| Releases: | [Triple Impact] [Fired Up] | | Info: | Michael Kennedy also known as M.V.P. (Messiah's Valuable
Property) was born and raised in South Carolina by his
mother Evelyn until he was eleven years of age. At that time
his mother remarried and they moved to Tucson, Arizona. This
was his step-father's final military duty station.
Rap
M.V.P. has loved rap for as far as he could remember. At the
age of 14, he joined a Christian rap group called the
Underground Shadows of Wisdom after committing his life to
Christ. M.V.P.'s tenure with the group was short lived
though due to his failing grades in school.
Gangs
After performing in the group for a year, and with no more
positive friends around him when he departed the rap group,
M.V.P. found new friends who were involved in gang related
activities. By the age of sixteen, he was hanging with
members of a crip gang called the Eastside Hoova Crips. They
accepted him into the gang, and due to him always keeping
his head bald they named him lil' nugget.
Army
By the age of eighteen, M.V.P. was already arrested for
crimes varying from grand theft auto, to grand theft
larceny. His grades in school never got better, and his
parents feared the worst for him. The gang life took its
toll on M.V.P. when he was arrested for burglary and facing
time in prison. M.V.P. was fortunate though when he managed
to enlist in the military before his court date was
scheduled.
Altar Call
In 1998, upon leaving the military after four years, M.V.P.
found himself at another crossroad in his life. Feeling
empty inside and wanting peace in his life, he found himself
in a church service one Sunday afternoon. After the sermon
the pastor gave an altar call that M.V.P. just couldn’t pass
up.
Name
Two months after recommitting his life to Christ, M.V.P.
began writing and performing Christian rhymes again. He gave
himself the name M.V.P., which means Messiah's Valuable
Property, based on the scripture, James 1:18. He also chose
that name because he wanted to be an M.V.P. in the Gospel
rap industry as well.
Label
In May of 2000, MVP started Divine Flava Records and began
working on his debut album entitled "Fired Up". This would
also become Divine Flava Records’ first release. The album
got distributed by Grapetree Records. |
