| Releases: | [A chosen one] [Humility] | | Info: | Mr. REAL was born on the 14th of June in 1974. His name is
an acronym and stands for My Rhymes Realistically Educate
All Listeners. He made his debut release Humility on
Grapetree Records in 1999.
Gary
Mr. REAL's hometown, Gary, Indiana, was once named the
murder capital of the world. “A lot of people were killed
here,” said Mr. REAL. “I lived it all; experienced it
all.”
Many of Mr. REAL’s friends glamorized their violent
experiences until one day Mr. REAL snapped. “I got
heartless, and I didn’t care about people too much,” said
Mr. REAL. “I jumped off the deep-end and started drinking
and messing around with different women.”
Gang
Mr. REAL grew up in the church, yet turned to gang-banging
for attention because he didn’t feel he was loved at home.
Mistakes during his teenage years placed him in dangerous
situations. He was once mistaken for a murderer and almost
became a murder victim himself several times. Now, he
believes God ultimately kept him safe through all his
close-calls.
Escape
The birth of his first child finally helped Mr. REAL escape
from gang banging. “I looked at people around me dying, and
I decided I wanted to be there for my son,” said Mr. REAL.
For a while, he said he still had to watch his back.
Hip hop
All the while, Mr. REAL rapped to LL Cool J and Heavy D
using his older brother as an inspiration to start rapping.
Mr. REAL was a seasoned performer. He enjoyed a crowd and
would sing, dance, or act with brilliance. He performed in
school and church. He stopped rapping for a time, because
his mother did not agree with his music. He was enlightened
by God to rap strictly for Him. Even after his brother’s
passion for rapping faded, Mr. REAL continued to make a name
for himself globally. “I decided in 1993 that I would
perform my first Christian rap in front of a live audience,”
said Mr. REAL. “My little brother said ‘don’t do it’ because
they weren’t ready for it. So I got leery and
self-conscious, but I performed at a high school alumni
function and did really well. Plus, now my little brother is
a Gospel rapper.”
After Mr. REAL heard the Gospel Gangstaz, he felt God
calling him to join the Christian Rap Industry.
Compilation
Mr. REAL can also be found on the album "Repeat Offenders"
from Boundless Recordz in 2004. |
