Headline: For The Word Of God Is Living And Powerful,And Sharper Than Any Two-Edged Sword. Heb.4
G-Rane The Weapon Of God The Christian Voice Of The Young People
G-Rane began evangelizing and ministering through song since he was called by God at the Myrtle Beach,South Carolina BikeFest of 2007.A solo act,but perfectly capable of keeping any crowd captivated by mainstream Hip Hop Beats and Bluntly truthful vocals,I would say the only thing missing is the proper promotion and the opportunity to a bigger stage of thousands instead of hundreds.
G-Rane definetly takes sort of a "Peoples Champion" approach doing many venues to raise money for Non-profit Organizations dealing with such things as Aids,Non-Violence,Anti-Gang,etc
The sound is hip hop at its fullest,hard-hitting beats,T.I.,Nas,CrossMovement,and Lacrae all thrown in one big positive mix.It is Hip Hop with a life changing message,which is almost impossible to find these days.Although urging the world to choose Christ and gain the eternal life that comes with it,he also targets real life issues and teaches those not ready to choose how to live wisely.
THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH IS WHATS GOING ON IN THE GULLY STREETS OF CAPITAL CITY RUFF RALEIGH,NORTH CAROLINA.GODEMUS RANE OPEN MINDEDLY SITS AT A GATHERING WITH RESPECTED MINISTERS(MANY NAACP AFFILIATED),COMMUNITY LEADERS,AND POPULAR THINKERS ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN DO TO BETTER THERE SOCIETY AND THE MINDS OF THE YOUTH."I ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE,SO IN THAT LIFE,I WISH TO BE WORLD CHANGING,LEGENDARY,AND GROUNDBREAKING THROUGH THE WORD AND POWER OF GOD",SAYS RANE.
WHILE GROWING UP IN NORTH CAROLINA,BRANDON COOK'S FIRST PRIORITY WAS SURVIVAL,FROM THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN THE HOME,TO THE GROUP HOME TO GROUP HOME TRAVELS IN THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES,TO LITERALLY ALL THE GULLIEST BLOCKS OF NORTH CAROLINA,WHICH HAD OVER THOUSANDS OF UNJUST VIOLENT DEATHS IN THE DECADE OF THE 90'S ALONE.
HARD HEADED AS A YOUNG BOY,RANE ADOPTED THE MINDS OF SCARFACE,AND NINO BROWN,AND BEGAN BULLYING,HUSTLING,AND RAPPING,SHORTLY AFTER BREAKING FROM HIS FIRST CREW REBELLION ENTERTAINMENT.AFTER ESCAPING MANY CLOSE CALLS WITH INCARCERATION FROM SELLING DRUGS,TO ASSAULT AND ROBBERY,HE GOT SERIOUS ABOUT MUSIC.HAVING A DAUGHTER HE REFUSED TO BE ARRESTED OR KILLED."I KNEW IT WAS TIME TO GROW UP THEN"HE SAYS,"ESPECIALLY SITTING IN THAT CELL AND COULDNT SEE MY KID.I JUST GOT OUT THE GAME,THE STAKES WERE TOO HIGH".HE HEADED INDIE LABEL CUT THE CHECK RECORDS WITH PARTNER RONALD"BUBSY MILLIONS" WRIGHT FOR 3 AND A HALF YEARS UNTIL HE WAS CALLED TO GOD AT THE BIKE WEEK SHOW 2007 ALANTIC BEACH CENTERSTAGE,WHERE HE PERFORMED WITH HIP HOP STARS DJ DRAMA,YOUNG JOC,LIL BOOZIE,LIL MAMA,DJ BLAZE,RUFF RYDERS,DJ STORM,AND MORE.AFTER DOING HIS REMAINING SHOWS IN THE LOCAL RALEIGH CLUBS,HE LEFT HIS LABEL AND BEGAN WEAPON OF GOD MUSIC RELEASING HIS FIRST GOSPEL RAP MIXTAPE "GENESIS" CAUSING A CRAZE IN BOTH CHRISTIAN AND UNCHRISTIAN CROWDS.
THOUGH NOT YET SIGNED,RANE IS SET TO RELEASE HIS DEBUT ALBUM "FOOLISH" EARLY JULY.WHILE GRATEFUL FOR ASSISTANCE,RANE STILL FEELS THAT NORTH CAROLINA HAS NO VOICE, AND KNOWS THAT HE CAN FILL ITS SILENCE."I BELEIVE I AM A KING.THE LORD SAID THAT WE WOULD BE THE HEAD AND NOT THE TAIL IF WE ARE RIGHTEOUS AND MY STATE IS MY KINGDOM.I MUST BUILD IT UP,"HE SAYS CONVINCE HE CAN CARRY HIS PEOPLE ON HIS SHOULDERS.
