As part of a team of guys from Rock City Church, Baltimore, MD, this past Friday, I had the opportunity to go into the Baltimore City Detention Center where they keep the worst case kids that will have to be tried as adults even though they are under 18 and they will have to go to trial at some point for an adult sentence to be placed upon them. We went in there with my man Show (a.k.a. M.O.G. Showtime) and Testimony, and they tore it down!
There were a total of 54 boys in front of us, and by the end of the night 35 were born again! You would never know they did crimes as heinous as murdering possibly more than one person, had been in gangs (bloods, crips, etc) or that they had done things that were so bad they had to be tried as adults when they go to court. Most of them are awaiting a trial date to be convicted and many will be going to the "adult" population once they turn 18, but guess what...
We were the FIRST to go into that place and minister to the youth!! That's MAJOR!
If you could've seen the looks on those young men's faces: The boyish desire to be noticed, recognized, built up, shown love and attention, and a degree of affection from a male, father or brother figure for them, which was so great and so evident. Kids wanted to show me their talents in singing, rapping, etc. One asked me if I could help him get a job after he got out.
It was just a powerful moment!
Listen, if any of you know of a resource to help kids like this get a fresh start even with a criminal background, when / if they are able to get out, please contact me at wordlifecafe@gmail.com. We need to talk ASAP! My heart goes out to them. I wanted to cry when I saw some of them, but I remained strong for them, though inside I wanted to cry to some degree. With the overwhelming emotion of joy that I felt when they gave their lives to Christ (I, Norman Brown, personally led about 8 or 9 to Christ), I guess that overpowered the tears on the inside (mixture of joy and sadness).
God is great! I believe that many of these kids will be able to go free one day, but I believe that we must stay consistent in their lives to keep them on fire for God and hopeful of their future.
I am looking for QUALITY, ANOINTED, MALE artists (as they will not allow us to bring females there) to join me in this effort. Again, please, contact me ASAP! We will be going back again in this month of May and plan to continue twice a month.

EASOP BIOGRAPHY
The "Tupac" of his genre. This is how both fans and peers have described Easop. While that is a bold statement given the legend and influence of the late Tupac Shakur, one listen to the sound of Easop's voice, mixed with his style and delivery you'll understand why. His baritone voice and aggressive, captivating style has carved out a unique sound like his GOD given name. Easop is a man of faith, and it clearly comes across in his music. He doesn't rap about life's excesses, bling, money, or women, but rather shares his faith, views on life mixed with street realities, which blend perfectly to produce what Easop likes to call "Street Gospel"
Born in his native San Francisco and raised by his great aunt Easop had a modest upbringing. Easop grew up in the inner city where like most young men who come up in this environment was exposed to the lure of drugs, gangs, and exposed to violence. He managed to escape most of these pitfalls for the most part by participating in athletics, but as he grew older the pull became a lot stronger resulting in him selling drugs and carrying guns. But there was a much greater call in this young mans life and he answered the call before it was too late unlike so many other young men.
Easop has always had a passion for music. His influences are artist from all genres of music including rap, pop, blues, rock, soul, etc. So he would blend this passion with his new found faith and start an independent record label called Life or Death Records in 1997. Easop immediately saw the impact his music had on youth and young adults and would release his first album "The Time Has Come" in the fall 0f 2000. Easop show's his diversity with tracks such as, "Somebody Loves You" to the albums single, "Out Tha Box". "Somebody Loves You", details the story of a young man who felt no one loved him, while, "Out Tha Box" is an in your face introduction to who Easop is. The follow up to this album would be a group project he was a part of called "The END". Easop has earned the respect of many for his brand of music and has been called a pioneer in the Bay Area in his genre of music. He also was one of the first artist to receive an award at the annual Holy Hip-Hop Music Awards held every year in Atlanta in 2001 for his work in music.
Easop has appeared on local, regional, and syndicated radio shows across the country. He has amassed a following from his music, music videos, and touring from the east to west coast and even internationally in the UK. A writer from the San Francisco Examiner newspaper found his company and music so interesting that Easop was featured on the front page of the bay area section of the newspaper. Major League baseball player Ryan Freel who plays for the Chicago Cubs also became a fan of Easop upon hearing his music and selected Easop's "Out Tha Box" song as his at-bat theme song when he comes to the plate in the 2009 baseball season. Easop sees himself as not only an artist but also a businessman. His vision is for his company LOD Music to be a leader and brand you can remember when it comes to urban gospel for years and generations to come. In the words of Easop, "I'm just getting started".
Easop sees himself as not only an artist but also a businessman
