Intro: this past couple of weeks well really that has 2 weeks I probably listen to Uncle Reece's album Bold backwards and forwards probably total maybe 10 times. Not realizing that this summer Marks the 10th anniversary of a hit making gospel stellar award-winning album. I can remember the day like yesterday sitting at his mother and father's home in Jacksonville,FL with our mutual friend Demetrius. His single “until I pass out” was getting radio play all over the gospel radio stations of the day and even secular stations as well as it was building up at minimum as the artist known as Uncle Reece was to place of his mark on a new era of gospel music.

Now Let's Get Back into the Episode…
It all started in a little town of Tallahassee Florida yep home of the Rattlers and the Florida State Seminoles. Me myself Uncle Reece Demetrius, Antareo and a few other brothers got together in Reese’home his two bedroom apartment at a time to talk about the love of God to worship and discuss things that pertained to young black men in our walk with Christ. It was a fascinating thing for me all of us were in our twenties and a young black male growing up in a foster care system and being adopted I had a lot of things that I personally did not want to share. But this small group of young black men full of the love of God gave me reason to share those things to be healed of some, while others are still struggling with to this day. Ask Maurice Hicks let these particular small group sessions really church at home I always saw him being as charismatic individual high energy high leadership and definitely anointed. His worship was for real.
Uncle Reece tried out a few songs at a few churches local churches of course in Tallahassee and us his fellow brothers in arms with him to quite a bit of those churches. So we're talking about circa 2010-2011 Maybe at this time this is probably about 2 years before he blew up. And boy did he have the religious folks on his backs. Literally there was churches that bought his albums just to stump on them because they said that it was devil's music LOL. Mind you the whole time he was talking about Jesus but because they didn't understand neither did a conceptualize that you can rap to a beat about God they scorned him from the church. But I believe there was in that moment going to those churches with Maurice that he saw me as a true faithful brother something that I didn't really think that much of. I mean at the end of the day I'm I'm a Leo so most of us Leo's a loyal people. But he always talked about the one moment that I stood at that door asking requested I never moved kind of like when you think of when God commands an angel to stay in post and not to move until he commands. You know there is truth when the Bible says that to be done on having it it is on Earth. Either way that was a moment that Maurice saw me as not just a brother but someone he could depend on as he moved forward we're trying to get anybody to play his songs around town and beyond.
