Album Notes

If there ever were the perfect song for you to start your day with, it would be the first single “New Day” off Antoine's highly anticipated sophomore album releasing in the summer of 2007 “Eloquence.” Antoine was born in San Jose, Ca and raised all over the state. Brought up in the church he learned the right way to go, however by middle school found himself straying further and further away. Looking for a positive change in his life, two months after graduating high school he joined the United States Air Force. By the age of 24 Antoine had completed his enlistment in the Air Force, released a secular album in a group called Trendsetaz, found himself with a criminal history, and fighting addictions to alcohol, fornication, drugs, and sin in general. Hoping for some sort of light at the end of the dark tunnel of destruction he was traveling, he allowed his Pastor Dr. Allen S. Turner to pray for him which was the day Antoine accepted the Lord Jesus Christ changing his life forever. Being constantly motivated by his family and Pastor to leave secular music and use his gifts for the building up of the Kingdom of God, Antoine submitted himself 100% to God and began doing Gospel Rap. In 2005 Antoine started his own Record Label Shopharecords releasing his first Gospel album later that year “Never Look Back”. Since then, Antoine has been blessed to minister/rap at more than 50 events, been in magazines, newspapers and on television which helps explain why Antoine is quickly becoming a household name. With such a heavy anointing and music packed with powerful ministry, creative punch lines, real life issues and a sound unfamiliar to the music industry, Antoine is sure to be one of the world’s musical hard hitters. We look forward to seeing and hearing what is next to come from this humble servant of God.
