About Me


Purchase Living Words the EP
ON SALE NOW for $8.00!



Born in the Chi, raised in the ATL, MIA3 (Minister Isaac Akins III) has a deep connection with the culture of Hip Hop, having lived and breathed it all of his life. This 28 year old hip hop head/pastor/husband/father started emceeing in the lunchroom with his middle school crew in the early 90's, ran off the bus to sit in front of the TV to watch Ed Lover and Dr. Dre on Yo MTV Raps with his N.I.C. crew everyday, and never left the crib without a pen and a pad all of his high school years.
"I've come to the conclusion that I've always bee in love with Hip Hop, but I never really understood how much it influenced every area of my life until I fell in love with Christ. I had to make a choice whether I was going to love God more and let Him show me how to love Hip Hop the right way, or keep loving it my way and watch it slowly die. Man, God doesn't have a problem with the culture of Hip Hop any more than He does with any other culture in this world. He just wants the culture to know, love, and glorify Him, and therefore live and give others life. That's why I write, why I still emcee, and I'm telling you I've never been as cold as dedicated and skilled at the art of rhyming as I have been since I gave the gift over to the Lord."
Pick up the new EP "Living Words", produced by Judah of Loinheart Productionz and tracks from A.G. of TrackSmith Productions and Gabriel "Ice Cold" Hudson of Illi Cold Entertainment. Available at MIA3music.com today!
