He went to a conference to meet girls, but was impressed by a performance from a rap group called The Cross Movement. The people in the group had been shot from being in gangs, and had seen a lot of the things that he had seen. When he got in a serious car wreck, and survived untouched he stopped all the bad things that he was doing and decided to go all in for his devotion to Christ.

The album made everyone take notice to Christian hip-hop, and he was largely responsible for opening the doors for many artists within the genre. After this, he began readying the release of his next album “Rehab”.
