learning more about music out so that I can help other
5:27
artists. Come on, now, y'all hear that. Now, this is
5:30
a great connection to have, Lady c And I tell you, Man says,
5:33
I've known you. You've done nothing but encourage me. You've introduced me
5:38
to different people. You've always been trying to push our brand and then kind
5:43
of like bring us with you a little bit. So and that's rare.
5:46
It's that's not common to meet people that are selfless, because even though we
5:51
have gospel artists, everybody is not living kingdom, you know what I mean.
5:56
And I can say this personally that you're living king and you care about
6:00
the matter of fact, the Bible says consider others more than yourself. And
6:05
that's all I've gotten from you. I've always gotten that, I've always gotten
6:09
love and there like I got nothing negative to say about Lady c So and
6:14
that that means a lot, especially in his industry. Listen to God be
6:18
the glory again. We love you his op nation, and to me,
6:23
it's just a prime example of what we are all supposed to be doing.
6:26
I think Christ was the perfect example. He was selfless. He came down
6:30
here to do the love his father so that we can be joined back with
6:33
him. And I think that that that should be our ultimate ultimate mission,
6:39
is to be selfless and to think of others and to give, because we're
6:43
just here on assignment. We're just here instruments, that's all we are.
6:46
And if we can't impact the life and we can't help people connect to I
6:50
say, connect properly to God. Then what are we doing? What are
6:56
we doing? And so we got to continue to push one another and we
6:59
pray continue to bless you that He's sending the resources and capital to what you're
7:02
doing because we do believe in his op nation. Thank you so much,
7:06
and I thank you for the encouragement and that that goes a long way and
7:12
it doesn't go on. Notice, you know what I mean. We appreciate
7:15
every support, everything, and we told once we get that getting to that
7:18
position, you know, we will reciprocate. You know what I mean.
7:21
I believe in that love and stuff. You know. Right now we might
7:26
be the ones that kind of need to hand up, but when it's the
7:29
tables of term where we can help someone else, we're going to do the
7:31
same thing. So and I appreciate that a lot. I do. How

is already in the house, so you got some people pouring in. But
9:54
man, we had an awesome pre show, I tell you, man,
9:58
this thing went down and right now I'm gonna going to talk to my girl
10:03
and Mary Graysman, she really tore it up. Man. She really made
10:07
an impression on me with their music, with what she had to say about
10:13
Hallelujah. Anyhow, she was out saying that she had a car and the
10:20
car broke down. Right, You had a car and the car broke down,
10:24
and you wrote the song while you were in it broke down car talking
10:28
about Hallelujah anyhow? You know what I mean? Like that's real, that's
10:33
where it says. So I, Maria, how you doing tonight? I
10:39
am blessed. I'm excited. I'm just in awe of everything that I'm experiencing
10:45
right now. It's my first time and they get so on Mike the first
10:48
time. Come on, I tell you what I'm gonna get these headphones.
10:54
Can you hear me now? Or guy, you can hear me? Okay?
11:00
All right, Well we're doing this thing live. You know, we
11:03
are live on set. He got some live music going, We got some
11:07
more people coming up the after parties. He was about to go down.
11:11
So I'm glad to have you wiking. You said you reached out to me
11:16
before, and I'm glad that we actually had a chance to connect. You
11:20
know, it's one thing when you meet people online where you play people's music,
11:24
but we could sit down face to face and just feel their spirit then
11:28
look eye to eye. Man, that's just there's this's over. We're family
11:31
now you know what I'm saying. It was interesting because, um so I
11:37
came across your flyer for a club hens Hop and it was crazy because I
11:41
started a nonprofit company, the King's Court Ministry, and it was exactly for
11:46
that to start a Christian club. Now, earlier in the days, you
11:50
know, the Saints wasn't ready for that. But I just feel in my
11:54
heart that if if, if the world can have a club, why can't
11:58
we Why can't we be able to go out and entertain ourselves. Why can't
12:03
we be in an area but we don't have to work about being bobarded by
12:07
the world to one you know what I mean. We could lay back,
12:09
have money and praise God hold at the same time. So how to come
12:13
out from that Las Vegas so I can see a lot of in person,
12:16
see how you doing it, so we can link up and we can bring
12:18
this thing around the globes. Man, I love what you said. I
12:24
love what you said because you know, this is the vision God gave me.
12:28
God gave me the vision a club in every city, like if you
12:31
go to our website, like that's our vision. And I believe that this
12:35
is what it's needed because a lot of people are not paying attention to church.
