S.O.C.O.M. (Soldier Of Christ On a Mission) first came on the gospel scene in the summer of 2005. He released his debut album, Tha Arrival, on Double Edge Sword Records in February 2006. Tha Arrival did amazingly well considering it was independently released. The initial run of discs sold out in a little less than one year. The hit song Take It To The Churchfloor blazed radio charts nationwide and was featured on DJ Laces #25 mixtape, Gospel Skate Jams Vol. 2, and Holy & Crunk Vol. 1. This song also landed S.O.C.O.M. nominations in 3 categories for the Texas Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards in 2007 and the 2008 Stellar Awards held in Nashville, TN in January.
S.O.C.O.M. differs from many because he is a full time Soldier in the U.S. Armya Warrant Officer(CW2) now stationed at Camp Casey, Korea. He has been highly favored as he has performed in over fifty concerts nationwide during 2006 and over 150 concerts in 2007 combined in support of his new release Time Out. His sophomore album, Time Out, is sure to raise the bar in the Positive Rap genre and impact radio charts worldwide. Time Out features the hit song Awesome God (featuring gospel veteran Tonex), Strapped (featuring K-Drama), Makeya Fingers Snap (featuring Apaulsoul and Unknown), John 3:16, and a song that is sure to touch even the hardest of hearts on the issue of school shootings called I Keep Cryin (featuring Scott Tsakers). This exceptional album has a combination of styles to showcase the artists versatility. S.O.C.O.M. has something for all listeners to enjoy.
S.O.C.O.M. has shared the stage with a number of national acts to include but not limited to: Lecrae, Outkast, Goodie Mobb, Luke of 2 Live Crew, Trip Lee, Tedashii, Dillon Chase, Supertopolis, Canton Jones, Da Truth, C-Micah, Mark J, RawSrvnt, Pettidee, JayMay, K-Drama and Flavor Alliance.
S.O.C.O.M. is currently bridging the gap with Gospel Rap, the military community, and the Korean citizens in South Korea. S.O.C.O.M. is a true Soldier, and many lives have been changed through his music.
