C4J Records stands for Crazy 4 Jesus. While thugs and hustlers look up to notorious gangsters, Saints feel like Jesus was the realest nigga to walk the face of the earth. For this reason, Darick Spears has created the C4J (Crazy 4 Jesus) slogan.
Darick Spears was born and raised in the rough Northside of Milwaukee, and he survived the gang lifestyles, the drugs, and put his self through college. While in college at Marquette University, Darick began a rap career with his stage alias "DDS", which stood for Darickdasaint. With his brothers still living the gang and hustler lifestyle, DDS rapped about the lifestyle of growing up on the rough streets of Milwaukee. He then decided to take a different approach and speak on the struggle he was having, which was the fight that stood between the liquor store and the church house. He then labeled his music "Saint Music."
DDS’s musical influences include: Tupac, Scarface, Method man, Ludacris, DMX, Jay-Z, Too Short, John P. Kee, Master P, MF Doom, Wu-Tang Clan, Twista, Nas, Snoop, Biggie, Ce Ce Winans, Whitney Houston, Common, Eminem, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Public Enemy, Redman, T.I., Jazz, Marvin Gaye, Ice Cube, Mobb Deep, the old 50 Cent, Big Pun, Ghostface Killah, and the list goes on.
