iNTELLECT is a Christian Hip-Hop emcee and producer from Toledo, OH. He began rapping in high school, as in college iNTELLECT begun to venture into producing music having been influenced by the biggest names in hip-hop in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.

With a distinct east coast flow, iNTELLECT has used his gift to spread the message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ to areas throughout the Midwest.  Drawing his inspiration from the Gospel and life experience, iNTELLECT combines biblically sound doctrine with hip-hop beats. “Being that I grew up in a home with a Christian mother and an alcoholic father, my mother has been one of the most influential persons in my life.  I watched how she constantly prayed for my father (who eventually came to salvation before his death) and I became a firsthand witness on how faith and prayer can change the direst of situations.  I watched how she studied the Word of God and how she passionately lived the Christian life while I was growing up.  Even though at times I had strayed away from the path, she always told me that God had a plan for my life.  Her influence has helped me see the importance of not only living a life of integrity but also to present myself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15).”

Music and the Message have always been a passion for iNTELLECT.  “I’ve always loved hip-hop music; the beats, the lyrics, the whole nine.  But at the end of the day, if it’s not God-inspired, it’s powerless.” Recognizing the call to share his faith, iNTELLECT continues to use his talents and gifts to reach a lost generation.
