2:58
guys I will definitely ride like this
3:00
man miles minck man where did you come
3:03
from brother like when when when when
3:05
did you
3:06
decide that you were going to become
3:09
this artist and that your messaging was
3:11
going to be based around faith and in
3:15
God what at what age did you decide this
3:18
yeah yeah really good question so when I
3:19
was a teenager I was in them streets you
3:21
know what I mean doing all kind of music
3:22
in the Bay Area like the Mob music the
3:25
gangster music the get active music like
3:27
that's when DLo was popping DB the
3:28
general like all that music you know
3:30
what I'm saying so it wasn't until I was
3:32
about 17 years old when I was like I was
3:35
in the church a little bit not really
3:36
going consistently um but I had a talent
3:39
show on my high school when I was 17 and
3:41
the judges for this talent show were
3:42
Christian artists okay and I said if I'm
3:45
a win this talent show let me do a
3:47
Christian rap song and I did the song
3:50
the school went crazy to a Christian rap
3:53
song won the whole thing I said Okay God
3:55
like what if this is what you're calling
3:56
me to and so I be to invest investigate
3:58
that you know what I mean to the Lord
4:00
and eventually when I gave God my heart
4:02
I didn't just give him my church
4:03
attendance but I gave him my talents as
4:05
well when you say leaning to the Lord
4:07
did you did you study like how did you
4:10
lean in did that mean you had to did you
4:12
go to church three times a week did you
4:15
do Bible study what what what did you
4:16
mean by lean in Yeah by leaning in I
4:18
mean I went to church every single
4:19
Wednesday Wednesday to a youth group
4:21
okay yeah in Pittsburgh California at
4:23
new Destin church we was there every
4:25
single Wednesday um and I had like all
4:27
of my friends like still in the streets
4:28
so nobody wanted to go with me I would
4:30
literally either take the bests or my
4:32
dad would take me every Wednesday and
4:34
through that I found mentorship
4:35
Community you know what I mean then
4:37
eventually I became like the youth
4:39
pastor in that same church were you
4:40
smoking and drinking prior to all of
4:42
this oh for sure for sure and and during
4:44
it a lot of the time you said that way
4:46
too excited like you know what I
4:48
mean you still got urges you still got
4:50
just God God had to work on me brother
4:53
yeah it was it wasn't easy for sure okay
4:55
but you okay and then you you made that
4:57
decision how did it change your music
4:59
music though I mean did you use the same
5:01
producers or did you go out did you have
5:03
to seek out other producers yeah yeah so
5:06
I definitely you know I think I think
5:08
when you change your your your direction
5:10
your circle automatically changes a lot
5:12
of the time okay you know what I mean so
5:13
you lost a lot of friends you know the
5:16
friends that I was around at the time
5:17
they they wanted to do what I what I
5:18
used to do which is smoke all the time
5:20
drink all the time and spend the day
5:21
doing that and it's like I had a
5:23
different a different Focus you know
5:25
what I'm saying with that Focus you find
5:26
people who have the same focus in the
5:28
same direction and so out my boy DARS
5:31
one of my main producers out of the Bay
5:33
Area and uh yeah man let have a tight
5:35
circle of of of you know creative
5:37
community that helped me get this this
5:39
point across that's interesting cuz when
5:41
you usually make that decision we we
5:44
made a decision uh how what we wanted to
5:46
do with this show in particular
5:48
absolutely you guys know me from doing
5:50
Sway and King Tech Wake Up Show you know
5:52
probably when we did we used to do sway
5:54
in The Breakfast Club back on KML we
5:56
used to do the 10:00 bomb on KL sway in
5:59
the morning we started off one way but
6:01
our intent uh was to uplift you know not
6:06
be afraid to speak on our faith you know
6:09
we we apply that in our daily
6:11
conversation because that's who we are
6:13
and we weren't afraid of who would fall
6:15
off the tail side U when we did it you
6:18
know we stood on it because we feel like
6:20
that's what people who listen to us uh
