Hire an Artist Manager

BiographyBorn outside of Detroit, Michigan, Minister Kaine (MK) found himself at an early age using and selling drugs, and involving himself in street gangs. He feared he would never escape the grim reality of his hood. His deep desire to free himself of that environment led him to expressing his pains and struggles through his music and lyrics. A turning point in MK's life was when the manager of "Tribe Called Quest" advised him to further pursue a career in music. But MK knew he would need more than himself to turn his life around, so he turned to spirituality. He added "Minister" in front of his street hustler name, "Kaine." MK delivers an intelligent and street savvy reflection on the often flawed world we live in, without using profanity in any of his rhymes. MK thinks profanity is the easy way out for a lyricist. MK's music is ghetto street savvy, spiritually conscious and politically and socially aware with a commercially viable delivery. On stage MK is a dynamic and energetic performer. From the east coast to the west coast, he has performed with major labels artists, such as McEhit, A Tribe Called Quest, 8Ball & MJG, Scareface and The Ghetto Boys. One of the highlights of MK's life was the opportunity to perform with the late Tupac Shakur. Minister Kaine has enjoyed several significant film and television placements, including the television shows MTV CRIBS, Laguana Beach and My Super Sweet Sixteen. Also, MK's song, "Motel Kali," was released on the "Painting Shadow's" soundtrack also featuring G-Unit's Young Buck and Atlanta's Pastor Troy. Minister Kaine proudly announces his fourth album, "The Dead Hood Scrolls," which includes the song "Real Out Here" featuring a verse from The Game. The album also includes the instant club classic, "Shawty Like That," which is rapidly gaining airplay across the country as the first single from the new album. Request, "Shawty Like That," at your local urban music radio station.Management:Trey RickRick Rock Management                              treyrick@ministerkaine.com #Hip-Hop #Rap #R&B