12:39
You're not coming to church, especially the youth, you know what I
12:43
mean, the youth. And every time the devil, if you look through
12:48
history, every time the devil wanted to change the culture, he would do
12:52
it through music. Like look at the music, like back in the sixties
12:56
and seventies, ms of children, you know what I mean. He told
13:00
you to you know, shake their hips and started shaking their booties and take
13:03
off clothes and all that. They did that through the music. Do you
13:07
know what I mean? Thing he shocked the culture. And I'm like,
13:11
okay, well let's take that and give it back to God, his high
13:15
right. He took the culture back from the enemy, you know what I'm
13:18
saying. And I think that's why our genre gets so much warfare. That's
13:22
why it's such a battle because it's so powerful, and you know what I
13:26
mean, it's so palm. It's crazy that she said that the warfare is
13:31
real. Like when we got to before we even got to the plane,
13:35
we got into the airport, everything was paid for, we was ready to
13:37
go. We walked into the airport boot three hundred dollars we got to drop.
13:41
That was not playing for you know what I mean. And then the
13:43
enemy just tried. I mean, like everything he could possibly do through out
13:46
the trip, he could and it doesn't matter because at the end of the
13:50
day, God is going to get the glory what he wants. Nobody can
13:54
write. So it's just it's amazing how things working. I think it be
13:58
handsome what God's doing in your life when He's gonna be able to use us
14:03
to bless other folks. It's just real sorts. Come on, man,
14:07
this is awesome. This is this is amazing. Okay, I mean,
14:11
we can't look. We just connecting and we just fellowshipping and stuff. But
14:16
let let's talk about your music. Let's talk about your story. Why did
14:20
you or how did you get started doing music for you for the keen?
14:26
All right, So, like I said earlier, when I was when I
14:28
was minister earlier, I have been doing music since I can't remember right,
14:33
but I've always been in church. I've been acquired and things like that.
14:37
I've always wanted to see, but it was never an opportunity. There was
14:41
nothing, anything that would just break for me to get into the door.
14:45
Until three years ago I met my current husband now and we were just friends.
14:50
We you know, we we were on a brave team together and everything.
14:54
Um, long story short, he had a label, we got together
14:56
and we were just friends and God just started opening do wasn't just putting things
15:01
out there like do this and do that. And before I knew it,
15:03
I was being nominated for Female Artists of the Year for the Tampa Bay Gospel
15:07
Awards. I was getting nominated for awards and New Orleans in Texas, Like
15:13
it was just insane. So the thing was that I realized in this time
15:16
friend that what I wanted to do with my music for the world, God
15:22
wasn't with until I lined up and gave it all to him one hundred percent.
15:26
That's when he started breaking doors down and open things. And like even
15:31
my husband, I asked him two years before we before we reconnected, he
15:35
I want to be in your group. I here, you gotta group.
15:37
He was like, uh, he has only for men. And I was
15:39
like oh, And so that was like the end of it. And then
15:43
two years later I go to a friends who a support of friends video shoot
15:48
and it just happened to be wanted his artist and it was just like timing
15:52
a mind me. You know, it was crazy. And my first single
15:56
You Love Me dropped and from the air images like but quick short story.
16:03
So we actually were doing juvenile detention centers. We'll go to juvenile detention centers,
16:08
you know, minister to the youth and everything. At the time,
16:11
I was working for a mortgage company and I was like, Lord, I
16:14
don't want to do this anymore. Show me how I could do when we're
16:17
doing in this juvenile detention center. How I could do that? Full time?
16:19
Is still playing Mothers and God who end up? Now? One more
16:22
two comfortables where I'm a youth advocate, my husband to youth advocated. We
16:26
go we deal with children comment Department of Juvenile Justice that comes out of probation,
16:32
you know that kind of thing, and Department of Children Families. We
16:34
mentor an advocate for the laws and demanding youth of our community. And that
16:41
is truly our passion. Everything we do, even our music, is aimed
16:45
at you. I want to make sure that shifting that I'll hear more laws
16:48
who evaded that people have given I'm gonna I wanted to see guys. That's
16:52
our whole point. I pointed to at a guy who show these kids guys
16:56
love walk the walk show up with the booms like we believe it. We
17:03
believe, we believe in Christ, we believe in real life. So that's
17:07
where we are, man, friends, God, hallelujah. This is so
17:15
amazing. Man, that guy is just using you, you and your husband,
17:18
and you know what, the youth in particular, they really need to
17:23
see a husband and white team doing it together because they don't even understand what
17:29
marriages and the marriages they probably do see are so crazy. They're like,
17:34
I don't never want to get married. So wow, that's the man.