6:22
can use the most right yeah um in the
6:25
Bay Area I'm not sure who the the
6:28
Christian ERS are right who are they
6:33
like coming out yeah right now man I
6:35
would I would I would say for a long
6:37
time there was almost no one that's what
6:40
I thought there was almost no one you
6:41
might get a song from somebody that
6:43
might you know talk about you know God
6:46
saved them from the street or something
6:48
but so now have you influenced the
6:50
movement but but I would say who really
6:51
kicked it off who influenced me is
6:53
transparent transparent Dwight Taylor
6:55
Senor he dropped the song called one way
6:57
the Bay Area sound a SW with that joint
7:00
I'm in the music video sneezing going
7:01
crazy and that really gave birth to my
7:03
wave with CJ emis you know what I mean
7:06
and Tommy Zuko to where we started the
7:08
Fest in the Bay Area and now you seeing
7:10
a lot of Christian artists start to pop
7:11
up shout out to nk4 shout out to to uh
7:15
man who else we got popping off um that
7:18
boy Josh P oh yeah J Josh P going crazy
7:21
it's like a whole wave popping off right
7:22
now it's crazy I I get a lot of
7:25
um you also have people who protested
7:30
you know they'll protest glow Fest right
7:33
this is interesting man you know you
7:35
even speak about this one of the songs
7:37
Christians hating on Christians right uh
7:40
people protest uh glow Fest because they
7:42
feel like the music itself is more
7:47
satanic you know influence satanic which
7:50
is crazy yeah yeah what you I mean but a
7:52
lot of folks say that especially people
7:54
in the church when it comes to rap you
7:57
know when it comes to hip hop and and
7:59
faith music what is your response to
8:00
that yeah my response to it is like man
8:02
if if
8:03
we're we have the same motive as a lot
8:06
of these people who are protesting us we
8:08
just have different methods right and so
8:09
I think you should judge the motive and
8:11
not necessarily the method our method is
8:13
you know cut them lights on little Haze
8:15
machine the Bas in 80 go crazy utilizing
8:18
the culture to reach the people instead
8:20
of um abandoning your culture and trying
8:22
to wear a three piece suit that's too
8:23
big for you and some Gators and a watch
8:24
is falling off your wrist you know what
8:26
I'm saying like we to reach a culture
8:28
you got to speak the language of the
8:29
culture
8:30
and so at the end of the day are people
8:31
being blessed and impacted at these
8:32
shows yes are people making decisions to
8:35
follow Jesus at these shows yes and are
8:37
they packed out and lit yes yes going
8:40
crazy y'all selling them out right each
8:42
time how many people in attendance in
8:45
attendance oo anywhere between uh 900
8:48
1200 uh
8:50
1400 and it's growing it's growing about
8:52
a month for sure MH is there such thing
8:55
as Christian drill there is MH tell me
8:58
about this there is yes shout out to my
9:00
boy dkg Kai from Detroit you know he
9:03
going crazy with that joint uh it's it's
9:05
that drill music it's that Christian
9:07
real music that real music like it's a
9:09
certain aggressiveness and energy to it
9:11
you know what I mean and you know
9:12
Detroit and the bay have always been
9:13
like cousins wow in a way I like this
9:16
man miles menic is that your real name
9:18
that's my real come on man all right
9:20
cool man we having fun right now uh I
9:23
played a clip and you were speaking
9:25
about gender roles oh yes sir you and
9:28
your wife you're lovely wife and and you
9:30
was saying sometimes that uh a lot of
9:33
times in relationships would go wrong
9:35
I'm paraphrasing is that people not
9:37
playing their role women are playing the
9:38
role of men men are playing the role of
9:41
women I thought Tracy and Heather be
9:43
would love to hear you explain what does
9:44
that mean exactly go ahead yeah yeah
9:47
yeah so so for us you know a lot of
9:49
times in our culture we get fall victim
9:50
to that being raised by single mothers
9:52
it's like we lean on the woman for a lot
9:53
of different things right uh but for me
9:55
I don't want to I don't want to stand on
9:57
that that stigma or that cycle I want to
9:59
