THE BEGINNING From the streets of Brooklyn , The Rapper is well known for spreading a positive image from state to state. Upholding the mission to spread the word of God to each and every individual he reaches. I was Recently asked, Who is Chuuch Crum? What Image does he Deliver to Me? And how do I believe he touches the people? My answers is pretty simple. This Man Brings the Flavor In Hip Hop without even trying to be "Noticed". He has a passion for his music, his people and God. He is able to move the souls that are in the church, the streets, and the more intense areas as the Hood. His Music is for all people, all ages but he definitely hits home with the younger Generation. What makes him so Unique than anyone else, you have to listen to this mans emotions in his voice. His Delivery is brilliant, The way he connects with peoples souls you simply cannot compare him to anyone else in the game. He is sincerely One of Kind. He is Challenging others to bring their A game!! THE INTERVIEW I recently gotten a chance to Interview this young man, And i must say the experience was intriguing . Just to even witness up close and personal how he allow God to use him in his studio sessions. "I have to step outside for a minute" he said . Leaving the Booth and the engineer, "I feel his presence all over me" Its Amazing to actually see a moment like that. This man is all real. No games, No faking, And absolutely no pretending. In the course of the studio session I was able to ask him a few questions. His Message for One of his Latest Mix tapes "JUDGEMENT" is simply how can you Judge me? We All have Sinned And Fallen Short of his Glory, so how can you judge me? How can you Judge someone based off of their past when God has already forgiven them? How can you hold something over their head that God has already wiped Clean? Only God Can Judge Me " THE OPPORTUNITY I was astonished to be blessed with the opportunity to be featured on one of his songs off the mix tape "JUDGEMENT". He said to me "You will be my First Feature","I haven't even done one with Ill Will yet" When he told me that i immediately received the jitters. and senced my nerves about to have a breakdown. So many thoughts begin to travel in my mind. "Would I be good enough" "What if He doesn't like my verse". A big relief swept off of me the moment when i rapped my verse over the phone and he told me It was Dope. Just to even think that gave me a new level of confidence in myself. I am more than blessed to have the opportunities i have had with Chuuch. Because of him I am so much better than what I use to be. One thing he have said to me that I will always remember is " Never rap from your Intellect, But From your Heart." He have pushed me to do better. be better. And with that alone I will always be grateful . He is A great Artist, Friend, And business partner. THE PURPOSEI believe that Chuuch Crum's purpose goes way further than making music. The energy in his voice, the passion he chooses to deliver to his Fans is ludicrous. You can literally feel the presence of the Lord voice when this man speaks. He can take the Drug Dealer on the block and have him drop to his knees and surrender. This is how Powerful this man's purpose is. His Drive is like no other. The compassion , late nights, no sleep, on the go , go getter mentality for people to get saved is awesome. I have never seen some one so ambitious yet consistent with what they do. He is All about trusting those instincts. When God gives him a song he stick with it and the finish products always amazes me. Your talking about someone Committed. Someone Hungry. Someone Determined . Then Look No Further than Chuuch Crum. All of his music will have you begging for more. He will never disappoint you.

Don't Hesitate to Click on the links above to rock out to Jesus Christ in a Major Way. Much Love to you Chuuch Crum and my God continue to Bless you and your music Abundantly!

I'm just a typical African American brother On A sunny day me and my bros hangs on the corner Its been a long week at work I must say Just to hang with the fellas for today shouldn't send any harm my way We see a cop drive by slow and stop He watch . then slowly drives off.... Me and my brothers neither is dismayed by this officers ways . we are use to getting observed and a few slurs. Maybe a long stare gazed upon our attire and hair. Or even a few questions as in "Why are you out so late. Where you heading. And if I run your tags will they come back up to date? But see, Me myself . I am not applaud by this propical cause because I have a few close friends who skin isn't like ours. But I'm aware of some cops and how they tend to share this fetish that my people is relentless . neither less I protest that I keep my character of justice . every one is equal under the united states sequel But has lately been contradicting and lethal. I continue to stand there with my boys laughing and talking making a little noise When I see this police car turn back around in a circle and stop right in front of us like his mission was to call out one of us for a warrant in the hurdle. He slowly point at Me and say "Don't you look familiar? You look like that same guy back in September that I arrested for burglary at that corner store between Johnson street and benders. ..hmmm "No sir I'm sorry to deny your assumptions But I have no record misdemeanors felonies or nothing. I strongly recommend that you recheck your logic for I am not the guy you think is convicted for such charges." -He stepped out his car . call for back up. Told me shut my mouth up and put my hands up. Confused and afraid of my life I still try to convince him that he has the wrong guy. I start to speak words mumbling my hands start fumbling not because I have a weapon but from fear of being arrested Neither less he put his gun up at my head And just for me trying to stand up for my rights and defend my life now I'm dead I'm sure if I was another color . white to be exact he would've kept driving his police car And never looked back. The Taunted Past. From the time you open your eyes in the morning to the time you lay down at night. To the grocery store, on your way to work, at the kitchen table this