Just Word: Bringing the Word to the world Editor’s Note: Holy Hip Hop artist Just Word’s album TheC2B project: The Transfiguration just dropped. Recently, our own James Wait caught up with Just Word. This is the transcript of their conversation.

Can you tell me a little about yourself for example where you from, what you do? What are some of your hobbies or your favorite sports?

Just Word: Outside of ministry, I work for a Mortgage Company out in New Jersey. I serve in the local church here in Philadelphia. I enjoy studying scriptures, you know commentaries, bible dictionaries, etc., writing songs, or generally writing, drawing, and dancing. As far as sports are concerned I am a big fan of track and field.

At what age did you start playing music?

Just Word: I starting playing around with music at about 8 years old. My father had an old piano lying around the house and so I took advantage of what was there. I started playing seriously four years ago, when I was introduced to Christ.

What is your favorite music to play? And who are some of your influences in music?

Just Word: My favorite music to play is jazz, hip hop and a touch of contemporary. My musical influences are great composers such as Alexandre Desplat, who composed the soundtrack for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button , Hans Zimmer who composed the Gladiator and Last

Samurai, Neo Soul hip hop producers and emcees like J Dilla and Kev Brown; but nowadays, A.D it’s Lamp Mode, Cross Movement and Reach!

When did you get and saved and what is your favorite bible verse?

Just Word: I got saved about four years ago. Been faithfully proclaiming and walking out the truth about 2 years. Favorite bible verse, good question! At the moment, I am being rocked by Isaiah 53, Christ in sinners place, the just for the unjust, righteous for unrighteous. The beautiful grace of God and Amen! Romans 10:17.
