Dyscyple has been rhyming since 1995 to inspire listeners through Holy Hip-Hop and bold statements combined with killer beats help him do just that. Growing up on the West Side of Detroit without a father-figure to guide him, things could have gone very different for D, but instead of walking the wide road of the world, he chose the narrow path of the Lord.
3. DA MINISTA - John Miller's Son...Still Preachin'
Malaco
Tim Miller has served as the Pastor for Candlelight Ministries in McCoomb, MS for over ten years now, but he has rapped for more than two decades. So for anyone who questions how you can preach and rap at the same time ... DA MINISTA is your answer!

Kirk Franklin calls Da T.R.U.T.H.'s release The Faith, “A perfect marriage between the streets and the soul, The Faith is Hip Hop at its finest representing the Lord Jesus Christ! The music, lyrical genius and hypnotic hooks all prove that we can be “in” not “of” this Hip Hop dominated world.”
5. Spanish Kid - Tha Dog is Out
Divine Flava
Steve E. Sanchez Jr. aka Spanish Kid is in music for one reason ... to reach as many lost souls as possible ... because he knows what it feels like to be lost. As a teen he made some bad choices, but God never turned His back on him and Kid was shown the narrow path that God had chosen for him. His music ministry is Kid's way of walking that path.
