Domino Radio Interview Part 1

Part 1 - Gang violence, youth shootings, and black on black crime; Real Gospel has the interview you truly want youth to hear! Many of us spent time in the secular world before truly living for the Lord, during that time you may remember a giant in hip/hop “Domino!” He had major hits in the early 90’s most notably “Ghetto Jam” and his distinguished sound helped pave the way for artists such as Bone Thugs and Harmony, and artist such as Snoop Dog… let’s say…borrowed parts of his style. Domino is OG Domino now, and guess what, he’s sold out for the Lord and spreading the message of Jesus Christ!In this interview, he’ll talk about how he got started in the rap business, share a truly INCREDIBLE story about how he found the Lord, give advice to the youth about gangs, drugs, and how to live life for Christ not the colors.He’ll even say a word to youth on the streets that have never been to church, and tell them why the Lord has to be the head of their lives as only he can since he once lived the life they may now find themselves in! His new song “Get It Right” is changing the lives of people all over the world, be sure to tune in!
