He's known for two songs addressed to another rapper, Eminem. The name stems from "KJ," which was an abbreviation of his old rap name (King J. Mac) and according to KJ, also stands for "knowledge and justification. "52" (pronounced "five-two") represents the miracle of the five loaves and two fish as told in the Bible. KJ-52 feels he is spreading the word of the Lord in much the same way Jesus shared the food in the story.
He was awarded the Rap/Hip Hop Recorded Song of the Year for "Never Look Away" and Rap/Hip Hop Album of the Year at the GMA Dove Awards of 2007. KJ-52 also has four Dove awards to add to his 'collection.'

Keep Ya Head Up
KJ-52 Lyrics
Yo it's the K to the J, J to the five
Five to the two, it's time to get live
Party people in the house if you're feeling all right
Throw your hands in the air wave them side to side
You can dip dip dive you can socialize
You can lime to the lemon, you can lemon to the lime
But nine years ago a friend of mine
Hit me up just to ask the time
I'm looking at my watch it said quarter to twelve
He shook his head, he had something to tell
He said "Check it my brother now it's plain to see
I'm going to make it plain just as plain can be"
'Cause you here and you there
But a life without Christ ain't going nowhere
And I was just like you I was jamming on it
Then he sang a little song a little something like this hit it
We rock the mic in a different way
Just two turntables and a fresh DJ
Party people in the house are you feeling OK
Then let the record play all night all day
We rock the mic in a different way
Just two turntables and a fresh DJ
Party people in the house are you feeling OK
Then let the record play all night all day
Stop a second I need to hear more
He said "I came through the door and I said it before"
But you didn't listen to me this first time
So open your eyes and let me open your mind
'Cause the blind lead the blind can't you see that my brother
It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
You going under and you blind to the facts
It ain't where you from and it ain't where you at
It ain't the radio, Cazals or Kangol hat
Now you be illing and it's like that
Your life's wack just broken pieces
You got Adidas but you ain't got Jesus
And a hotel, a motel or a holiday inn
Now it don't mean nothing 'cause your life keeps fronting
And you still lost in sin
I said a hotel, a motel, or a holiday inn
Now it don't mean nothing 'cause your life keeps fronting
And you still lost in sin help me say it like
We rock the mic in a different way
Just two turntables and a fresh DJ
Party people in the house are you feeling OK
Then let the record play all night all day
We rock the mic in a different way
Just two turntables and a fresh DJ
Party people in the house are you feeling OK
Then let the record play all night all day
Five to the two, it's time to get live
Party people in the house if you're feeling all right
Throw your hands in the air wave them side to side
You can dip dip dive you can socialize
You can lime to the lemon, you can lemon to the lime
But nine years ago a friend of mine
Hit me up just to ask the time
I'm looking at my watch it said quarter to twelve
