Corey Paul started rapping at the age of eleven with his cousins. “My cousins came in, ‘Hey man, do you all want to be rappers? We are gonna make a hit song, send it to Universal, they’ll sign us, we’re throwing money out the window.’ ‘Sounds like a good plan to me.’”
Though he had been rapping since the age of eleven, for a long time Corey Paul did not know about Christians making hip-hop music. “I found guys like Dre Murray, Pettidee, Thi’sl, and realized, ‘These cats have already been doing what I want to do.” He was inspired by their example and started rapping about his faith in 2009.
In December, Corey Paul released his first album with Collision Records, Today, Tomorrow, Forever. He says that the album asks the question,
“What if today was your tomorrow and tomorrow was your forever? How would you live?”
