History of the Bay: Miles Minnick

Miles Minnick is a new sensation coming out of the Bay Area, blending contemporary music styles with his faith as a Christian rapper. Growing up in Pittsburg, he overcame a challenging childhood in a single-parent household, becoming a teenage father, and dabbling in the streets. When a chance encounter led him to church, Miles received a message that his purpose was to inspire others through music. Becoming the first Christian rapper to perform at Rolling Loud and collaborating with artists like 310Babii, E-40, and P-Lo, he's making Bay Area history.--For promo opportunities on the podcast, e-mail: info@historyofthebay.com--History of the Bay Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3ZUM4rCv6xfNbvB4r8TVWU?si=9218659b5f4b43aaOnline Store: https://dregsone.myshopify.com Follow Dregs One:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1UNuCcJlRb8ImMc5haZHXF?si=poJT0BYUS-qCfpEzAX7mlAInstagram: https://instagram.com/dregs_oneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@dregs_oneTwitter: https://twitter.com/dregs_oneFacebook: https://facebook.com/dregsone41500:00 Intro02:40 Childhood06:19 Discovering Christianity11:52 Christianity in the black community20:40 Joining the church23:22 Questioning God30:40 Pursuing music34:40 Getting fired38:19 Tests of faith44:30 Christian rap55:51 Occultism in music industry1:03:02 Glo Nation
