Makoto aka CBG

turned to the streets of the Hilltop in Tacoma, WA, where he learned how to sell drugs & Gang Bang. In 1998, his father past away & so did his will to live. He was soon hooked on the same drugs he was selling, homeless, & hopeless, or so it seemed. In March of 1999 he was sent to prison for Robbery 2. and got out June 10th of 2000. Soon he was back on the streets again. After several trips to jail, and several life threatening events, he found out that someone did care about him. And that he still had time to make something out of his life. He went from Crime too Christ, from Gangs to God, and from Prison to Praise. He was called by God out of a life in the streets, gangs, and drugs. To show how grateful he was to God , he quit writing Raps so he could learn how to serve God. Then one day out of the blue , God gave Corey a new song to sing and released him to Rap, giving him the name Chosen by God. God showed him,through others with similar backgrounds ,what he had to do & anointed him to minister to lost souls who come from many backgrounds! CBG is not only a Gospel Rapper, but also a Known Spoken word poet in the Northwest. A three time winner of the South Sound Poetry Slam, winner of the Northwest Rappers Delight in 2002, and much more. He is currently the founder of God's Royal Priesthood Ministries, business owner and speaker. Saved by grace though faith in Jesus name!