17:37
I'm gonna give a shout out to your husband I would love to talk to
17:41
one day, and me both of y'all. I believe the Lord is gonna
17:44
have us working together side by side. I believe it. I believe it,
17:49
and I think the Kingdom music, we Keendom music come together. You
17:53
know, the only person that gets all the glory is Jesus. You know
17:57
what I'm saying. And so oh, man, I would love to I
18:00
love your spirit, I love your music. I love it. Man.
18:03
I'm just I'll tell you left an impression on me. You know what I
18:07
mean. You got a great stage presence, you do and the way you
18:11
stop your shoes and suff Oh my god, come on up, she's giving
18:15
it. You know what I mean. I'm telling ya, if you ever
18:18
get a chance to see my sister live, don't hesitate. Go check her
18:22
out. And she's in the city near you, and she comes to your
18:26
city, make sure you guys check out a Mari Grace has a great testimony.
18:30
She's gonna send me her music, so you guys are gonna get familiar
18:33
with her music. I don't do I have your music already. To have
18:37
some of your older stuff, you probably do. You probably have Halleluiah anyhow,
18:41
and definitely you love me. But if not, I'm gonna make sure
18:44
you have tonight. Come on, come on, yes, let's connect for
18:47
real. It's like man phrase guy. And you know this really encourages me
18:52
because sometimes when you do this so long, you know, I started in
18:56
twenty twelve, and you know we've done event after event after event. Sometimes
19:03
you don't think people support you, think people don't appreciate. You don't see
19:07
a return. You know, in the world, you know they do it
19:11
for money. It's about them dollars, you know, But we're doing it
19:12
for the kingdom, so it's never really about the money, but when somebody
19:18
takes time out to acknowledge what you do or appreciate it or whatever, to
19:22
me, it goes a long way. It doesn't go on. Know,
19:25
I appreciate every bit because I got my favorite share of haters, you know
19:29
what I mean. I got my favorite share of people who want me to
19:32
feel. But the people who really support and love and that's what it's about.
19:38
Like it's a family, you know what I mean, It's love.
19:41
So that I appreciate that. I gotta feel that from you. Some more
19:47
encouragement things because the King's Court Ministry, which is my five of one C
19:51
three, has been sitting dormant for two years. When I seen your flyer
19:55
on Facebook, I went to my husband and was like, we can still
19:59
do this, This can still happen. So there was a lot more to
20:03
our our ministry than just the club. But that was my personal baby,
20:07
was the club. So to see that you're doing it and that you have
20:11
experienced some of the same trials we have made me think it back up and
20:17
be like I'll right, let's go, let's move. So God, congratulations
20:21
to you forgether giving up. I feel that Fris God, thank you so
20:26
much. I'm getting chills, man, I am thank you. It's like
20:30
it's it's funny, like you never know who's watching or you never know who
20:34
you can touch or whatever when you stay obedient, you know what I mean.
20:38
And it's like God, it's like like stay focused on God because if
20:42
you look at the haters, like like when Peter right when he saw the
20:45
win in the ways he started to see but it's like got to keep your
20:48
focus on Jesus. And and I tell you it was rough, but that
20:53
right there. Thank you that encouraged me, did that blessed me? Man?
20:57
And I'm if I can support you in any way, let me know.
21:02
At Okay, so what what do you do? You have any projects
21:08
you're working on to our audience where they can connect with you, as far
21:12
as social media on your website where they can download your music and what should
21:18
we be looking for? Um, when it comes to a Mari Grace.
21:22
Okay, so you can find me on all social media. I am a
21:26
Mari Grace twenty twenty at Facebook. On Facebook, I'm a Mari Underscored Grace
21:32
twenty twenty on Instagram. Um, i am a Mari Grace. But no
21:36

22:22
I just don't. I'm lost for words right now. I'm lots of words,
22:26
but thank you. This really, this really touches me to see what
22:33
God is doing in your life and just connecting with you and you're encouraging words,
22:37
and I know there's some amazing things that God has in store for us.
22:41
So let's stay connected. Let's I mean even even if we start a
22:47
prayer line or something, you know what I mean, pray once a week
22:48
or personal you know what I mean. I'm with it, like we need
22:52
to we need to take this in this spirit so it can manifest in the
22:56
physical. You know what I'm saying. So if you're down, let me
22:59
know. You know, definitely get your get your information. So I just
23:07
want you to shout out on anybody want to shout out, and I'm giving
23:10
you the last words. You know what I mean before he calls it out.
