JUDAH E

She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, This time I will praise the
Lord.¡¯ So she named him Judah... (Genesis 29: 35)

A son named Judah was born to Dorothy Hall in Cleveland, Ohio on May 3, 1980 at midnight -
the close of a day and the beginning of a new one. Eight years later, Pastor Willo and his wife, Lola
Mae retained custody of the son whose name means praise. Under their guidance, he accepted
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and became a tremendous asset to Pastor Early's ministry at Mt.
Hebron Baptist Church as a both a singer and mime. Miraculously, Judah sidestepped the lure of the streets but something else pulled at his heart and fought for his attention, the music. Like most
musicians and singers in the church, he faced the dilemma about which way to go with his music,
secular or sacred. The decision made itself as Judah embraced the Christian lifestyle while attending Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio. And he accepted his calling to the ministry and was licensed on the spot by Pastor Willo Early who, along with his wife Lola Mae, had since formalized his relationship to Judah through adoption. In 2002, Judah partnered with Derek Dixie, co-founder of The Beatlab Productions, to produce Scriptures, a hip-hop/gospel infused CD that won the gospel hip-hop album of the year honor at the American Gospel Music Awards. This was a turning point for the minister who realized that his pulpit was as every bit traditional as it was nontraditional. Scriptures established Judah as one of the new messengers of the old message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

On December 18, 2005, Judah received his bachelors degree in hospitality management from
Youngstown State University.

Obadiah Productions signaled yet another new beginning in the life of Judah Early who produced hismlatest hip-hop release, Heart of a Servant, and who is producing his first vocal album, Servant's
Request, to be released in the summer of 2007.

In 2006, Judah lost one of greatest cheerleaders and inspirations, Lola Mae Early. Rejoicing in the
thought of seeing her again in glory, Judah took all of his grief and poured it into his endeavors that
include a return to Mt. Hebron to assist his father, Pastor Willo Early in the ministry. He is a much
sought-after preacher and teacher at churches nationwide and his music is amassing a great
following. He will add husband to his list of duties when he marries singer Tiffany Eldridge in July 2007.

Judah Early is not leaving this earth without first emptying out his vessel of the myriad gifts God has
given him. And with the accomplishment of every task, he will be living up to his name, Judah, the
son who praises.
