Its funny how life changes and goes in a totally different direction in a blink of an eye. At 19 yrs old and chasing the rap dream like so many other young black males Andre Finley whos stage name is Big DRE began recording music in his cousins basement. A few years later he launched A-1 Entertainment. Big DRE who was not just content with being a rap artist decided that A-1 Entertainment and Hip Hop would be the vehicle that would take him and his family to a life of success and happiness. Even though he grew up in a rough neighborhood, there are no gangster street stories to tell. Big DRE did get involved in selling drugs but he always knew there was something missing and was never satisfied with that lifestyle. Ten years later after going through a series of storms and losing everything, Andre realized that it was time for a change. While his newest single was gaining momentum on the radio, Dre walked away from his company as well as his artist and decided that he would dedicate his life to the Lord.
Shortly after walking away from music, Andre met a new employee/co-worker at his job. Andre was given a CD of his co-worker prior to meeting him face to face. After meeting Andre informed his co-worker that he was no longer in to music but he did feel that he was talented. After telling his co-worker the reasons behind the change in Andres life, his co-worker began to notice that the Lord was calling him as well. Shortly after his co-worker also walked away from music and accepted Christ as his personal savior. Both could not deny the urge to continue doing music and began writing verses from a Christian perspective. Reluctantly they decided that they would team up together and record a few songs. Well those few songs turned in to an album. Street Scriptures the Mix-Tape was birthed from the union. This promotional project has gained great reviews from fellow Christians as well as what we like to refer to as future Christians.
Dre has committed himself to winning souls for the Lord. He feels that there is a division that needs to be bridged between the church and the lost. He also believes that bridging this gap will allow for more souls to be won and destroy Satans plot to divide and conquer. Big DRE is currently recording new music that is sure to bring new light to the world of Christian music. If it be the Lords will, listeners will receive and enjoy this project.
