Crew
M.O.D. consists of:
- E.Miner, also known as Stranjah
- Rob Ryme also known as Da Pilgrim
Rob Rhyme - Da Pilgrim
Having lived in Jamaica for several years as a youth, Rob
was schooled in the finer points of Reggae music; DJing and
sound clashes, feeling the vibe when the selector would draw
bass-line with a raw dub plate, and that whole scene.
BMX Bikes
As time progressed Body Popping, became BMX trick riding,
became DJing. Aside from the enviable collection of Rare
Grooves he was amassing, he began to make a name for himself
as a scratch/mix DJ. Hip hop and dance was his forte and
after spending many a long night making the people move in
the clubs and parties, he was about to make his break on the
biggest pirate radio station of the time.
Jesus
Then he encountered Jesus Christ. His life was totally
affected, he gave away his now massive collection of rare
grooves and original old skool hip hop cutz and spent the
time he would normally use practising his skills, reading
his Bible and getting to know God. Having totally walked
away from his former life music God brought him full circle
years later.
Rhyme
After performing his first rhyme at an outreach in a pub in
Peckham, South East London, it was clear that God was gonna
use this Pilgrim to communicate Himself thru a most potent
art form: Hip hop.
E.miner - Stranjah
Having been brought up in the Church since an infant, he had
never really lived an immoral lifestyle. It was early teens
and at the point in his life when he began to question the
whole Church thing that he remembers being introduced to hip
hop.
Tape
A tape of Run DMC's 'Sucka MCs', 'Reckless' by Just Ice and
a tune called 'Play dat Beat', proved to be the initiation.
Even after being immersed in the whole hip-hop culture, da
beats and rhymes, graffiti, popping and breaking, he never
lost his consciousness of God and in 1986 he surrendered to
Jesus Christ.
Heart
He has given himself to mining the truths of scripture and
God has given him a heart to use those truths to mine out
those who are buried deep in sin. Having experienced the
emotion and intensity of singing in choirs and groups he
knew that music is a powerful means of communicating, but
also recognised that such styles are most often foreign to
urban culture.
Passion
He now reconciles this with his passion for hip-hop as a
means of sharing the gospel. As a Stranjah on this planet he
recognises the only precious things that can be taken to
Heaven are the souls of those saved by grace. |
