Before becoming a born again Christian, Prophet Link would go by “Young Link” where he rapped about lyricism, hood life, violence, gang culture, misogyny, and womanizing. In reality, Link was a nerd, loving video games, comic books, and even collectible cards, however, once he took a liking to girls, he realized that these traits were not very attractive. Raised by a single mother with a disability in the South Bronx, Link was enamored with Hip Hop culture and drew inspiration from the likes of Rakim & Eric B, Slick Rick, Biggie Smalls, Tupac, Busta Rhymes, and especially Eminem! Gangsta Rap in the ’90s shaped his worldview and led Link down a path of trauma, turmoil, and trials of many kinds. By the age of 18, Link had gotten "shot, stabbed, head cracked-open, lungs punctured and nose all broken" as he depicts in an unreleased song he has performed countless times in front of very diverse audiences. Pronounced dead twice on the operating table, Link did not change his life but took to a life of self-medication through drugs, alcohol, and women. In late 2006, humble circumstances drew Link to the Christian faith, and his life was radically transformed. After being removed from music and introduced to Christian Hip Hop, it was in 2012 Link was deemed "Prophet" by his then Youth Pastor, "Da First Souljah", now known as Just Los, which means "a person regarded as an inspired teacher or proclaimer of the will of God" and that is where Prophet Link was borne > @ProphetLink