23:14
Okay, So I definitely have to shout out my one body family.
23:18
I have to shout out worship, Shady Church, our church family. I
23:22
just want to shout out Mary Christy and everybody who has supported me, the
23:26
GIN, the GIN Network that is the Gospel industry industry network for the Tampa
23:33
Bay Chapter dur At Homes. I just want to shout out everybody who has
23:36
supported me, Kenny see William Wheeler, the CEO. And then I'm gonna
23:41
leave you with this. My name is Amri Grace. A Mari is Yeruvian
23:45
for strength, and it is God's strength and his grace that I am still
23:49
here. I have dealt with suicidal thoughts. I have attempted at suicide.
23:55
My five year old called me from New York to Florida when I was holding
24:00
a knife to my wrist and told me that she loved me and wanted to
24:03
live with me, regardless if we were living on the corner in a dark
24:07
space. Like That's how real God is. And that's why I go so
24:11
hard for the youth ideal. I am bipolar, I have anxiety, so
24:17
I go real hard for the things that impact me because I understand that at
24:21
the end of the day, if God could do it for me, he
24:22
could do it for anybody. And this is my job to make sure that
24:26
I encourage the saints that it does not matter what we're doing, what we're
24:29
facing, what we're looking like, what it's going through, God still loves
24:32
us and He's got a plan and it's correct. Come on, thrains,
24:37
God, come on, man. I mean, I just want to praise
24:38
God right now. I mean, that's your so encouraging. Don't matter what
24:42
you're going through. The fact, you know, my mom dealt with us.
24:49
I'm the mom that was schizophrenia and stuff, right, and so I
24:52
grew up on but she was like abusive with it, you know what I
24:56
mean. So I grew up in an abusive setting. Keep her in prayer,
25:00
you know, because she's still kind of dealing with it. But it's
25:03
awesome to know that you've made it through that, like you had Guy walk
25:07
you through it, and even you're that's touching it. And your five year
25:11
old daughter said, I don't care if we you know, Box, like,
25:15
she wants to be with you. That's love. Come on, that's
25:18
love. And anything that the enemy tries to use to shut you down,
25:25
God, will we use it to turn it around. What five year old
25:27
knows about being on the corner in the street, she showed up, didn't
25:30
know it because I never let her experience it, you know what I mean.
25:33
So for her to call me at the right time, I will never
25:37
let that go, you know what I mean. And she's got anxiety and
25:40
she've got a lot of things that she deals with. So we walk this
25:42
thing out together. We just ate. It's one of them days for you,
25:47
right, I'm gonna leave you be, you know what I mean,
25:48
And we just kind of so, Man, that's that's my thing. And
25:52
I'm gonna tell you what Guy told him, because I asked him, I
25:55
got a song that I'm in the process of writing, and it's just I
25:56
need to understand. If you made everything perfect and wonderful, why am I
26:02
so messed up? Because the average person doesn't understand ADHD and anxiety. They
26:07
don't understand that. They don't understand we're crazy. That's what they're like.
26:10
We're crazy, But God said no, we're sleeper agents. Our time hasn't
26:15
come yet. That's why we seem crazy to the normal people right now.
26:19
But when our time comes, but we're gonna show the world exactly why we
26:23
were made unconventional. That's what it is. We're unconventional. I'm just sitting
26:32
here watching you talk, just sitting here just I'm just I'm just getting pulled
26:37
in right while you're talking. You have so much to offer. That's why
26:41
you were attacked. You don't know that half Like God is just given me
26:47
a glimpse on what he put inside of you. You guys so much to
26:53
offer, you know what I mean, There's so much in there. That's
26:57
that's why the enemy it's afraid you're like a threat. That's why you went
27:03
through what you went through because you don't know you are gonna impact a lot
27:10
of people and and just let guy bring that out of you. Like I
27:14
just saw that. Like when you were talking, I was like, this
27:17
girl don't know, like the treasure she truly is. You know what maybe
27:22
you do, you know, maybe you do, but what it looks like.
27:23
Wow, I'm like, man, I'm just I'm just I don't know.
27:27
I can't really say it, but I know the like the only spirit
27:32
is just like you, you got some some big things to do in the
27:37
kingdom, you know what I mean. And you're like gold. It's like
27:41
there's treasure in there that's got to come out, you know what I mean.
