R.I.C: Righteous in Christ, Richard Hogg was raised in Bronx, New York growing up in the Church of God of Prophecy. At the age of 9, Richard received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior at a Regional Youth Camp in 1996. The Lord brought forth his gift of ministry and music through the Children Ministries at his church. At 16, God anointed Richard as R.I.C (Righteous in Christ) to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ through lyrical word to this generation. With a movement of TRANSFORMATION and TRUTH, God placed the passion of music in R.I.C to minister on the essential foundations of Jesus Christ…REPENTANCE, REDEMPTION & RESTORTATION.
Working with G. Jenkins, R.I.C released his Debut album VISIONARY, where he delivers the Gospel of Jesus Christ in:
• The Revolutionary single “Be Free!”
• Alternative inspired song “Repent II”
• The Worship jam “Jesus Hype”
• Life- Inspiring song “When I Pray”
R.I.C utilizes every aspect of ministry with worship, lyrical ministry and the Word to DELIVER the MESSAGE of God to this world. R.I.C was honored to minister to at many concerts, street-fairs and church-related functions including:
• On a mission trip in Bermuda
• The Church of God of Prophecy Convention in Canada
• The 2006 National Youth Conference in Tennessee
• Venues throughout the Tri-state New York area
• Finalists in the Gospel Rap category in the McDonald's Gospelfest 2004
Currently, R.I.C is working on his new album to be released in 2009, releasing the NEW singles called “Stay Focused” and “Don't Let Go…” With one GOAL in his heart, R.I.C is delivering the message that Jesus Christ died on the Cross of Calvary to save the World, to save Humanity, rose from the dead and brought forth the Holy Spirit to deliver US from CONDEMNATION…Romans 8.
Be apart of the MOVEMENT of SOULS for the KINGDOM OF GOD…Amen.
