Original DJ, The Humble Servant joined us in the studio along with special guest Joelvier heard at the end of the show with a special gospel message.
Thanks to all listeners and callers, as always, God bless.
Those levels are all leveled out on this one with that new mixer, I’m pretty happy about it working out, it makes the job a lot nicer in the studio using a mixer that is more familiar to me than some huge mixing console that’s in the studio.
Beyond this show, we at Reality Hip Hop are looking for a writer or two. If you love Christ, and you love hip hop, and you like to write, look no further.
It doesn’t matter where you live, this job is strictly online, posting things like album and track reviews, interviews and weekly devotions or bible studies.
Now I know some guys out there will wanna know what they get in return? Well we don’t make a penny here, so we wont be able to fund you in that way, but you will get that good feelin you get knowing your doin your part to help lead the lost outta the darkness… you get to know God is pleased that you’r doing GODS WORK. And ontop of that we will throw some tracks and cds your way to review for us. We’ll get you in touch with some of the artists we play to do interviews, it’s a lot of fun stuff that’s for sure, but a little much for me to handle the online stuff exclusively.
SO if you’re lookin to be a preacher, writer, or just wanna do it for the love, it’s all good, hit me up at pinecone@realityhiphop.net and let me know you wanna help out, and we’ll take it from there.

DJ Will back in the studio this show, good to have him back.
The levels are a little off, like last week, I think we are going to have to talk to the station manager to come up with a better way of hooking our mixer up, because that alone makes the job so much easier, and more enjoyable, but it has been a hassle getting those levels right.
So next week we either drop the mixer or figure it out. Cross your fingers this is the last show with such bad levels!
Also disregard the “fund drive” and donation stuff — that was required of us by the station to ask for, as it is once a year on KCSB.
RHH: What up everyone, we’re here with Kre8tor just talkin a little bit about himself, his faith, and his brand new album about to drop this February called “The Battle”.
How you doin?
KRE8TOR:
Im doing good just working up the album and listening to what God wants me to bring to the album,The most important thing to me is not to just create an album but create an album that will touch peoples lives feel me.
R: First and foremost, I think a lot of people out there just wanna know a little bit about your faith, how’d you come to a Christ centered life?
K: My faith is the most important thing to me no one can take that away from me even in death my faith still exists feel me.
I’m a very realistic christian in the way i talk and think. Im not perfect and im not scared to write about real things that
us christian really go thru. I’ve been in the streets I know about the gang bang lifestyle, I’ve been homeless, I’ve had money I’ve had no money, I know how it feels when you have no one by your side not even your parents. Thats why christ is so real to me, I can be broke right now and still be happy, I can have death all around me and not be afraid that is only because of the power of God, let me stop before I start
preachin lol.
R: When and where did you start to get into the hip hop game? Has it always been for the Lord, or were you once doin’ it secular?
K: I was saved early in my teen years God blessed me with the gift of music befor that I never created music. I then backslided later in my teen years and began a life of death and serving the devil. I continued for a long time like that, eventually I moved to Long Beach California and met up with the rapper THE GAME (former G Unit member) and became his main producer for his label THE BLACKWALLSTREET. They wanted me to become apart of there gang bang lifestyle and I decided not to do it so that was that. Then I started my own label and got distribution thru Thump/Universal and started promoting death and destruction to the streets… it’s a long story, but thank God im back in God’s kingdom where I needed to be.
When I came back to christ it was almost like I woke up from being dead it was a crazy feeling.
R: I know theres some heads out there right now reading this who might not be saved, or who have really struggled through life, weather it be growing up in the hood or some other troubles they got, do you have any encouraging words for us?
K: I would say to believe, that’s all you have to do. It is a very powerful thing, it can build you or destroy you, if you believe you’re worthless, then that’s how you will live, If you believe God hates you, then that will destroy your relationship with Christ. You need to believe that God loves you and he doesn’t want you to live like you live,He wants to be there for you when your depressed, He wants to hold you when your alone, he wants to be a father to the fatherless and a mother to the motherless but you have to believe.
You know it amazes me your so quick to believe in rappers, your homies, money. Girls, bling, clothes, But someone like me can tell you God loves you and you get mad or laugh… why is that, aren’t you tired? I know your tired of being perenoid or feeling like no one is there for you. God doesn’t expect you to be perfect he just wants you to give your life to him and for you to leave that life of lies behind. If your really from da block you know like I know sooner or later da block will get you, Don’t wait before it’s to late I almost did. Thats real talk.
R: In an email you said something about making the video for your track “What If” yourself, and it’s obvious to me that you’ve been blessed with more talents than just rapping and producing. when did you get into editing videos? And can we expect another from you?
K: Yeah God has blessed me with the gift of music production,video editing, building websites, artwork and soon to come my Christian animation series I’m working on. But as far as the videos, YEAH I SHOOT AND EDIT ALL OF MY VIDEOS, make sure to look out for my new one coming soon called THE BATTLE, AND MORE AS THE ALBUM GETS COMPLETED.
R: What album are you listening to right now — What’s sounding real good to you in the Holy Hip Hop genre?
K: To be real with you I have my music playing everywhere I’m at because I’m really concentrating on the album. But other then that theres a few that I’m feelin in this game Da Truth, Corey Red, theres a a lot, feel me, it makes me proud to know God’s word is out here for these streets instead of these kids just listening to 50 cent or T.I. etc feel me.
R: Alright man, thanks again for your time, and for your music, we are really blessed over here at RealityHipHop.net, that people like you are puttin it down for the Lord in a real way. Before we go, shout some heads out for us.
K: I would like to give thanks to Christ of course. and realityhiphop.net for their support in the lord. All my fans who feel what God has given me.
Traci my official midwest connect, My famz, everyone who is a true soldier and understands that if you ain’t G.O.D (God Over Dollars) then your spirit is fake.
“The Battle” can be bought off Kre8tors’ Myspace.

