“Son of man, can these bones live?” That was the question Ezekiel was asked by the Lord, in Ezekiel 37, and is still asking to anyone who will listen . . . it could just as well serve as 5ive’s testimony. How else could you explain a drug addict becoming a Christian rapper? How else could you explain a young black man from tiny Earth, Texas reaching the Billboard charts with three releases to his credit? How else could a man, who just started rapping four years ago, now signed to a distribution deal with Save the City Records by way of Provident Label Group a division of Sony Music Entertainment be touring nationwide? On Nov. 7, Craig walked into church high on meth, crack, alcohol and cocaine and walked out a brand new man. He surrendered and accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior! God had breathed life into his dry bones! As is so often the case, throughout the Bible, God also bestowed on him a new name 5ive—this coming after God told 5ive, “To go and show the world my grace!” The rapper’s name, which is symbolic of the Biblical number for grace and favor, stands for Grace is Victory Everlasting.In June of 2014 5ive released a very anointed album entitlted “Ain’t Supposed To Be Here” which, All Glory Be To GOD, was released through Save The City Records and charted #39 on billboard Gospel!! And in August of 2014 he hit the road with V. Rose, Spec, Bryann & Monica Trejo, RAW, Victorious and Dj Teddy for the a True Story Tour! A couple months after the True Story Tour 5ive partnered Bryann Trejo and became a Solider under the Kingdom Muzic Ministries Banner! It is now 2015 and 5ive is still traveling the World telling who ever would listen about his story and how it ties in to the Truest and Greatest story ever told, The Gospel Of JESUS CHRIST! Can God make dry bones live? He’s done just that in 5ive’s life and even more—He made dry bones rap . . . with a message universal, and relevant from prisons to the churches, from black and white, and all races in between, for rich and the poor, there is healing for your pain, there is freedom beyond your chains and there is unconditional Love that can make dry bones live!
