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.

One Moment
Sevin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel it on me everywhere that I go
The cold flames of the devil′s breath
Don't let it consume me
I seek dreams while I crawl in the mud
I′ve never even fallen in love
I would die for a chance to live
For just one moment
Man
After all of this I thought that I'd be used to it
My neck don't look awkward in this noose do it
What if I do do it
They′ll just YouTube it
The highway to hell has a light
Guess I blew through it
As far as euphoria I′m immune to it
I ain't gotta tell my story mane my wounds do it
Swimming in this evil like it′s cool fluid
But I just want to be Regal
Like the new Buick
Lord is there a place for apparent waste
Share it
I heard You merit grace so I stare at space
I'm scared to face these fears
If they felt my pain they′d bleed tears for three years
And then what
One minute you poppin' in the industry
And then they mockin′ you and rockin' with your enemy
Long forgotten is your memory
When I'm rotting homie
Ain′t no one but my coffin gone remember me
I need a safe place to bare my soul
I feel it on me everywhere that I go
The cold flames of the devil′s breath
Don't let it consume me
I seek dreams while I crawl in the mud
I′ve never even fallen in love
I would die for a chance to live
For just one moment
Yeah Yeah
I just met a woman I will not forget
But it's killing me cuz she′s feeling the opposite
I know rejection's part of natural selection
But that doesn′t help me get up out this vacuum of depression
Discarded too broken hearted
To let anyone get close to me
If I wasn't dope with these quotes
Then nobody would notice me
That is how these locusts be
Saddness in my soul from be-trayal from my brothers
To a son that I'm too broke to see
Only my creator knows how deep the pain is
Cuz He created where the pain lives
But it wasn′t without purpose
Lord I know my trials bring my struggles to the surface
Submerged within Your blood I have been purchased
Yeah
And that′s a reality I must keep in mind
When your light is reflected
It's the only time that we can shine
Fruit ain′t came without rain
I'm an artist
And you can′t spell paint without pain
Think about it
I need a safe place to bare my soul
I feel it on me everywhere that I go
The cold flames of the devil's breath
Don′t let it consume me
I seek dreams while I crawl in the mud
I've never even fallen in love
I would die for a chance to live
For just one moment
These days I'm only finding comfort when inside Your word
Without you lord I′m falling like a dying bird
I′m knowing that hell is something that I deserve
If I'da seen You coming Lord I might have swerved
Yeah
So thank You for surprising me
Your spirit′s overtaking me
Breaking me
Making me a wiser me
You're guiding me
I pray for those despising me
Certainly it hurts but I don′t hate no more surprisingly
Yeah I just stopped and looked in the book of James
Bout how Your Son released me from the hook of shame
I did what You hated but You took the blame
I called but You ain't waited
Lord You took a plane
I guess sometimes I just be losing my way
You do the work but God I gotta put my tools into play
The dead get amputated and You burn the stub
I′ll take temporary hatred for eternal love
I need a safe place to bare my soul
I feel it on me everywhere I go
The cold flames of the devil's breath
Don't let it consume me
I seek dreams while I crawl in the mud
I′ve never even fallen in love
I would die for a chance to live
For just one moment
