I'M NOW BORN AGAIN BUT I CAN'T STOP RAP MUSIC - MUSICIAN CONFESSES

Veteran act, 2phat in a recent interview has
disclosed why he can’t stop singing despite
finding Christ and giving his life to him. According
to the rapper, there got to a time in his life when
he knew he had to find Christ, and indeed he
found him, but that won’t take him away from
RAP! He also spoke about why he let go of his
famous dreads and why he has been off the scene
for some time. Enjoy!

Let’s talk about you taking a long break from
music.. what happened?

I never fully left music, I do some other things
apart from music so I decided to give them more
time than music for a while.

You let go of your dreads which everyone knew
you for. Don’t you think it was part of your
brand?

The dread was for a season and I believed that
season was over. Even though it was done to
enhance my individuality and it later became part
of my identity. But I believe my identity actually
lies in my music.

How did you come about Jesus?

Well I got to a stage in my life where I knew I
had to get closer to God. I needed to make him
the center of all I do because I couldn’t do some
of the things others (especially in the industry)
were doing. I realised God was all I have, so I
had to be closer to him.
How has it been since then?

It’s been great and my life has been much more
better.

You just dropped a new single Isiewu on
Wednesday. Why still circular considering your
new relationship with God? Are you not supposed
to be churchy?

Circular or Gospel, music is music. Music is
meant to be enjoyed. I do not box my self into
those categories. As an artist my music must
reflect who I am.
I might not be able to say some things or use
some words because I don’t use them in my
personal life. I might not be able to compromise
in the name of commercial music but I as a
christian I’m meant to influence my world and
that is my focus. Relevant songs that you can
easily relate to even if you are a christian or not.
