MY TESTIMONY
I began my journey as TruWerdz — a lyrical hip-hop artist from New Jersey, known for gritty boom bap beats, introspective bars, and a passion for collaboration. Though I believed in God, I didn’t yet believe that Jesus Christ was God. I was deeply rooted in the underground scene, working with producers like King Vir2ue and Vinz Vega, and artists such as Tricky Haze, K Banger, and many others. My music was raw, emotional, and reflective of the struggles I carried.
🎙 What Used to Define Me:
• 🧠 Lyricism & Themes: Tracks like “My Soul” and “If The Shoe Fits” explored pain, resilience, and the pursuit of authenticity.
• 🧢 Collaborations: I was featured on projects like “The Statement” and “VEGAWERDZ”. My final secular album, Pure Chemistry, was a collaboration with King Vir2ue. I was also part of GoatSquad — a collective that toured together, promoting unity in hip-hop.
• 📺 Presence: My freestyles, official videos, and behind-the-scenes content are still available on YouTube, Apple Music, and Spotify.
• 🧵 Style: My sound was built on bar-heavy verses and boom bap rhythms, with a mission to preserve hip-hop culture through storytelling and community.
But behind the music was a growing emptiness. I gave everything — heart, sweat, and tears — yet felt like I received nothing in return. I lost my relationship with my brother because of the lifestyle that came with worldly music. I was helpful at times, but also selfish — focused on my own talent, my own success, and how I measured up against other artists. Though I didn’t glorify guns, money, drugs, or violence, I was still trapped in toxic patterns: bitterness, comparison, and a hunger for validation. Spiritually, I was lost. And the pain of losing connection with my brother and my children weighed heavily on me. I was hurting. Searching. Desperate for something to fill the void.
I needed help. That desperation led me to seek God, Jesus Christ. I opened my heart, and He began to move. He placed a good woman in my life, who I later married. We built a home together. And slowly, He stripped away my worldly desires — including the urge to make secular music. He began healing me. And He’s still working on me.
I surrendered. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Father, my Lord, and my Savior — embracing the truth that He died for my sins. That moment changed everything.
He gave me a gift — not for fame, but to glorify Him. My true calling is to spread the Gospel through music.
The desire to make music for the world is gone. Now, every song I create is rooted in scripture, filled with purpose, and driven by peace. I know He’s still molding me, and I trust there’s more He wants me to do — and become.
