T-Gen King is a Christian rapper originally from Brazzaville, Congo, now based in Paris. Converted in 2003, he has put his rap at the service of evangelizing young people since his first album, "Prophète des nations" (2011). He has since released "Venu de loin" (2013) and the project "Surnaturel."
T-Gen King discovered the Christian faith in 2003 in Brazzaville, Congo. This encounter changed the purpose he gave to his rap: he chose to put his talent at the service of proclaiming the Gospel rather than pursuing a conventional music career. Now based in Paris, he draws on the mission given in Matthew 28, making disciples of all nations, speaking first and foremost to young people searching for direction.
His first album, "Prophète des nations," came out in 2011 after several months of work he describes as guided by the Holy Spirit. He followed up with "Venu de loin" in 2013, then the project "Surnaturel," carried by the single "Né du royaume." His style blends rap and gospel, with lyrics focused directly on conversion and Christian identity.
