About ALTAREGO
Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com!

















My name is Altarego and I am nothing without Christ. For some reason God decided to take a quiet, shy, geeky, Kentucky boy and transfer him into a national minister of the gospel through hip hop and preaching. I thought he was crazy when he called me and thought life was even crazier when he gave me the girl of my dreams(Ginger) to stand beside me in this ministry. Let me a**ure you that God will equip you for what he has called you for and will give you the right counterpart and accountability when the time is right.
The stuff you might want to know about me is that I am a nationally released and touring artist who takes his pa**ion for growth and change wherever I go. I have been doing gospel hip hop for 15 years and have appeared on 31 projects to date. God has blessed me to minister in over 1300 concerts alongside such artists as Ludacris, Trillville, KJ-52, John Reuben, Grits, Seventh Day Slumber, Pillar, Disciple, Pettidee, Verbs, Kids in the Way, Out of Eden, Trinitee 5:7, Fred Hammond, Mr. Del, T-Bone, Irocc, Canton Jones, Deitrick Haddon, DJ Maj, Ahmad of 4th Avenue Jones, Gospel Gangstaz, Smooth tha Messenger, K-Lee, and Ricky B. In addition, I have been honored with two national awards as a music artist and have over 100,000 CD's in circulation that contain songs God inspired me to write and record. However, please read the next paragraph now that you have made it this far.
Numbers are not the goal and performing with cool people is not the aim. I simply desire to meet the need of God's people as I come in contact with them. Feel free to email me with any prayer requests, questions about my songs, and any inquiries about having me come out to minister. If you want me to come out, I will bring an urgent and uncompromised message and a complete sound and lighting system as well. God bless and I look forward to hearing from you. Also, check out www.shoutlife.com/thevoiceofhiphop to hear more music and get more information about a compilation Ginger and I are putting together for Audiogenics Records. God bless. Matt aka Altarego :)
