Young Timothy

It is virtually impossible to talk about North Carolina's gospel rap scene without mentioning recording artist Young Timothy. He is one who devotes an immeasurable amount of time to praying, studying the bible in order to hear from God, and perfecting his gift. His hard work and passion behind the music that he produces has gained the respect and accolades from his cohorts, fans, friends and family members. His personality is warm, inviting and his genuine desire for a personal walk with God is making what’s music to our ears.
The home where he grew up was always filled with spiritual songs, to which he loved to sing along. As a preacher’s kid, Young Timothy attended church regularly. It was in the church where he began performing in front of a crowd as a member of his local church choir. During his quiet time or around his friends an appreciation for Hip-Hop music began brewing deep within. Soon the young artist would begin to write down his own lyrics and record them. While in college he met and joined a rap group, The Allies, founded by producer 9th Wonder, but the fame was short lived due to creative & moral differences.
Young Timothy's rap music is very inspirational and faith & truth based. He has been influenced by artist such as Lecrae, Da Truth, Mail Music, & Israel Houghton.
