Trip slowly recognized that all of his life should be centered around Christ. “One day, I just decided, I’m only doing Christian hip hop. Rappers like Ambassador and Da Truth helped provide a model for how I would begin to do that,” he says. He also had an immense desire to learn and teach the Word of God, so he became a leader in his youth group, and preached his first sermon at age 17.
In 2004, Trip met Lecrae at a concert; months later, after talking and building with each other, Lecrae began to disciple him. While still in high school, Trip was given the opportunity to pen a few devotionals for the Reach Records website that dealt with theological matters and showcased his spiritual maturity.
Trip signed with Reach Records, and his debut album, “If They Only Knew,” hit stores nationwide a few days after his high school graduation. His first full-length album introduced hip-hop fans to his distinct southern sound, unique delivery and gospel-saturated lyrics. That same year, Trip was also featured on the Dove Award-nominated, timeless classic “Jesus Muzik” with label mate Lecrae.
His sophomore album, “20/20,” was released in 2008 and garnered much success, breaking into the Billboard Top 200 and reaching #11 on the Billboard Christian albums chart and #4 on the Gospel chart. Back with his third studio album, “Between Two Worlds,” Trip offers a collection of reflections on life in a fallen world. True to form, his hope is that his reflections not only resonate with listeners, but also point to Jesus as the Hero.
Since his first album release, Trip has traveled the world doing concerts for thousands of listeners, and his last three summers have been spent on tours (national and international) with his Reach label mates. His Christ-centered hip-hop message has also built a platform for him among churches and other Christian organizations, which has led to numerous opportunities to preach and teach at conferences and other events.
Trip now resides in Philadelphia, PA with his wife and is pursuing a degree in Biblical Studies at Philadelphia Biblical University. He is the leader of the small groups ministry at Epiphany Fellowship, where he also preaches and teaches when called upon. Ultimately, his desire is proclaim the grace and beauty of Jesus Christ to anyone that will listen. He hopes that his journey will lead to pastoring a church in the future.

Your greatness surpasses the most that I could imagine
Yo vast and fabulous status Lord, is more than magic
The Lord my master, outlasting time and matter
I'm prayin' Christ is flattered by this expression of love
And can't wait to be resident of the Heavens above
And live forever wit' ya', this young fella's in love
And I'm stayin faithful, you tell us that you jealous in love
I adore you, the Lord who is good, I need some more you
You paid the price that I couldn't afford to
And since you saved my life Lord I've begun to explore you
And to see the things you capable of
Yes, I'm embracin ya love, Father you faithful and just
Yes, I'm saved by ya blood, and more than grateful for what
You've given me by grace, Lord, I pray we stayin in touch

You proved your love to me
You're all that I'll ever need
And now my heart has come to see I need you
More and more everyday
Cause your grace is so amazing
Your love is so inviting
And now my heart has come to see I need you

Lord, the world try to tell me that lovin you is wrong
But I can't get enough of you, my love for you is strong
For you its no substitute, I'll run to you as long
As you keep bein faithful, I know that won't change though
I'm grateful for the Son, I'm in love with you for life
Though I trouble you, won't trade you for nothin in this life
You the king, so I praise you through trouble and the strife
If you keep bein you, but yo, I know that you immutable
So its no fear, I'm confident in yo providence
A lot of kids reject it, I accept it and its obvious
But I gotta give you credit, really to be honest
I'm glad to say I'm ya bride, I know you'll stay by my side
The great Savior that died, I was a slave you abolished it
You got me, and you showed me yo Word, I vow to follow it
I'm all up in yo grace and mercy, I'm honored to fall in it
It's true I call on the sovereign ruler of all

Lord, I'm so pleased to live for your glory alone
The Lord on the throne, I wanna get some more of you, Oh
So glorious, I always got the Lord on my dome
For sure sometimes I'm forced to hit the floor in a song
To my knees in surrender, to Jesus my defender
I'm so pleased that He sent ya, I'm redeemed and a friend to
The King of kings, I can't believe it, I'm in love
With you, more than a reason for Easter or Christmas
When I'm walking with you (More)
Talking to you (More)
In everything I say and do I need you
You're what my hearts been lookin' for
When I'm walking with you (More)
Talking to you (More)
In everything I say and do I need you