27:45
So God, Glory to God. No, I appreciate that because it
27:52
is an everyday battle every every day. It isn't. But look I believe
27:56
it that it isn't everyday battle. Some things you I appreciate the encouragement for
28:02
real. Man. All right, well, shout out to you guys.
28:06
Like I said, keep us in the loop. We want to support whatever
28:08
you're doing. Definitely get you on the radio, get you on the app,
28:14
give me all your information, your bio, website, whatever you got,
28:18
logo and all that. Then we'll put you on the app and send
28:22
people to you and stuff, and we'll keep up on what you're doing.
28:26
And definitely, if we got a project or something, you know what I
28:29
mean, we know, or if we got an event or something, we
28:30
want to throw you on there. So I like it. All right,
28:36
all right, I'm gonna let you have your evening back. We could we
28:38
could be interviewing all night, you know what I mean. So I'm gonna
28:41
let you have an evening back, and hopefully you know, this is not
28:44
the last time that we connect like that, for sure. For sure,
28:47
I'll be back a little bit doctor. All right, y'all, all right,
28:52
we're gonna close out this segment and we're gonna talk to some other artists,
28:56
so keep it locked, all right, all right, what's up?
29:00
What's up? That she's a boy and this is his high This is the
29:03
pre show after party celebrity basketball event right here in Las Vegas, Stellar weekend,
29:11
and we just had our showcase. And I love the fact that we
29:15
can showcase these artists. We can hear what they're you know, what God
29:21
is giving them and stuff, and then we can do the interview. Now
29:23
we got stuff we could talk about, you know what I mean. Now
29:26
we can talk, and I mean, you know, I personally experienced it,
29:30
you know what I mean. So that's all I like. When I
29:32
can personally experience and artists, then I like to sit down talk to him,
29:36
interview them. And your wife just interviewed. And I'm telling you,
29:40
man, guy's got some special things both of y'all. You know what I
29:45
mean. She told me a little bit about how y'all got together and stuff
29:48
like that. So man, I'm just telling you, keep up the good
29:52
work, bro. I believe Guy has really got some big things for both
29:53
of y'all. So right now you go. You go by the name of
29:57
scrappy. Love that name. I love that name. I don't know,
30:02
it's just that's cool. Scrappy, you know. Is it the scrappy or
30:06
is it past? It's pastor scrapping past subscribing. Okay, I like that
30:11
scraping. Come on down and h man, you got up there. You
30:15
did your thing. A very talented, very gifted I heard you got your
30:19
hands in production and other stuff or whatever. But let's get into your story
30:25
first. I think the most powerful thing the gospel artists can share is your
30:30
conversion story. So what made you give your life to the Lord, because
30:33
some people play with it. They hid part of their life, they give
30:37
half day life. But it's not until you give everything that doors begin to
30:42
open and God really begins to use you and annoying what you got. So
30:45
what was that moment for you when you just gave everything to the Lord?
30:49
Oh Man? That moment for me was about two thirteen. I came home
30:56
from work one day and I will I was married at the time. My
31:02
ex wife came home for work and see my bags pack. Um. You
31:07
know, my ex wife was Caucasian. So I got in her mother's car
31:14
and my mother in law and she just started driving. We drove about two
31:18
and a half to three hours literally did I know they had signed me up
31:22
for a three day men's retreat out in the woods, no cell phones,
31:26
no nothing, just men loving on men and and then talking about Christ.
31:32
You know, that was the turning point in my life. After that men's
31:37
retreat, they called the trades Das. I found out that there were men
31:42
praying for me for two whole years without me even knowing. It was like
31:48
fifty of them. They all knew me. When I got to this camp,
31:52
I didn't know them, but they'd all been praying for me for two
31:55
years and checking up on me. But they were talking to my mother in
31:59
law. They weren't talking to my wife, and they weren't talking to them
32:01
me. So that experience when I came home, oh man, when I
32:07
came home from that, that's what made me give it totally to Christ.
32:12
I always was in the church, but I was in the church and the
32:15
streets at the same time. I have a twin brother. He was the
32:22
good twin. I was the bad twin. So that's who I followed the
32:24
church, you know what I mean. So he kept me close, and
32:28
you know the words says keep them close, and they would not department.