The levels are a little up and down on this show, I was trying out a new mixer, and don’t really know where those levels should be just yet. Running a nother mixer through those boards is hectic, having to manage the input in four different places. Sure is nice, though
This coming week, be lookin for DJ Will who will join us back in the studio after a long business trip, it’ll be good to have him back on the show for sure. I know a lot of you out there are missing him.
Yet another show, this one, like last week went sadly without the homie DJ Will, out on business in NYC, but hes been gone so long I’m beginning to think it has turned into a vacation! Ha, just playin, I know you’re out there workin hard, if not on a job, then for the Lord.
As I stated during the show, there will be an exclusive interview up sometime within the next week or so, with the one and only Kre8tor . talking a little bit about his faith, and his brand new album, “The Battle”
Just me in the studio again, DJ Will was away on business.
All in all it was a pretty laid back show, especially the first half hour or so.
I thre some of that “heavy metal influence hip hop” in the mix. I wasn’t a very big fan of this stuff when it first came out, but it really grew on me. Ended up playing another track like that by request, so it looks like I’m not the only one liking it.
All those tracks were played off the 2007, 116 Clique album entitled “Amped”.

Just when you thought it would never show up, here it is! Kinda like Jesus onea these days huh? haha alright I’m just typing off the top of my head right here.
Anyways, DJ Will and I felt this was a really solid show, really getting this new semester and new time slot (Sunday’s 8-10pm) to a good start. Be sure to download this show, and also be sure to tune in live this coming Sunday, either through the radio if your in the Santa Barbara area, 91.9fm, or via webcast, and thats world wide so you don’t got any excuse to not be tuned in!
What up everyone, sorry about not getting any podcasts up yet, my computer went down last week and it has been tougher than i thought to get it back into complete running shape, so all the time I would have been making mixes, has instead gone to bringing this computer back to life.
On a more important note, Reality Hip Hop will now be heard Sundays from 8-10pm as opposed to the former Saturday time slot. So be sure to tune in live at the new time, both Dj Will and myself will kick the semester off right with that ‘Jesus music’!
Couldn’t let you guys know ahead of time, I just found out a half hour before! KCSB was brodcasting a sports event that takes priority over all other radio shows.
But don’t get discouraged just yet, because both DJ Will and myself will be doing special podcasts through this week, only available right here, so be sure to check back for those.
Until then, peace and blessings
