With his eclectic style, whitty lyrics, and energic presentation Elijah McGill has taken the Tampa Bay Area by storm! Achieving inspiration from Eminem, Outkast, Darek Minor and Uncle Reece,\u00a0 he has used his authentic free-spirited form and nature to captivate audiences and compel them to Christ. Elijah’s mixtapes, Blessing Beats flaunts his creativity by baptizing popular mainstream beats with scriptural revelation.\u00a0 “All I want to do is bring the Gospel to these young people so that they can retain all that God has for them,” says the Clearwater native. He is a husband, father, and teacher who through his music and poetry, brings lyrical metaphors around biblical principles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

“I’m on a roll\u00a0<\/p>

All on the Road\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Praying for people walking through rows\u00a0<\/p>

Drop em in water they come up with Soul\u00a0<\/p>

I’m all on go<\/p>

I’m so Westbrook\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Working so hard I don’t rest good\u00a0<\/p>

Devout to the word\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0So the Text good\u00a0<\/p>

\u00a0they keep diluting the message\u00a0<\/p>

So They Dont upset them\u00a0<\/p>

But truth is not a suggestion<\/p>

You see success in possessions\u00a0<\/p>

and me I just see dead men”<\/p>

– lyrics from “Go” off of his debut album<\/p>

Elijah has served the youth in his home church for over 14 years. His passion to see indivduals Sold Out to Jesus resulted in him tirelessly devoting every aspect of his life to show them that living for God is rewarding and doesn’t have to be dull.\u00a0 When reflecting on his own upbringing, he remembers his own thoughts and perceptions of God. “Often times church is geared towards older people, giving young people the perception that God is for older generations and that church can’t be fun or youthful.\u00a0 That is why I want to reach people anyway that I can, through whatever method I can.”<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

And Elijah has done just that!<\/p>

Not only is his music bold and daring, but his YouTube series entitled Bible Barz <\/i>brings to light the answers to dozens of practical day to day subjects not regularly addressed in modern Christianity.\u00a0 Elijah expresses how “One of the hardest things to do in Chrisitianity is to be who you are 100% of the time. ” His ability to be transparent with things that he has endured is evident in all of his works. Audiences of all ages divulge in this unique ministry feeling the relief and hope to blantly be unashamed of who God has created them to be! He has graced stages throughout North America gathering a large following. Elijah has performed as the headline with major artists including Uncle Reece, Bri Babineaux, Cyrus Speaks and many others.<\/p>

With an ever increasing fan base from his music, poetry, and YouTube series, Elijah McGill has truly drawn a line in the sand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
