About Me

URBANMISSIONTV
...Since 1995 MOD have been bringing pure Bible truth in hip-hop form. God has contradicted the industry norms by giving them an international ministry, putting them before crowds of over 10000+, featuring them on widely received Christian Hip Hop albums by the Cross Movement and despatching them on US east and west coast and European tours (including untold UK events) all this without having yet released an album.
Still considered an underground group their passion for Christ and His work gives MOD an intense commitment to grassroots ministry. This commitment has lead them to plant the church Calvary Chapel South London and it's outreach ministry Urban Mission, where they are Associate Pastors.
MOD have made the following recordings:
MOD PRESENTS - Urban Mission, Compilation Album feat 4 from MOD
GIFT RAP - Cross Movement: The Kings Speech
TRUTH, BEAUTY, GOODNESS - Redeemed Thought: Philadelphia (feature)
HUMAN EMERGENCY - Cross Movement: Lord?
MINISTRI OF DEFENCE, Self Titled EP (unreleased).
CHRISTOLOGY IN LAYMENS TERMS - Ambassador (of The Cross Movement): Cypha International (feature).
MOD - 'MY WORLD' (4 1cubed.com)
Is there such a thing as 'ABSOLUTE TRUTH'? You can't say 'no' and be 'absolutely' sure...

rob rhyme, da pilgrim –
Having lived in Jamaica for several years as a youth, Rob was schooled in the finer points of Reggae music; DJing and sound clashes, feeling the vibe when the selector would ‘draw bass-line’ with a raw ‘dub plate’, and that whole scene. As time progressed Body Popping, became BMX trick riding, became DJing. Aside from the enviable collection of Rare Grooves he was amassing, he began to make a name for himself as a scratch/mix DJ. Hip-Hop and dance was his forte and after spending many a long night making the people move in the clubs and parties, he was about to make his break on the biggest pirate radio station of the time. Then he encountered Jesus Christ. His life was totally affected, he gave away his now massive collection of rare grooves and original ‘old skool’ hip-hop cutz and spent the time he would normally use practising his skills, reading his Bible and getting to know God. Having totally walked away from his former life – music – God brought him full circle years later. After performing his first rhyme at an outreach in a pub in Peckham, South East London, it was clear that God was gonna use this Pilgrim to communicate Himself thru a most potent art form. Hip-Hop.

e.miner aka stranjah –
Having been brought up in the Church since an infant, he had never really lived an immoral lifestyle. It was early teens and at the point in his life when he began to question the whole ‘Church’ thing that he remembers being introduced to hip-hop. A tape of Run–DMC’s 'Sucka MCs', 'Reckless' by Just Ice and a tune called 'Play dat Beat', proved to be the initiation. Even after being immersed in the whole hip-hop culture, da beats & rhymes, graffiti, poppin and breakin, he never lost his consciousness of God and in 1986 he surrendered to Jesus Christ. He has given himself to mining the truths of scripture and God has given him a heart to use those truths to mine out those who are buried deep in sin. Having experienced the emotion and intensity of singing in choirs and groups he knew that music is a powerful means of communicating, but also recognised that such styles are most often foreign to urban culture. He now reconciles this with his passion for Hip-Hop as a means of sharing the Gospel. As a Stranjah on this planet he recognises the only precious things that can be taken to Heaven are the souls of those saved by grace.
