Info:Tommy Kyllonen is the Urban Disciple or better known as Urban D, since the album the Tranzlation of 2001.

Philadelphia
He got raised in Philadelphia and strayed away from God as a teen, but recommitted his life to Christ at the age of 18. He felt a call from God to go into urban youth ministry and went on to study at Southeastern College in Lakeland, Florida.

pastoral studies
He graduated in 1996 with a BA degree in pastoral studies and a concentration in youth ministry and released his debut album called "keep it real".

Crossover Community Church
In that same year Urban D. founded the youth ministry at Crossover Community Church in Tampa, Florida. Over the next six years he developed a first of it's kind hip hop youth ministry.

Pastor
In January of 2002 Urban D. became the pastor of the church, so the congregation began focusing in on reaching the hip hop culture. A live DJ spins during worship as rappers mix in with the singing. Other aspects of this special outreach are a break dancing class, step team, choir, mc class, drama, open mic, poetry nights, concerts and a DJ/production class.

Record Label
Urban D also co-founded Fla.vor Alliance in 1998 together with Pablo Olivero (Rize of T.R.I.B.E.) out of the need for more unity and support among hip-hop ministries in the Tampa Bay area. The organisation was first called "Flavor Records", but later on adapted the name "Fla.vor Alliance" in 2000.

Membership
It should not be seen as a record label, all members are part of the Crossover Community Church to reach out and minister to children. The Church therefore also holds an annual Hip-Hop/Urban Ministries Conference called Fla.vor Fest.

Instrumentals
On July 16th, 2007 the MC made instrumental tracks from "The Tranzlation" (2001) album available on iTunes.

Distribution
In 2006 Urban D announces a new distributiondeal through Holy Hip Hop's alliance with EMI Gospel for his new album "Unorthodox".

Book & DVD
At the same time when the album plus DVD "Unorthodox" is released in May 2007, a book with the same title came out as well. A unique double release. The book is distributed by Zondervan.

Name
The project was first called "Unorthodox... : Where Hip-Hop meets the Church", but the final title is "Unorthodox : Church.Hip-Hop.Culture".

Hip Hop
From its roots in the South Bronx over thirty years ago, hip hop has swept across continents and oceans, shaping the music and mores of urban culture. It is more than just music. Hip hop is a lifestyle that encompasses attitude, fashion, and a largely counter-Christian worldview. Transcending ethnic, geographic, generational, and economic barriers, hip-hop places one of the church's biggest mission opportunities right outside our windows.

Model
Un.orthodox equips church leaders and parents alike to understand and engage a culture that is as near as our schools, our communities, and even our homes. Author Tommy Kyllonen has seen hip-hop from the inside as a recording artist, as well as through the eyes of a pastor whose congregation has set the model for a groundswell of young urban churches focusing on hip hop culture. Offering unique perspectives on the history, current state, and future of the hip-hop movement,

Ministry
Kyllonen shows what a hip hop targeted ministry can look like in worship, outreach, evangelism, service, and discipleship. Using his own story as an example, Tommy shows how you can combine the hip-hop culture with faith.
