Chris Treborn can be labeled a lot of things.
~CHRIS TREBORN~
2 Corinthians 5:17 (New International Version); "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
~SURGEON FOR CHRIST~
Chris Treborn's musical style is a combination of Rhythm and Poetry & Hip-Hop blended together allow the message to penetrate your heart like a Surgeon as he uses his tools. Look at it like this.... Christian is the Surgeon and his Lyrics are his instruments or his tools to accomplish the procedure. His Music is the anesthesia to subdue the patients so he can heal them through medical treatment. Have you scheduled your appointment yet?
~G-RATED ENTERTAINMENT~
He has had the nickname of "G-Rated" since 2001. Originally coined by Eric Martinez, this label was turned into a style, mission, and much more than just music. G-Rated ENT. was created to educate the listeners with Conscious Rap and positive lyrics. We aim to inspire those to better themselves and their walks of life. By being an example, we can show our listeners how to be G-Rated and still love life, with passion and commitment.
~CHRISTIAN MUSIC REBORN~
Like Chris Treborn, this label derives from 2 Corinthians 5:17 and further personifies our music and style all around. More than just G-Rated ENT., Christian Music Reborn is created not to amp up or hype up the listener, but to encourage fellow believers in GOD and those with faith. The lyrics are a little different than Contemporary Christian Music, and the music is a little different than Holy Hip Hop.
~FAMILY FRIENDLY HIP-HOP~
This is pretty straight forward. Chris Treborn presents Truth in the form of Hip-Hop. Not just Spiritual or Christian Rap. This is a poetic form of the Gospel of Christ presented in a family friendly atmosphere. We strive to generate lyrics which are understandable and acceptable by all ages. Our fans range from 3 - 65+. We have had concerts containing all aged listeners - from toddlers to grand parents. Our oldest fan is one of our biggest supporters and always confesses he doesn't normally listen to Hip-Hop, but loves the style because of the words and the way they are presented. Why rap fast? We display stories and images through our poetry. We have to be heard and understood - clearly!
~POETRIC MINISTRY~
Our music is one of our ministries to help share the gospel and biblical truths. We use poetry and add music to it so we can sow seeds into the hearts of our listeners. Poetry can come in many forms. Ours happens to be considered RAP.
~RHYTHM AND POETRY~
Last but not least is R.A.P. Yes, Rhythm And Poetry is where the term rap came from. This is the best label to use when referring to our music as well as our style. Rhythm is the music we use, whether it is a digital composition, or a hip-hop beat produced by a Motif 8 or Korg Triton. Depending on our tools for production, our background music and sound will be a little different. We enjoy being diverse and not sounding cookie cutter - in any way, shape, or form. So if you take our Rhythm And Poetry and the poems are straight gospel, you can definitely call it Poetic Ministry. This is who, and what we are!
In closing - we don't try to sound like someone else. We create our own style. It might sound Indie or Underground. But we prefer to be sanctified, in music and in real life. All we have to say at the end of the day is; Christ is King of Kings, and our Father God is Lord. The Spirit is Holy, and we give God all the glory. Praise the Lord for Jesus and his sacrifice as well as his Disciples.