past is still dragging on your coat tail. You feel down all the time. You try to shake it off but its stuck there. Like A stain on your shirt. The Slightest thing triggers your memory to think about something that happened in the past. You cant seem to grasp hold of the future and what awaits for you there because somehow you found yourself stuck in time that has already taken place. You want to move forward but its just to complicated to think about how too. Truth be told , even though this past of yours make you sad, angry, depressed and distressed you still hold on because it comforts you. Because your use to this pain. You done held on to it for so long , you question yourself who will I be without it? Is this who I am? Does this define me? Your scared to let it go. your afraid to face tomorrow so you face yesterday instead. You are scared of failure again, Your are afraid of another heartbreak. You are scared of disappointment and you are ashamed to face future failures. So besides letting go you hold on to create excuses for yourself to be the way you are. You create excuses for yourself to be afraid, to be ashamed, to not love again, to not trust again, to not try again. I'm here to tell you my friend, that your missing out on so many blessings that's waiting for you. Your missing out on new opportunities that God has set aside for you to have. your missing out on that new job, that new relationship, that new position, that new raise, that new friend, that new door that waiting for you to open. Why be so afraid? Its waiting on YOU, Success is there waiting its just missing YOU. I know you are tired of holding on and everyone says "Oh just let it go" But no one knows how hard that can be to do so. When you wanted something so bad its hard to not still wish for that. Its important to lean on Gods understanding and not our own. If something is meant to be God will bring it to past in his own timing. That doesn't mean sit and wait..on the couch..with your head hung low..until "what you want" happens . God knows our deepest desires . and he also knows what is best for Us. Give your burdens and troubles to him. Psalm 55:22, reminds us to cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. He hears you every cry and he knows your deepest pain . Trust in him that he will never leave you of forsake you. He wants you to live A happy life. he wants you to be successful and he wants you to be full of joy . Whatever it is that is hindering you to be all the God has ordained you to be . Give it to Jesus.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come Its not easy coming up in high school being picked at. Sitting at a table by yourself or getting called lame or a weirdo. It not easy not having a lot of friends. Or feeling like you have to change yourself to fit in with others. You tried the changing yourself thing and it just didn't quite work out. You always wonder why you always stood out from others, Why is it you feel "different" . Or why is it that I'm not the most liked, popular, or I seem to be uninteresting. Trust me I know exactly how you feel. Because I done been there. .personally. I been that kid and its not a good feeling, But once I grew stronger in Jesus Christ , I realized that I was never meant to fit in , I was created to stand out. That's when I notice that I was a misfit and chose to embrace it than run from it. 1 Peter 2:9 reminds us :But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. God has Created Us "The Chosen People" to help bring people closer to him. He have given all of us a purpose to use in his kingdom. It is up to us to find the special gifts he has blessed us with and use them accordingly to his word. Its not easy being young and a Christian. I know. All the temptations. Everyone in your ear saying lets go to the club, lets smoke this blunt, lets have sex even though we aren't married, lets go sell drugs, lets twerk, lets go steal this, lets go rob them, why you don't curse, why you so uptight, seems like people drag you from left to right to get you to do wordly things and you don't want to disappoint anyone. You don't want to get looked at as boring, lame because you been hearing that probably your whole life. But you have to believe that God will place that right friends in your life once you choose to let go of those who mean you no good. Sometimes even family you will have to learn to love from a distance. Accepting the fact that you are meant to be different because God Created you that way for a reason can release that anxiety of wanting to be like "them". Once you accept that fact . You can help "them" come closer to Christ and understand who he Is. John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? And my All time Favorite Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Accept that you are Different, God has A Calling Over your life. You are very Important to Jesus Christ and He Needs You ! He is Never home! He Claims he have to do overtime! Sometimes he even volunteer! He always with his Boys! He stays at his momma house! He sleeps in the other room! He always plays that stupid game! He always at the Gym! He never wants to talk to me! Why is he always on that phone? Why is he always gone? He must be cheating! Stop assuming. Stop blaming everyone and everything else. have you ever thought at lease once that YOU could be the problem? Yes I said it. Maybe you are the problem! ......Well..... how am I the problem? STOP that Nagging all the time. A man doesn't want to be around a woman who is always complaining. every time he turn around you got something negative to say. The poor guy cant even come home from a long day of work without you nagging about something that happened 2 years ago. maybe the problem is you. If you are a nagger, a complainer and you know it. Let me help you out. Because if I don't you might end up loosing your man. Time always makes you appreciate things after you realized what you had. Lets not get to that point. Have you ever heard "Bag Lady" By Erykah Badu? Go listen to it today. Just For Tiffany. I'm going to give you a few helpful steps that can help you be a better partner . You Ready? ok here we go 1. Stop living in the past.
