His appeal to rap began at the age of 10 when his father, Kirk Shackleford, (a former emcee himself) wrote Sherrod's first rap. Sherrod fell in love with rap. It was how he expressed himself. He mainly held true to its origins and wrote about positive things. He was mainly influenced by underground rap. It wasn't until later that Sherrod was exposed to mainstream rap.
However, as his life began to change and become more unstable, his writing reflected a more worldly side of his life. He found himself involved in more negativity as the years progressed. However, his mother, Lisa had instilled a sense of greatness and drive in him and Sherrod persevered. Before graduating high school, Sherrod had lived in Illinois, Minnesota and California and had attended 12 different schools.
After his graduation, Sherrod's mother intervened with a decision he calls "instrumental" in changing his life. He enrolled at Alabama A & M University, majoring in Marketing. College life did offer the experience and freedom of independent learning and offered vast opportunities in developing this budding entrepreneur. However, college life does not oft demand excellence in morality and Sherrod found himself immersed in a life void of God.
One fateful day in 2000, his life changed when Jesus Christ became very real to him. "I was able to clearly see the deception in the world. I recognized things that I had once seen as fun to be traps and pitfalls. I knew that following God was the only thing that would ensure peace and strength" he says. Though he continued to persevere in the endeavor to becoming a disciple of Christ, life continued to go on. He found that his desire to rap had not died. Sherrod was once prophesied to and was told that he would continue in music, but it would be unto the Lord.
As the Lord continued to show favor in his life, Sherrod blossomed. He married his sweetheart, in 2002 and witnessed the birth of his first son in 2003. He began to fulfill his entrepreneurial call and began his own small business and became an ordained minister in 2003. Before the end of that year, Viktory or Vik was born.
The Lord continued to show favor in Sherrod's life. As he led out in a Bible study, the group grew from 4 to over 80 regular attendees - one of the largest Bible study groups on Alabama A & M's campus.
Viktory has ministered and performed in various settings, world wide and has shared the stage with the likes of Vicki Winans, Marvin Winans, Jr., KJ52, William Murphy and Smokie Norful.
Viktory released his first independent project in 2003, called "First of Many", and it was the only album to ever get a 5 star rating from www.hiphopgateway.com and was acclaimed by www.gospelflava.com. He also appeared on Beatmart Presents: The Best of the Submissions Compilation album and DJ Maj Presents Speckled Goats.
In early 2004, Viktory was presented a deal with EMI/BEC records, but after much prayer, he turned down the offer to follow the Lord's leading exclusively. This decision has proved to be a great blessing.
Though he has been quite successful in his endeavors, he is insistent that it was his mother's constant support and love, intertwined with the Divine hand of God that helps him pursue the unknown.The Lord is free to move and do the miraculous, because Viktory is an avid student of the Word and when the Lord uses Viktory as He sees fit the very essence of John 8:31 comes to life. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, "If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;" John 8:31

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took my sins nailed it to the cross
and he paid it all, he paid it all
Hey! My God doesn't quit,
never fails never gives up and he wrote relent, no no
He paid it all
It's a brand new life for ya boy on the mic,
Been a brand new man since the day I found Christ,
Better yet he found me, hope you know what that's like,
Got my head on straight Got my ducks in arrow
Got a smile on my face cuz of where we bout to go
He been wit me from the start and im gotta let the world know,
Its not because im fresher,
Its not because im flier
I lean on the king, make the enemy a liar,
So long on this road, 100, 000 on my tires
You can call him anything but he's still the Messiah
Its not because im fresher,
Its not because im flier
I lean on the king, make the enemy a liar,
So long on this road, bout a million on my tires
You can call me anything but he's still my Messiah
Hey! My God is Amazing
Took my sins nailed it to the cross
and he paid it all, he paid it all
Hey! My God doesn't quit,

He showed me, he gave me vision from the the start,
He told me, son don't look back and just go, go hard,
Think of your fam,
And the people you surround
all the loved ones lost wishin they could see us now,
And its not so we can brag

It's the faithfulness of God that we represent the most
This aint to say that you're struggles won't roll uuuuppp
This is to say they'll never take you overrrrr
