In 1993, Kirk Franklin explained why he sings. In 2009, K-Praize (who was not yet born in 1993) explains why he raps. Time marches on.
On “I Do It For You,” the single from his self-produced debut album, Kingdom Certified, 13 year-old Christian rapper K-Praize (aka Kevieion Johnson) of Oklahoma City receives a strong assist from Oklahoma homeboy Cam (“The Platform”). Cam sings and provides Auto-Tune vocal effects as K-Praize raps in a teenage tenor. The two work well together.
Backed by an easy-going beat suitable for reminiscing, K-Praize and Cam trade off on a litany of inspirations behind their music ministry. Why do they do it? Well, family and friends, children, the ‘hood, the city, freedom, Granny’s love, Jesus and the kingdom, so when they say “you,” they really mean everybody.

For me, life is a wonderful song with a lovely melody and the lyrics on it is my life. Just like the music of Kim Clement, I can hear Gods words through the soothing sounds that gave me the inner peace that I wanted. I can say he is a modern Prophet. Check on this site: http://kimclement.com/?menu=5&tab=about , and be captured by its melody of life.
