Bio/Notes: Daniel Cooper aka Da PaperBoy, was born in St. Louis MO. He grew up in an house hold that only allowed music that glorified God to be played. This was taboo, based on the fact that he lived in the “hood” where ungodly music surrounded him. Thank God for two parents that truly wanted to please Jesus Christ in all that they said and did! As PaperBoy grew he realized he had a problem; he loved the culture that he was engulfed in (hip-hop) yet he was not allowed tho listen to its music. It wasn’t until he was about eight or nine did he get his first taste of Christian Rap. PaperBoy began to listen to “The Crossmovement”. His life soon took a spin when his dad took him to get his cd signed by FLAME where he also met Json. Through the coversation that took place in the store PaperBoy was invited to join the bible study that took place at Json’s house. They began to disciple and pour into him, teaching biblical truths and characteristics of God. (mmmmm good stuff!) Through the discipleship process PaperBoy then became connect with Thi’sl, JR, NAB, Chozy’n, Trip Lee, Tdot, and Sho. Throughout all this it wasn’t until he moved to Texas at the age 15 did he realized God called him to minister the gospel through rap (but not only rap). So now at the age of 19 PaperBoy is continuing to serve the Lord with the gift he was given.