32:30
So my parents didn't keep me close. It was my twin brother. I
32:35
wanted to idolize and be like, you know what I mean. So yeah,
32:38
twenty thirteen, man, I gave it all over man, Praise God,
32:44
Praise God. That's good man. And I know there's some people out
32:46
there that are probably in that same situation you were in, so sharing your
32:51
story and your testimony could be the turning point for them, bro. So
32:54
I appreciate that for sharing that. Okay, So let's get into your music,
32:59
my brother, So what made you decide to. Of course, you
33:02
got talents and gifts and abilities, and you could have went the other way.
33:07
You could have tried to go to the secular route. And as a
33:09
matter of fact, there's a lot of artists at starting gospel, so they
33:13
can end up in a secular route or whatever. You know what I'm saying,
33:15
which to me don't make no sense. You know what I mean?
33:19
You know why get the world los soul? But so what inspires your music
33:24
and to keep it one hundred? You know what I'm saying. I decided
33:32
I decided to start doing Christian hip hop. I was a member of a
33:37
church in Tampa, Florida called Crossover Church, under the leadership of Pastor Tommy.
33:44
They called him Urban d, one of the founders of Christian hip hop.
33:49
I was at his church. I was actually playing the congos. I
33:52
was in the band. I wasn't even rapping anymore. Then my best friend
33:55
called me from Saint Pete, Florida, and he was like, a scrapping
34:00
man, we're doing this. We're doing this Christian rap man. We need
34:02
we need you, we need you to come, you know what I'm saying,
34:05
to help us out. So it started out we just helping them out
34:08
with one song. We started. We started, We did a couple of
34:13
shows, and then all of them quit. Yeah, all of them quit.
34:19
They even left the church. So I was stuck by myself. We
34:22
had a should the next day and I asked my pastor. I say,
34:24
so what I'm gonna do about tomorrow? He said, well, are you
34:28
gonna do it yourself? And that's when I became a singer, I mean
34:34
a single artist I was. I started out in the group and then I
34:37
became a solo artist after that, So it took off from the I started.
34:43
I started a hip hop night called Chop It Up Tuesdays, and then
34:46
the rest is history. Come on, come on, I'm telling you that
34:51
this brother is good. He's got the goods. Man. He was sitting
34:53
here standing up on stage, man, and he just shared his music.
34:59
Bro, And I'm believing that you made some connections because there's some comments made
35:04
to me about what you did and all that. So I want my audience
35:07
when everybody to support our brother Pastors Scrappy, make sure you get his music,
35:14
support what he's doing, and why don't you go ahead and share your
35:16
social media and how people can connect with you absolutely. You can connect with
35:22
me on YouTube it's one Body Music Fam. Also on i G it's one
35:30
Body Music Fam and Facebook. Matthew Harris. That's my that's my government name.
35:37
Look up Matthew Harris and that's how you can find me, all right,
35:42
man or thank you for spending time here with his high radio. We
35:45
want you to make this your second home. So whatever you got, sendace

appreciate that. Man. Brother, you got any last shout outs? Yeah,
36:07
man, I just I do want to give a shout out to my
36:09
manager Martin. Yeah, man, I just want to give a shout out
36:15
to my manager Martin Christie for man believing in me and my wife. And
36:22
the last shout out is for my wife. In this industry is a lot
36:27
easier to do it when you got a partner that's doing it with you,
36:30
you know what I mean. So there's no jealousy or envy us going out
36:32
of town. We don't travel separate. We travel we travel together. So
36:37
it's a lot easier when you got a spouse that does it alongside you.
36:42
Hey man, all right, all right, man, thank you for spending
36:46
time with us here on his high radio. All right, make sure y'all
36:50
keep it lied. That's our brother passed to Scrampy. All right, all
36:55
right, all right, all right, yeah, back, this is the
37:00
pre show event. These are the artists that hit the stage during the pre
37:04
show event. And now we're getting ready to go ahead and do the main
37:07
event. The truth just came in, you know what I mean, the
37:10
after party, so that you just hit the stage. He was praying for
37:15
artists. He told us to be quiet because we sat back here talking an
37:19
interview. They didn't know it was over at the quarter. But uh so
37:25
now we had my brother man, my brother king, a little man.
37:30
I'm telling you, bro, you were a straight blessing man. You were
37:34
a blessing coming out for the fact that from one you came to Bible study.
