Sevin emerged on the scene at age 17 with his debut Gospel Rap album “All or None”. This was a very powerful nationwide release and is still available on shelves in many Christian book and record stores today.
Immediately after the release of the album Sevin began touring and ministering the Gospel through Rap music. In his time he has traveled on a European Tour, which included ministering in London, Belgium, Canada and other places including Jamaica as well as all across the United States. He specialized in bringing the gospel to the youth on the streets that might not have the message of Jesus Christ but through rap music.
He has ministered along side some of the great names in Gospel music including, Kirk Franklin, The Kenoly Brothers, The Gospel Gangstaz, and many more. Over the years Sevin has evolved from the new kid on the West Coast block to the well-seasoned lyrical giant he is today. After the release of “All or None”, Sevin continued dropping more anointed albums about real life issues and his journey and relationship with Christ.
All of Sevin’s music is grim and graphic in nature, but nevertheless upholds a very heavy evangelistic overtone. This is rap for people that are lost in the streets and are looking for another way out. Sevin’s style and lyrical genius is already having him ranked with the likes of rap greats such as Scarface and the legendary 2Pac.
Sevin also is the founder of HOG MOB ministries.
HOG MOB is an acronym that stands for: “HOOK’D ON GOD-MINISTRY OVA BIZNESS”. What this basically means is, we addictively desire and actively pursue a relationship with the one true and living God. We also choose to live a life that serves his purpose not our own.
HOG MOB is about Kingdom Business...infiltrating our urban communities and seeing change in lives thru our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sevin is also band that had a short life in the town of Lafayette, Tennessee. Will write more shortly, just wanted to let you people know about them.

Yeah
Let's Go
Ay I started
That engine get to yarkin' like a race car
Dark but every part of him be sparkling like a quasar
Sliding with my Savior
Got a lasar
Sighter on the slider of the AR
Work hard and I play hard and I safeguard my papar
Got a ten, a jack
A queen a king
And I'm waiting for my ace card
You deserve the praise Lord
Brought me out the graveyard
So I take part in communion
Something that came up out the tomb is nothin'
Your rule is just
I'm through discussing the issue or nothin'
Please don't remove your coverin'
I'm praying for my foolish brethren
We will never water down the truth we make the earth adjust
My squad is in the turf and trust we mobbin' till they murder us
I'm slidin' through my city with a cross up on my back
My boss ain't takin losses so take caution and fall back
I'm slidin' through my city with a truth I know can save
He threw open the cage we the proof Jehovah saves
F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
These men need no other reason to seek Him
He mends the hearts of the heathen when they knees bend
So repent we've all committed treason but we've been
F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
These men need no other reason to seek Him
He mends the hearts of the heathen when they knees bend
So repent we've all committed treason but we've been forgiven
Seven-seven cutty
Leather gutty with the serpent eyes
It's mighty hot up in there buddy
When they chirp it slides
Mob logo on the hood with the purple sides
We cut the top, Doc
It's been circumcised
We surf the skies something like a fighter jet
HOG fam every strand's connected like a spider's net
Beef with us is jet skis get your riders wet
Protected by the hand of God at best you're just a minor threat
I give no energy to the demons in my inner me
His blood sets sinners free
We're trained to love our enemies
Yeah so to the hatred I pay no regard
Persecuted don't confuse it I'm a soldier scarred
But I gave my soul to God He stamped me like a postal card
Warrior I'll never leave my post I'm like the coastal guard
Put away them childish things
Couldn't box with God within your wildest dreams
For Him I'll go around like Saturn's outer rings
F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
These men need no other reason to seek Him
He mends the hearts of the heathen when they knees bend
So repent we've all committed treason but we've been
I'm slidin' through my city with a cross up on my back
My boss ain't takin losses so take caution and fall back
I'm slidin' through my city with a truth I know can save
He threw open the cage we the proof Jehovah saves
F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
These men need no other reason to seek Him
He mends the hearts of the heathen when they knees bend
So repent we've all committed treason but we've been
Forgiven
I'm in that lanky lookin spanky on them true rays
Schizophrenic ain't he?
The paint be going two ways
Roof raised engine hot as soufflés
Probably in my new J's
Yahweh's who I do praise
Apostles where it's hostile
I'm choppin' with that gospel like it's two k's
We be on Beelzebub's head rellie... toupee's
New age disciplin' we riding no fugaze
Go to war
Got Michael on my side no Bublé
God gave me the word to go
What would I be worried for
I hope out that convertible
And convert a soul at the murder show
We be on discipleship
We don't just invite the sick
I go hard like a psycho pit
That I just bought from Michael Vick
Ay Ay bro
If you ain't in it to win it then what you play fo'?
Don't they know
My sins have been paid fo' by the A-O
Hah... Alpha Omega no way I'm ever quittin'
By debt was smittin
HOG MOB my set's forgiven
F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
These men need no other reason to seek Him
He mends the hearts of the heathen when they knees bend
So repent we've all committed treason but we've been
F-O-R-G-I-V-E-N
These men need no other reason to seek Him
He mends the hearts of the heathen when they knees bend
So repent we've all committed treason but we've been forgiven
For Sevin, the artist of “Forgiven”, the song represents a clear message of faith, life purpose, and gospel. As inferred in the first lines of the song, Sevin describes his path towards salvation, and how he has found that path through Jesus. He uses flashy metaphors, layering them over the beat, but still manages to deliver his testimony of rescue from the garbage heap of life.
Sevin then praises God, bringing up the importance of the one who leads, saves and loves through his words. He also stresses the role of love in the life of a Christian. Through the song, Sevin is announcing the arrival of the Gospel and is demonstrating the power of the Holy Spirit. Sevin is a product of rap, but his messages are deeply spiritual, encouraging listeners to remember that it’s impossible to fulfill their lives without the deep sense of divine purpose.
