UNDER_GROUND: Saint CJ

How did rapper Saint CJ become a Christian?

Jon from Youth for Christ's UNDER_GROUND, interviewed Christian rapper Saint CJ after he had kindly thrown down a track for them.

Saint CJ is a multi-talented Christian artist and creative from South East London. A singer, rapper, dancer, BRIT School graduate, he is also a signed recording artist with the Urban Gospel Record Label 'Imprint Music.'

He got into all manner of trouble as a teenager, running with a bad crowd, and eventually getting arrested for physical assault.

Watch the interview to hear all about his faith journey, then check out the freestyle track he recorded especially for UNDER_GROUND. Once you've watched both, answer the following questions:

  • What is the meaning behind Saint CJ's name?
  • How did Saint CJ become a Christian?
  • How has his faith affected his life?
  • What does he mean when he says that God has set him free from things that held him back?
  • How does his music reflect his faith in God?
