As a young deacon in church when he was about 10 he could read the Bible as good as an elder person, but by the age of 12 things changed he got into gangs. He became a Vice Lord at the tender age of 12. Now from multiple moves from state to state Slugger Roo was becoming a man. He wanted to take charge of his own life. From bad decision after another it left in a world of trouble.
On Dec 14th ,2003 he committed his life to God and that was his best choice ever! So since then he has been tested in many areas in life from marriage,employment,church and prior management. The Lord has allowed Slugger Roo to overcome all those stumblingblocks.
NOW DOING IT FOR CHRIST!
“Slugger Roo n Lady Roo: Just wanted you to know that your song Victory has been a huge boost this past couple weeks. Stuff is hitting at us fast and furiously., but I know in ALL things, God has the victory, and all this stuff (the church, the neighborhood, the people we serve) are all His to do as HE will. He got it! We got it! VICTORY! Stay blessed!”
Gayle Marie Jones - Victory's effect on listeners!
“, thanks again for ministering to my son. He's turned the CD's on first thing this morning, told all his friends about the concert at school, and went to sleep with it playing tonight. I have heard him sing "It's Cold Outside" all afternoon. The Word does not return void!”

“Then came Slugger Roo and he ministered like I never seen him do before he even in the middle of his song "It's gonna be ok" began to minister in the Spirit as he stated to himself as well as the people and we all were swept away.”
Pastor Ron Haynes - S.R.

CALVIN KING - VIDEO COMMENT
“The Testimony of Slugger Roo is a landmark in local gospel hip-hop, showing just how versatile a format it is for music, ministry, memoir and even humor. It's a major achievement - and a very interesting and varied CD.
”
CHRIS KING STL American Newspaper - THE TESTIMONY OF SLUGGER ROO
“The hit single (if there is any justice on the radio) should be "Thinking of a Way Out Da Game (Jesus is the Way Out)," which begs you to shout along. Like many of Slugger Roo's rhymes, it's based in his years on the streets as a teen leader in The Vice Lords.”
CHRIS KING STL American Newspaper - THE TESTIMONY OF SLUGGER ROO
“Rap is only one aspect of Slugger Roo's game. The record opens with a sincere prayer that his CD will do the work of God, and it ends with a live recording of a sanctified church service when Slugger Roo apparently delivered his first sermon. This rocks just as hard as the rap tracks.
