A devout “born again” Christian, Prafit Josiah lives life according to what he believes is God’s plan. Patience, experience and life have carved this man into one of the many hardworking musicians developing intense and imaginative music. His musical roots began with Hip-hop, some of his favorite artists were/are A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Big Daddy Kane, Nas, Rakim, Jeru The Damaja and many others. Nowadays though, you’ll find Josiah listening to alot of Christian Hip-Hop (CHH). Some of his current favorite artists are Eshon Burgundy, Jackie Hill Perry, Swift, Sho Baraka, DEE-1, Bizzle and a few others.

If you ask Josiah, he’ll describe his music as CHH or Christian Rap. He started rapping way back in 1993 and had been writing and recording on and off until 2011. He actually never thought he’d ever pick up the mic again, but God had a different plan.

Tragedy struck Prafit Josiah’s family in early 2016; his cousin was murdered. This event sparked the beginning of Prafit Josiah picking the mic back up and seeking to have Godly impact on the people around him and potential listeners of his music.

“My music is like my life, many sided, you’ll hear songs about my family, life, death, how I wish the world was better, different, etc. all from a Christian perspective.”
