The Blessed Man: Our best gig so far, described by the Brit rapper

One show that really stood out for me was at the Impact 2000 Millennium Celebration For The Community at Mile End Stadium in East London. It was a big gig with Stitchie, Kele Le Roc, London Community Gospel Choir all playing and the Mayor of Tower Hamlets (Sayfal Alom) opened the show. As an up and coming artist it was so encouraging to perform and minister before the Mayor. Sharing the same stage with the likes of Stitchie and Kele Le Roc was such an honour. Even though the attendance on the day was below expectations, eight souls were saved including a road sweeper. I am always encouraged when souls are won for the Kingdom of God. On this particular day, I felt that the Lord reassured me that he had truly called me to minister through rap music. There was such a powerful PRESENCE of the Lord on the stage such as I have never experienced prior to this event. This event encouraged me to do more as far as the music is concerned and I went on to record my debut album. CR
