Tune in as DJ Wade-O talks with Tony Tillman about his new EP, the Christian Hip Hop fraternity, hero worship, Trayvon Martin, his biggest mistake in ministry, religious themes in mainstream music and more. Quotables: - On the pending George Zimmerman/ Trayvon Martin trial: "At this point, I'm just curious to see how it will all play out…It's a scary situation man." - On The Amount of Music he has put out recently: "I'm entering a good place creatively. The past couple of years a lot has changed in my life. My wife just had a baby and I'm just getting back to a place where I can create freely." - On raising his sister's kids for a season: "I don't live in the hood no more. I live in a pretty nice neighborhood. And they come from a different system. They kicked the lot, so we just let them go back home." - On Canon following everyone in RMG and changing his stage name: "He actually mentioned it one time. But it was more like 'Man, I ain't changing my name!" - Lessons learned from the music industry: "Even though what you are doing is seen as a mission from God, there is a business side to it. Just like with anything, there are people who are friends and those who look like friends." - Biggest Mistake in Ministry: "I would say my biggest mistake was not having a team." - On reaching out to other artists for his EP: "I always see myself as the cat without the platform. I see everyone else as so much bigger than myself." - On the CHH Community and Platforms: "We look at someone's platform and say the platform either has value or doesn't have value, instead of looking at the artist and the heart behind his/ her music." - On the Christian Rap Community: "I look at this Christian Hip Hop community as a fraternity. The Music I make reflects on JSon. It reflects on Derek. It reflects on Lecrae…it becomes scary because you have people that want to be a part of it so bad that they worship the other artists." - On his music legacy: "I want people to say regardless, his music was real. I was able to relate to his music." - On Kanye West's album "Yeezus": "I'm offended by it, but I understand it. He hasn't been enlightened by the holy Spirit to know how Jesus is." - On the impact of Urban Churches in the Hood: "I judge it on a case by case bases. I believe their are some churches in neighborhoods filled with a lot of violence and a lot crime and they are having an impact." - On Witnessing to people who Never respond to the gospel: "The frustration comes when we put the onus on us to get them saved." - On Attending an a predominately white church: "It's not so much a culture shock for me, but it is for them. I'm from Arkansas…I'm used to dealing with the other race."

We're looking for Christian Rap to fix unhealthy church places." - On the lack of Women Artists in Christian Hip Hop: "The Lord burdens with the burden of home.
