Bio/Notes: :”The Artist”. Redd Lettaz seeks to express urgency and joy of Christ likeness to the culture from which he arose–hip-hop. Although he anticipates and continues to generate mass appeal with his simple yet cutting lyrics and creative production, Lettaz hopes to make his target audience aware of the truth: all this generation sees is images that magnify selfishness when the key to life is really selflessness. The Person. Redd Lettaz was born 24 years ago Courtney Kelly in Chicago, Illinois where he has spent the majority of his life. He found his talent as a rapper early in life, free styling by the age of ten. Thus, Ten tha Childish became the moniker he would carry throughout his adolescent and teenage years. No stranger to the inner and outer struggles that plague so many of the youth entrenched in the hip-hop culture, his gift became his means of venting his fears, frustrations, bitterness, and hopes–all while leaving crowds in awe at his mature lyrical skill or in stitches from his off-beat and witty punch-lines (hence the Childish addition to his name). Over the years, he has been compared to the likes of Eminem, Can-I-bus, Busta Rhymes, Keith Murray, and more recently Kanye West. By the age of 22, Ten had recorded two underground albums and numerous mixtapes as a solo artist and as part of the Chicago-based First Team camp. He also held his own in the battle-rap arena, winning more than his fair share of competitions, if not ranking high or receiving honorable mention. But God had bigger plans for this mouthpiece. The Name. One October night in 2004, as the result of years of biblical teaching from an old chapter in his life, sleepless nights, and undeniable confirmations, Courtney Kelly surrendered to Gods will in the middle of his living room where he received an assurance and commission from God to represent Him to those whom Ten represented: the young, confused, broken and abused who have a love for this thing called hip-hop.Redd Lettaz is covered by and accountable to Victory World Church in Norcross, Georgia and He resides in Atlanta, Georgia with his Wife (Joyia) and twin daughters Lyric and Journi.
