He is also a skater, which led to his career in hip hop; after an accident in 1998, he took time to focus on rap and was noticed by Trevor McNevan of Ontario-based band Thousand Foot Krutch. This led to his signing to an internationally distributed label, BEC Recordings, and debut release Epiphany, which was made primarily of West Coast hip hop with several rapcore outings in the vein of Limp Bizkit.
He released two independent albums, Mislead Youth (2001) and My Own Thing (2003), prior to Epiphany in 2005. He has toured in Canada, the United States and Ireland to date.
His second album, Glory, emphasized rap-rock elements with more Linkin Park-esque nu metal, and included more authentic hip hop stylings.
Central themes of Manafest's music include nonconformity, hip hop culture, and walking with God.
Manafest says in regards to Glory that: "I wanted to allow all of my influences show on Glory. Musically, I wanted to blend the appeal of Linkin Park, Sum 41, and The Beastie Boys. Vocally, I wanted to merge that with popular hip hop à la Eminem and Kanye West. But beyond musical influence, I wanted to reflect on the issues around me in the most positive way possible. And whether I am talking about the loss of loved ones and abuse, or breakdancing and skate culture, it's all for the glory of heaven. In the end, my prayer is that people would not simply bob their heads to this, but feel a very real sense of healing from the words. However, this record is not all serious. Some of my favorite tracks are the most lighthearted ones."
No Plan B
Manafest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I drop in with my face to the wind
Spin 180 for the win
But I cant find my feet its like I lost the beat
Mid air and theres no plan Bs
Hit the streets,
Skeleton filled with Adrenalin
How can I know that I got what it takes?
When Ive come so far, through the rain
Bear the pain
Makes no difference now
Face myself or get taken out
One more time got to live this loud
Back to the wall no turning around)
CHORUS:
Its too late Its my fate
I cant turn around
Theres no fear, in the mirror
To hold me down
Im too far, from the start
Now Im in too deep
Ive got to stick to the plan
Cause theres no Plan B
No turning back (No plan B)
Theres no other path, (No plan B)
And I know that this road is my destiny
Ive got to stick to the plan
Cause theres no plan B
Verse II
Get a shot, for the top on my soap box
Pop a zit go sing let my tunes talk
Cool kid, and Im in the mood
Give me combo number 2
Whats up wich you?
Dude you look scared to me, better take a chair
Before you fail to see, A to Z like 3 times 3
Its the basics, homie embrace it
Come on!!
Take the shot dont waste the clock
March to the drum of the #1 spot
Born for this, victorious
Storms break off so glorious
Chorus Repeats
Bridge:
All I know is I cant turn back, all I know is I cant turn back
Got to leave it in the past, got to leave it in the past.
All I know is I cant turn back, all I know is I cant turn back
Got to leave it in the past, got to leave it in the past.
Cause this is the only road Ive ever known,
Theres no way that I could start again, Again
