Today we’d like to introduce you to Freddrick HalleluYAH!!!.
Freddrick, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Well for starters I am a young Christian/gospel rapper, singer, songwriter. That goes by the name of Freddrick HalleluYAH!!!. And my story started at the age of 13 when I started writing hip-hop music.
From the age of 13 to 15 years old I was a young man involved in the streets, rapping about the streets, but also had Big Dreams of getting out of the streets. Noticing that there was a big unexpected transition in my life at the age of 16 years old. I gave my life to God by accepting his Son Jesus Christ as my personal LORD and SAVIOR. I attended The local Church knowns as Friendship Apostolic Church.
Located in Dorchester (Boston MA) Still in love with hip-hop I started writing gospel music in the form of Christian Rap. I was inspired by the Christian rap group known as The Cross Movement (Shout outs to The Ambassador, Cruz Cordero, Enock, Earthquake, The Tonic, Phanatik, and T.R.U.-L.I.F.E.).
Now those men of GOD were a huge influence over my music. At the age of 16, I came across a lot of hard times and struggles. My family was kicked out of our apartment and forced to live in a shelter in New Bedford Mass. Still in church and still motivated to do the will of God I was writing music relating to the Youth of New Bedford.
The city was amazed at such a young Christian rapper such as myself doing Christian music and being a positive influence over many people of my kind. So from the age of 16 to the age of 18, I was heavily into doing gospel music performing at my high school New Bedford High, and many other events. Anyone who knew me at that time knew that I was going hard and that it was real life at that point. But what is growth without struggling? And I was struggling with things I seen my self back in the streets from the age of 19 to the age of 27. Falling back into the streets I did some time in jail and if indicted I could have spent the rest of my life in jail. Luckily God has mercy on me and I only did two years but while I was in there. I fought for my life… A lot……
Trust me it was no walk in the park. To my amazement, I heard the very voice of Jesus Christ, while in jail, and he told me ” I am going to fulfill my promise “. I knew what he was talking about and I knew it was him. John 10:27-28 King James Version (KJV)
” 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28 And I give unto them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. ”
People may think I’m crazy but it’s okay we have a lot of crazy people leading this country. So with that being said okay….. In my conclusion at the age of 27, that’s when I went back to living a God-fearing life but I didn’t want to go back making music for God because I wanted to know if It was my calling. Long story short I found out it is. Thus 2013 The Ministry, Movement, and Record Label is known as Christ-Like Muzik Group was born.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
There were a lot of obstacles and a lot of challenges. For one there were two artists that I was working with separate from the record label that was trying to steal my artist from me. I found out about it, people will talk behind my back. The lack of effort, the lack of excitement, the lack of enthusiasm from some of the artist that were with the label. And the list goes on but my obstacles and my challenges are success stories that I will rewrite one at a time.
Please tell us about Christ Like Muzik Group.
Christ Like Muzik Group is an independent Christian-based record label. In which I am the founder, president, and CEO. The label has been running since 2013. We write and produce our own music in the form of hip-hop and R&B. I manage every artist that is signed to the label, also I help develop, and promote our artist because I believe and our artists. I want to see them go as far as the Moon and even further, and with the guidance and power of God, we can do just that.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
Praying, reading God’s Word (The Bible) and fasting. Cleanse the mind, the body, and the soul for the lifestyle gives our music life and power to be effective.
