Founding member of the L. A. CHH supergroup Gospel Gangstaz; Chille Baby drops in on Church on The Block with Pastor Phil, Pastah J and DJ Ruckus to share his testimony and why street ministry is so important today.

Growing up in the gang ridden streets of Los Angeles, Chille recalls meeting Mr. Solo and how he ministered to him eventually leading him to getting saved as well.  

He goes on to share the pushback the group received when they first started out, including how the “church” picketed Gospel Gangsta shows, upset with them for using the N-Word in their music. Standing firm in his faith, Chille explains why we need to push the line in order to break through the walls to reach our brothers and sisters in the streets. 

Understanding that very our lives depend on developing a relationship with God; Chille highlights how important it is to keep it real and be authentic so that we are able to connect with our young people and in turn be more effective in our ministry.  

The CHH legend has plenty of L.A. stories of West Coast icons including The Dogg Pounds Kurupt. Listen as Chille Baby takes us with him on a trip down memory lane, opening up about meeting Jimmy Iovine and Suge Knight of the infamous Death Row Records and remembering how they ran a “credit check” on the Gospel Gangstaz. Even getting advice from one of America’s Most Wanted, he shares how he and Mr. Solo were in the same studio with Ice Cube!

Coming from the deadly streets of L.A., Chille explains the importance of street ministry and the impact it has in and on people’s lives. He implores us to listen to the streets; to the young people. Give the them a chance to share their perspective in church. Be open and willing. And to love unconditionally.

Speaking from experience, Chille talks about being mentored by Soup the Chemist how that Godly love changed his life. And it’s with that same zeal and commitment that he continues to spread the gospel.  

You can hear his love for God, passion for street ministry and his determination to impact a generation in his music.
