Red Cloud
Hawthorne’s Most Wanted
Syntax Records
Grade = B

“Hawthorne’s Most Wanted” is a testament to RedCloud’s sorted past of gangs and violence that eventually was turned around by a hiphop ministry and a commitment to Christ.  Growing up, RedCloud did not know his father and his mother gave over his care to friends.  Also at a young age RedCloud was involved in a street gang and was exposed to guns and violence. 

RedCloud’s turning point was after a school assembly that featured speaker Mike Rayo from the hip-hop group known as “LPG.”  RedCloud committed his life to Christ in 1992 and has since used freestyle hip-hop as a tool for spreading the good news of the gospel.  He was performing with a group known as “Seventh Heaven Planets” when he was signed as a solo rapper with Syntax records.

RedCloud has definite street credibility, and his artistry has been highly acclaimed earning him TV and Game spots.  “Hawthorne’s Most Wanted” is an excellent example of his ministry in motion. 

RedCloud is a touring maniac and he has a great MySpace site (http://myspace.com/redcloud) with a plethora of information on his latest CD and his schedule.