on what the Bible says right the Bible
10:00
says when a man finds a wife he finds a
10:02
good thing to find something you got to
10:04
search for it pursue it and go after it
10:06
you know what I mean and a lot of times
10:08
um um I you know we could see women
10:11
taking the charge and being being the
10:12
the leader in a lot of different ways
10:14
but for our household is like no I I
10:16
don't want that to be the case and so
10:18
originally when we were getting married
10:20
she was the one taking charge you know
10:23
uh booking the venues planning
10:25
everything you know making more of the
10:26
money and so I made the executive
10:28
decision I said wait a minute wait one
10:31
minute I love you I want to marry you
10:33
but I want to do this correctly let let
10:35
me get my stuff together let me get a
10:38
better job let me get health care let me
10:40
get us a house to live in before we jump
10:42
into this thing let me take care of you
10:44
you know what I'm saying because even if
10:46
you look in the Book of Genesis when it
10:47
comes to Adam and Eve God made Adam made
10:50
the garden then Eve came Eve came into
10:52
an already functioning system Eve came
10:54
into a garden that was already popping
10:55
and blooming with Adam there you know
10:57
what I'm saying and so that's what we
10:58
want to stand on and live by
11:00
okay um I like that Heather you want to
11:02
respond to that at all what what are
11:03
your thoughts I'm married 23 years my
11:05
answer going to be so different you
11:06
could go to Tracy okay Tracy that's why
11:09
I that's why I wanted your
11:11
answer all right Tracy he found me
11:14
already
11:16
so no I can I can I can appreciate that
11:20
Insight I think um the other part to
11:23
consider as well is that each individual
11:25
has their own personal strengths and
11:27
weaknesses so some times we look at
11:30
qualities through a very binary lens and
11:33
maybe even stereotypical where it's like
11:35
all women are going to have higher
11:37
emotional intelligence right or all men
11:40
are going to have the ability to do
11:43
heavy manual labor or whatever the case
11:45
may be or or maybe not as emotional
11:48
versus I know some folks where you know
11:52
even thinking about the household chores
11:56
there are some dudes that actually want
11:58
to cook cook more you know what I mean
12:00
but that's traditionally looked at as a
12:02
woman's place but you go to a restaurant
12:04
and the majority of chefs are male so is
12:06
there also room where we are looking at
12:11
that individual for what their gifts and
12:15
skills and natural interest and desires
12:18
are yeah absolutely you know I think
12:20
there are some some foundational things
12:21
we like to stand on which is like as as
12:23
the man you know foundationally I want
12:26
to be the the provider the priest and
12:28
protector of the home right if I'm
12:30
providing I'm I'm taking care of the
12:32
house and the kids you know I'm
12:33
protecting that means I want to be the
12:34
strong one the one that that's looking
12:36
out for danger you know and the priest
12:37
I'm setting their Spirit spiritual
12:39
foundation for my home and so anything
12:41
outside of that it's like you know it's
12:42
fair game like uh like for Tina she has
12:46
a knack for building the furniture I
12:50
don't like it'll take me it'll take me
12:53
hours to do it you know what I'm saying
12:55
but you do that joint in like 45 minutes
12:56
and be done what is that about though
12:58
man could put together some furniture
13:01
yeah I don't I don't understand it I
13:03
don't know y'all don't have patience is
13:05
that what it is it's the patience you
13:07
don't want to look at the instruction
13:09
you don't want to look at the direct you
13:10
don't want to do any of that so it's
13:13
true I cannot for the love it could be
13:16
Ikea like I just can't do but go ahead
13:18
man
13:20
lost it's fresh on my mind it's the
13:22
other day you know she built something
13:24
and I'm in the corner like man I should
13:25
be doing this but it's her strength M
13:28
man can see man give this man a big
13:29
round of applause right so how long have
13:32
you guys been married we've been married
13:34