37:37
Right, you came a Bible study. You know, fellowship in the
37:40
word. That's that's where he said, when you can get in the word
37:44
together and fellowship and then when you came to the venue, you helped with
37:47
chairs, you were helping whole time. I ask you to help me,
37:51
co host, help with whatever we needed, bro. And then that's a
37:54
that's an amazing spirit. Man, that's christ Like. You know what I'm
37:58
saying. So what's your's piration behind that? Uh? Man? God saved
38:02
me, man, that's my main that's my main inspiration. Man, God
38:06
saved me. He took me from he took me from the blog. So
38:14
yeah, man, Uh, God saved me. Man, he took me
38:19
from gang banging. Uh, he took me from prison. You know,
38:24
I was part of a murder for higher group. You know I was doing
38:28
about of sinister stuff. Man. So now I'm just happy to be saved.
38:31
Man. So whenever I can go to a king to me bent,
38:36
I support with my time. I support with serving you know what I mean,
38:40
because that's the major thing that I want to do, is just served
38:44
to people who are serving to people, because that makes sense, you know
38:47
what I mean? Sincere that that's where that came from. A man,
38:52
A man, praise God, Bro, that is awesome. That is awesome.
38:57
Yeah, this is after party. They got it cracking down. Know
39:00
what I say they gotta crack it all right, bro, So I'm telling
39:05
you your music is pomperful, your lyrics are powerful. You can tell there
39:08
it's anointed by the Holy Spirit. So what are you trying to accomplish your
39:16
music? Like? Once you see your music get to a certain place,
39:22
so go to a certain level. At what point are you gonna say?
39:25
Like, you know what that said, This is why I'm gonna do what
39:29
I do. Maybe I want to drown out every bit of negativity. Man,
39:37
all these secular artists, men that are out there rapping about killing,
39:40
rapping about sex, money, murdered, the whole nine. I want to
39:45
drown that out. Man. I want to be, you know, one
39:47
of the voices for the streets that love God. You know what I'm saying,
39:52
Like, I got partners that's still out in the street right now that
39:55
are you know, serving and you know, doing the wrong thing. But
40:00
they love God and they're afraid to come to church because of church. Judge
40:04
them. So my main thing with my music, more than anything, man,
40:07
I wanted to touch people. I wanted to give people an alternative.
40:13
And you know, by the grace of God, like I said, I've
40:15
been able to go to multiple prisons and Arizona, multiple prisons in New Mexico
40:20
and do tours right on the right on the prison yard, and I've seen
40:24
significant changes. Ro I'm talking about people would change their whole lives around from
40:30
listening to the music. And that's why my saying is, don't chase paper,
40:35
chase purpose, because if you chase the purpose, God's purpose, he
40:38
gotta fund that purpose. So the paper is gonna come, you know,
40:43
kind of like what your wife was saying. Man, if you're not doing
40:45
this, if you're not praying over your pen, paper, studio, engineer,
40:49
producer, if you're not doing that and not doing the stuff outside of
40:52
Sunday and Wednesday, what you're wrapping for, you know. So I want
40:59
my music to transcend to flood out all that negativity, you know what I
41:02
mean? Man, I know that's right. Like I was sharing about his
41:07
side, which avit takeover? You know what I mean. We're taking what
41:10
belongs to Guy, the devil perverted it and trying to steal it. Then
41:15
we're taking it back and giving it back to its right Polona. You know
41:17
what I'm saying. So that's the same thing driving out that negativity. You
41:22
know what I'm saying. So man, we got we got the same spirit
41:25
on that. I'm glad to leak up with you brothers. Definitely a pleasure.
41:30
Man. Why don't you give us all of your social media platforms,
41:35
your contact information, whatever you want to give to the audience anyone listening to
41:40
this podcast so they can connect, support you and all that good stuff.
41:45
Man, I appreciate it. I appreciate the opportunity. Man. My brother
41:50
Brian Herby One Nation under God. Man, that's my brother. Man.
41:53
Uh, he put me up on this whole you know event man, and
41:58
I made an appointment of man, take it out here. So you know,
42:00
you can reach me on Facebook under Derek King Littles that's Littles. Would
42:06
have asked. Instagram is at King Littles music music spelled muz i k and
42:15
let me seeing YouTube King Littles up under King Littles. And I'm on an
42:20
all streaming platforms man. And I'm very approachable. I'm always willing to come
42:24
out and serve. You know, I'm one of them people. Since I've
42:27
been doing it for the last two years, I ain't never asked for note
42:30
booking, no booking fee. You know what I mean, I always say
42:32
I'm available for free booking because I believe that the gospel, the gospel is
42:37
free. But ministry calls, you know what I'm saying. So if people
42:43
respect what you're doing in ministry, they'll saw a scene in to your life
42:47
without being grudgingly you know what I'm saying, because like the Bible will say,
42:51
you gotta be a cheerful giver. People don't want to sew into the
42:53
kingdom, man, you know what I'm saying. People don't want to sew
42:55
into what kingdom been is doing. And I'm telling you right now on air,
43:00
whatever his hop kneed, holler at us man, and we got it.
