    C2six is a former gangsta rapper turned Christian rapper. After success as a secular rapper he had a conversion experience in 2007 at an all-ages concert in which he vowed to give up gangsta rap and dedicate his time and talent to God. Initially, he denounced his Catholic upbringing, considering himself to be a non-denominational Protestant Christian. After a 2 year break from music in order to study his Christian faith, he was compelled back to the Catholic Church. The music he was creating was cultured towards Catholicism, but there were not many other Catholics on the Christian rap scene. In a search for other Catholic hip-hop artists, C2six linked up with Nico Santana and S.M1ND in 2010 then John Levi and Val Mural in 2012 forming the group FoundNation. C2six and FoundNation have performed and spoken to young people throughout the United States. Canada and Mexico as well as the World Youth Day in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Panama City, Panama. C2six has released multiple albums and two documentaries as a Christian hip-hop artist. He has been featured on EWTN’s Journey Home with Marcus Grodi and Life On The Rock; Sirius XM Radio’s Jennifer Fulwiler Show and Conversations With Cardinal Dolan; and Shalom World TV’s Beats and Jesus My Savior. C2six resides in Fort Worth, Texas.

    Beautiful testimony and such a gifted rapper! So glad God is using this man to evangelize the Catholic faith! As a cradle Catholic and former evangelical Christian as well as someone who had a very long confession at age 50 after 37 years away from the Church I really resonate this testimony. God bless you both 🙏

    I'm not even halfway through this testimony and I'm just noticing little moments of humility from this man. Twice so far that I remember is When he argued with his dad and one of his rapper producers or whatever, he could've easily turned prideful and argued some more, but he didn't he just says nothing and "point taken." These type of folks that love the truth and are honest like that, they are probably one of the fastest to accept God, it could be because of the Holy Spirit too.

    Wow. I'm not a fan of rap music so I was not familiar with this guest, but love your channel and this witness from Mr. Zamora. I was especially moved by how he credited his father for saying to him, you have God-given talent, and are not being a good steward of this gift.

      The absence of evidence is not evidence. This is a testimony not a theological treatment of Romans. All gory to God that a sinner has returned to Jesus and rejected his old way of life. Let all of heaven rejoice!
