专辑简介

Markeise Wright aka 47th Disciple is an artist on the rise in the gospel hip hop world. 47th Disciple was born and raised in the inner city of Charlotte, NC. He grew up listening to gospel music, from the spiritual melodies of Kirk Franklin to the hardcore lyrics of T-Bone and Gospel Gangstas. At the age of twelve, he began writing and performing at his home church along with traveling to other churches for gospel functions. Music took a back seat to sports during high school. He was a corner back on the varsity football team. His hard work landed him a slot on the All-State and All-Conference teams and a scholarship to Mars Hill College, becoming the first individual in his family to attend and graduate college. After graduation he began his climb in Bank of America, where he went from a teller to an Operation Consultant in the matter of five years. It was during paternity leave, fall of 2010, when he realized his desire to combine faith, arts, sports and education as a tool to inspire youth. In April of 2011 he founded his own record label “Zion Records, LLC”, beginning his journey of writing and recording music will encourage and inspire his fellow man to have a personal relationship with God. His ultimate goal is to one day have campuses that can facilitate his desire to build strong youth for God, by establishing biblical world views and basic life skills in a healthy environment for the mind, body and soul to mature.
