| Releases: | [Ridin Slow : Chopped & Screwed (mixtape)] [Chopped Up! : Compilation Volume 1] | | Info: | DJ Primo is from Mexico, but now resides in Houston, Texas.
He made several mixtapes. Even though his name Primo is also
a street name for a certain type of drug. Primo is simply
Spanish for cousin and when it was time to choose his name
he stayed close the hip, because many called him Primo
anyway.
Maximum Effort
DJ Primo believes that in all things you do for God, you
should want to give it your all. Go that extra mile or put
forth maximum effort to accomplish whatever task is at hand.
Through his walk with Christ, he has tried to attain that
goal. His walk started in 1997. He had experienced a broken
home with his mom and dad divorcing.
Questioned
He went through trials and tribulations growing up in the
midst of drama in Mexico. He questioned God time and time
again about why things were happening the way they were. He
would eventually move to Houston and that was where he took
his first step in Christianity. Yes, he was Catholic in the
beginning but it left a void that needed to be filled. Once
in Houston, he had an aunt that would ask him time and time
again to come to church with her.
Worship
He was open to going but never took her up on it. One day he
gave in to her and he went to church with her. His world was
thrown for a loop at what he saw. He had never experienced
worship service like this and he was drawn to it. He saw
worship at it's best and it had him captivated. He noticed
that his Christian cousins had fun.
Fun
He never associated Christians and fun together, but he now
sees being Christian in a whole new light. He had to warm up
to the Christian music, but once he did he was hooked. Like
the rest of us Christians, ”Amazing Grace,” took a hold of
his soul and caressed it ever so gently. It did it to the
point that when the song was being sung in church it moved
him to tears. Not to let his pride go that easy, he went to
the back of the church to not be seen.
Real
At the mere mention of “saved a wretch like me.” The flood
gates were open and he cried as a picture of Jesus Christ on
the cross flashed in his mind. At that moment he asked God
to make things clear for him and show him that he was real.
Over time of having bible studies and reading the bible for
himself, DJ Primo began to realize the how real God really
was. One day at altar call at an alternative event to
Halloween that was taken place at his church, he could no
longer fight God’s plan and he made that first step in his
walk with Christ.
Dad
He gave his life to the Lord at that moment with his arms
raised high. A year later, in 1998 his dad had a stroke and
now he found himself needing to take care of a household.
After trying to make ends meet working for a couple of
years, he decided to join the army and he did so in the year
2000. He saw his journey take him from South Carolina to
Virginia and then eventually to Ft. Hood.
War
It was there that he was deployed to go fight in the war. He
spent 3 months in Iraq, 6 months in Kuwait and then 3 more
months in Iraq. So he had first hand knowledge of the
destruction of war. Through the grace of God no one in his
unit lost a life, but he knew others were not as fortunate.
Being a Christian in a war is tough, but he was at peace,
because he knew that God was in control. He had met the
people of the country and heard the stories of what Saddam
had done to families and loved ones. The destruction and
lives lost was all he heard but yet in still he knew God’s
purpose outweighed what had taken place.
Minister
He began to feel like he was out there for a reason. Not
only did he talk to the people of Iraq and Kuwait, but he
was also working hand in hand with some medical workers from
Thailand. During down time they would pick up a soccer ball
and play soccer. It was through this common game that
language barriers were broken and DJ Primo saw an
opportunity to minister.
Foreign
He knew he probably would never make it to Thailand to
spread the gospel, but through these medical workers the
seed was planted and he knew that was the beginning. His
love of Jesus extended past our borders and into foreign
lands where Christianity isn’t something that is being
preached or understood. DJ Primo let's nothing stand in his
way as he spreads the gospel to all that have an ear.
Africa
One day he has hopes of going to Africa and spread the
Gospel, because his heart is being led by the Holy Spirit.
He knows that many are lost and are dying with no
relationship they can speak of just pain, death and
suffering. DJ Primo understands that because last year he
experienced a little of all of them.
Stopped
Last year, he was to be sent back to Iraq and he wanted no
part of it. He was married now and him and his wife recently
lost their baby boy that was born prematurely. He let his
superiors in the army know he did not want to go back and he
prayed to God for help. Help came in the form of a bad
accident that he was in, but it stopped him from going to
Iraq as his spot was given to another. God also replaced the
baby boy with a beautiful baby girl and DJ Primo knew for a
fact that God was still in control.
Skills
He is currently out of the military. He is now honing his DJ
skills as he prepares for his next step in life. Being
influence by the likes of Cross Movement, Nuwine, Lil
Raskull and the Tunnel Rats, he has taken his love for
Christian hip hop to a whole new level. So much so that when
he does his mixtapes, he uses Christian artist and Christian
made beats only.
Producers
He believes that there is so many good Christian producers
out there that we don’t need to use secular artists beats.
He will only use his talents to glorify God so you won’t
catch him putting it down for secular cats.
Excellence
One thing you can know for sure that no matter what he does
he will, “Do all things with Excellence.”