This is incredibly destructive and hurtful for anyone to grow into becoming a better person. If you’re going to bring up things, bring up the positive things. Let it Go! Sit down talk about what's eating you alive. why its eating you alive , and what can be done to help you move on from that situation. Don't Hold the Past over His head. If he is willing to change for you than that proves that he Loves you. No man is perfect so give credit to one who tries. 2. Stop broadcasting your relationship We all have problems, but telling everyone and everybody isn’t going to solve them. Venting to your girlfriends will make you feel better in the moment, but it’s important to remember it’s YOUR relationship, not theirs. Lastly, when was the last time you ENJOYED someone talking about you and your personal life behind your back… never? Yeah, him neither. NO SOCIAL MEDIA. I repeat , NO SOCIAL MEDIA. the people on your facebook could probably care less and its just being nosey . Don't open up a door for outsiders to see that your home isn't happy. 3. Replace judgement with compassion When you judge your boyfriend, fiancé or husband, you are defining the person you are, not who they are. Take a second and rather than thinking negatively, think positively, about their intent. For example, when your husband or boyfriend doesn’t respond to your text, don’t assume “he’s ignoring my texts”, instead imagine all the GREAT reasons why he may not be responding. Maybe it’s because he was busy picking up a bouquet of flowers for you or looking up restaurants ideas for date night. When we collectively work on removing any judgement and look to compassion when things don’t go our way, it opens our hearts to love that person more for who they are, not what terrible label we put on them. 4. Avoid using the phrases “always” and “never” I use to do this all the time. They are such extreme words, that the second we hear them it discredits all that we are saying because there’s a good chance it’s not 100% true that we “always” or “never” do exactly what you are saying. Simply remove these words from your vocabulary if you want to see any successful change or positive shift in your relationship 5. Be nice and playful When your always complaining it doesn’t make your significant other feel good about themselves, period. The least we could do when we communicate problems or issues in our relationship is to be nice about it. Being playful or humorous works as well. The less we attack and the more we love, the more effective we are. Harsh words will only shut a person down, so warm them up instead to get the action or change you want. Be nice, be playful, have fun Lets Face It. Arguing with your Partner Can make you want to pull your hair out! Go to your sisters house, even downtown to the bar for a few drinks. The Constant back and forth over the same things seems relentless. Why doesn't She understand me, why isn't she listening? Sometimes you feel like a roller coaster ride going around and around in the same circles. When will it end? We all been there. Even so, going through it at this very moment. The Question is, what can you do to help your relationship. What can your partner do And how in heavens name can we Get Along Again? You Love your Partner and you are WILLING to do what it takes to make this thing work. Well...I can help you with that.
First thing, Relationships isn't ran off Computers .They exist between two emotional human beings who bring their own past experiences, history, and expectations into it. Two different people also have different levels of skills when it comes to communication. But since it is a skill, It can also be learned. I have four helpful skills that i hope can help you. Step 1: God Make God your foundation. Your relationship is doomed for failure if you do not put God in it. He is your source, your provider, and your answers to ALL things. You and your spouse should take into consideration of accepting God as your Lord and Savior. Grow in Christ Together.Read The Bible Together and Pray together. God should always come before anything and anyone, Your partner is NOT your God, and if you treat them as such..God could take them away from you. To Possibly Show you that you should be dependent on him. Not Man. I'm not saying that your relationship will be all sunshine and flowers. But now you have the necessary tool (The Bible) to help you get through the difficult times Together. Learns God definition of Love and Learn to have that same kind of love for your partner. Step 2: Listen How many times have you heard someone say this or read this in an article about communication skills? How hard is it to actually do when you’re “in the moment?” Harder than it sounds. When we’re knee deep within a serious discussion or argument with our significant other, it’s hard to put aside our point for the moment and just listen. We’re often so afraid of not being heard, we rush to keep talking. Ironically, such behavior makes it all the more likely we won’t be heard. 3. Be open and honest with your partner. Some people have never been very open to others in their life. Heck, some people might not even know themselves, or know much about their own real needs and desires. But to be in a relationship is to take a step toward opening up your life and opening up yourself.Little lies turn into big lies. Hiding your emotions behind a cloak of invincibility might work for you, but won’t work for most others. Pretending everything is alright isn’t alright. And giving your partner the silent treatment is about as useful as a fish with a bicycle. In the desert. At night. These things may have “worked” for you in the past, but they are all barriers to good communication.Being open means talking about things you may have never talked about with another human being before in your life. It means being vulnerable and honest with your partner, completely and unabashedly. It means opening yourself up to possible hurt and disappointment. But it also means opening yourself up to the full potential of all a relationship can be. 4. Stay focused On The Topic. Sometimes discussions turn into arguments, that can then morph into a discussion about everything.To be respectful of one another and the relationship, you should try and keep the discussion (or argument) focused to the topic at hand. While it’s easy to get in the cheap shots or bring up everything that an argument seems to call for, just don’t. If the argument is ostensibly about who’s making dinner tonight, keep it that topic. Don’t veer off down the country road of who does what in the house, who’s responsible for child rearing, and by the way, who cleans the kitchen sink.Arguments that do veer off tend to escalate and grow larger and larger. One party needs to make an effort at that point to try and de-escalate the argument, even if it means walking away from it, literally. But do so as respectfully as possible, saying something like, “Look, I can see this isn’t going to get any better by discussing it tonight. Let’s sleep on it and try talking about it with fresh eyes in the morning, okay?” |
