Well I said that I would never, ever get a myspace account; since I now have one I guess I lied! My name is Joel aka "el Joel." I was born and raised in Manchester Connecticut and now live in Tampa Florida. Due to choices that I made when I was younger, I made my life a lot harder than it had to be. God's grace though has seen me through everything I went through and everything I put my parents through. Where would any of us be without Him, right? I am currently enrolled at USF, studying Criminology with a minor in Psych. I attend Crossover Community Church and am the house R.A. for our interns. I am blessed to have a loving and caring family as well as church family. Big ups to my boys Spec, Los and Rize! They are all great friends and I look up to them.
Check out our church: www.crossoverchurch.org and our hiphop shop: www.flavoralliance.comI love true hiphop. Most of what you hear on the radio is so commericialized, phony and dumbed down. I listen to a lot of Christian artists who are doing their thing as well as secular cats that have something to spit. Say something smart, give me some knowledge. Who wants to hear how fake you are and that you swat bullets out of the air with your hands? Impress me with your lyrics, word play, beat riding and punchlines. Above all though, be real about what you spit.
