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. |