14:02
that his wife has set it up beautifully

I bet too I bet she had it mapped out

14:08
amazing because she set it up and he
14:11
wasn't where he would wanted to be he

17:25
reverence that I had to check him out
17:27

there's three crosses right that's a big
17:37
church we never thought we was welcome
17:40
there when I looked up and seen that he
17:42

17:45
said he gotta be the man wow what church
17:48
is that three crosses oh three crosses
17:51
okay right there in Castro Valley with
17:54
with the because I seen them saying they
17:56
had a sold out venue in Castro Valley
17:57
and I'm saying what venue was even in
17:59
Castro Valley yeah yeah and so that's
18:02
how I found out that he was a Christian
18:04
rapper because once I seen where he was
18:07
at I said oh he's a Christian rapper but
18:08
I listened to the music and had no clue
18:12
yeah yeah man we want we want to speak
18:14
the language of the culture you know
18:15
what I mean I like to say we make slaps
18:17
with substance where it give you that
18:18
same feel you hear on one sis cameel or
18:20
something like that but like when you
18:21
really listen to it there's there's
18:23
meaning to it it get you closer to the
18:24
Lord you know what I'm saying and that
18:26
three crosses we did glow Fest there we
18:28

out go fishing or something yeah go to
18:49
the Delta all right uh rap you got any
18:52
questions for
18:54
him yeah I just uh got one question like
18:57
I heard you say that you was in inuenced
18:59
by like DLo and DB the general like
19:02
going to the studio and translating that
19:04
sound into faith-based music how was
19:08
that process like how did you did you
19:10
think you needed to change the sound
19:11
first or you went straight into that
19:14
sound uh so for me I definitely didn't
19:17
go straight into the sound I
19:18
experimented with different sounds you
19:20
know what I mean but once I went back to
19:22
my roots like back to what came most
19:24
naturally to me which is that that 102
19:27
BPM that you know you know what I'm
19:28
saying 98 BPM uh with them with them
19:31
808s like it started to just hit for me
19:34
you know what I'm saying cuz that's what
19:35
I come out of I'm cut from that I'm cut
19:36
from the the DLo and DB General era but
19:39
also the hyy movement with E40 and Too
19:41
Short he to sneak all of them so when
19:43
you cut from that you know what I'm
19:44
saying it just it just come out of you
19:46
naturally hey RAB man you had a good
19:49
time at the Blue Note Jazz
19:51
Fest a beautiful time man a beautiful
19:54
time that was that was that was my
19:56
highlight for the summer no doubt man
19:58
hey man well we love hanging out man
20:00
give it up for Lord RAB no vur podcast
20:03
hey man I'll talk to you soon R all
20:05
right tell CLE uh tell CLE I believe him
20:08
on the pictures he he look little
20:09
photoshoop my cousin CLE went fishing in
20:11
Clear Lake was sending sending
20:14
pictures tell them I believe him now RAB
20:17
okay all right okay I give it up for
20:20
Lord RAB all right yeah um I mentioned a
20:24
couple MC's and that that come from
20:27
faith based base rap of uh Christian rap
20:31
and one of them whenever I mention how I
20:34
got involved in the '90s right I was
20:37
putting people on the Wake Up Show King
20:39
teeken I was through T-Bone T-Bone are
20:42
y'all familiar with T-Bone t-one okay
20:46
yeah right right and he from the bay too
20:49
yeah right nor whatever I bring up T
20:51
T-Bone is a good friend of mine right
20:53
and and and when he first conver made
20:56
his conversion um T-Bone came from the
20:59
streets you know was in um in one of
21:01
those gangs and uh almost lost his life
21:04
literally chased on foot and hit in the
21:07
bushes shoes ripped up at the bottom and
21:10
the dudes that was trying to take his
21:11
life ran by him but before they ran by
21:14
him he said
21:15
God please get me out of this if you do
21:19
and you know the rest right absolutely
21:21
and they ran right by him and then from
21:23
that point he uh submitted his life to
21:26
God at that time um he was hanging out
21:29
with teken now we put out a we produced
21:31
a lot of his early music we start
21:33
bringing him on the wakeup show because
21:35
we realized that the what you're talking
21:36
about the language of the culture yeah
21:39
wasn't being properly presented in rap
21:42
and T-Bone was a ill ass MC yeah and so
21:46
we were able to create a way where he
21:49
could be heard uh and then his his
21:52
message could be heard to those who
21:53
needed it most right and so to me he and
21:56
and so I did a whole lot of going to
21:58
concerts and trying to find folks now
22:02
it's different you know the the MC's
22:05
that are coming through Christian rapper
22:06
rapping better than the ones that are
22:08
doing secular
22:09
rap I say that again say that again swag
22:12
the MC's that are coming through
22:14
Christian rap are rapping let me say as
22:16
good if not better than those who are in
22:19
secular rap right time look at lrae look
22:22
at Andy Mino going crazy John Keef just
22:25
put you know that heat on I know he
22:27
repeated the same verse did before he
22:29
didn't think I knew but he put that heat
22:32
on you
22:36
know I know he didn't think I knew but
22:38
he did so good I didn't want to say no
22:40
it was great and then it's yourself is
22:42
that a like do rappers who come from the
22:45
Christian uh genre of rap go man hey man
22:48
let's we got to up our bars MH is that a
22:51
thing well and a lot of ways you know if
22:53