43:04
If I got it, I'm sowing it with no problem. I don't
43:06
need no explanation or none of that. All I needed, Hey, bro,
43:09
we're doing I need a little man. It could be a phone bill
43:13
because see that's that's gonna do. That's gonna take stress off of you.
43:15
If your phone bill do, you can't do kingdom work. You're ready,
43:20
you're trying to go. So people should be willing to sow into the kingdom,
43:23
so into people who are really doing kingdom work, like the word saying.
43:29
Timothy some do it for ill game, some do it for the you
43:32
know something really about it. But the gospel gonna still be preached. So
43:36
into these people, so w into them, so into his hop, so
43:39
into one nation of the God records Man, so into him. Man,
43:44
pray for him the main thing. And we're gonna be praying for you,
43:46
bro constantly. Bro. So y'all reach out to me, check me out,
43:50
get me up, and much love. Man. Thank you, man,
43:54
thank you all, thank you really thank you for the prayers. You
43:58
know what I mean, Because if it's now done in the spirit, is
44:00
not gonna be manifested in the physical. So thank you for the prayers.
44:04
I'n't want to start a prayer line. Maybe once a week or something.
44:07
Man, just getting get on the phone with people, you know, y'all,
44:10
people like I already talked to a mariin Grace, you know, and
44:15
man peak a day where we can all just come and pray for like ten
44:16
minutes and something, just touching prayer. Bro. Okay, I'm with that.
44:21
I'm with that, bro. I want to you know, a lot
44:22
of you know, what I noticed is a lot of people in the body
44:27
when we get mad at our brothers and sisters. For whatever reason it is,
44:30
they stop praying for each other. I got I can't even lie.
44:35
I got people that I dislike deep down the side in the body, but
44:39
I would never stop praying for them. I would never stop saying a prayer
44:45
for their families, for their well being because God put us all together.
44:49
Man, you know what I'm saying. So let's do that. Man,
44:52
Let's get this prayer line popping, man, and then really be about it.
44:54
And Man, if it's one thing I could say to people out there
44:58
listening, man, don't stop praying for people that you care about. Don't
45:00
stop praying for your loved ones. Don't stop praying for the people in the
45:05
body that you get mad at. It's okay to deal with people with a
45:08
loans, you know, long handles, boone. Let them stay over there.
45:10
Because one thing I learned about with the official body is my foot is
45:15
way away from my hand. It's far away from my hand, and but
45:20
we function but my hand and my foot they function in one body. So
45:23
but if somebody step on my foot, what my hand gonna do, go
45:28
right down to comfort it. That's how the body of Christ would really be.
45:31
If one of us is hurt. Let's comfort each other. It's one
45:35
of us is financially down. Let's help them. Let's get together and sow
45:37
a seed into them. So that's what I'm all about, man, is
45:40
real life unity in the body of Christ and loving and supporting each other.
45:45
So a prayer line is whatever, Like I said, whatever you need,
45:49
bro, whatever you want, whatever you want to start off doing whatever.
45:52
Bro, let me know I'm available phrase God. Bro, I'm with that.
45:55
Man, I with that. Man. You you haven't encouraged spirit,
46:00
man, You're an encourager, you know what I mean. I feel that
46:04
in you. Bro. Thank you man. You're so needed in a body
46:07
you know, and more encourages bro, like you're ready to go, ready
46:10
to do this thing. And what you're saying about finances is kingdom because the
46:17
Bible says you will reap what you sold right when you sew into somebody else,
46:23
that's a return that God is a generous guy, you know what I
46:27
mean. And God tells you to sew into other people, sewing in somebody
46:30
else, that's how you become rich. That's how God will keep putting stuff
46:36
in your hands. And also we made it easy because now we are a
46:40
nonprofit organization. So that's a nonprofit organization. That's a tax right off,
46:45
you know what I mean. And even if people yeah, and even if
46:50
people like we can you can get monthly like five dollars a month, anything
46:54
man can help sustain what God is doing in his vision. And not only
47:00
that, we have gift cards. Who where if you can buy gas and
47:04
grocery stuff you're gonna buy anyway, use our gift cards and we get a
47:08
procedugs back on once you spend. So we try to make it easy for
47:14
people to sue into the vision. So yeah, and everything's on our website
47:17
