About Me

Ricardo Equips Artistic Leaders (R.E.A.L.)


MY MISSION – "Equipping Five Fold Lyricists to Impact and Influence the Hip-Hop Ministry, Industry, and Culture!"

MY MANDATE – I exist to gather together creative artists that have been either rejected or have moved away from “the existing music system” to equip them to be artistic leaders in the Five Fold for the purpose of bringing the Ark (Praise, Principles, Pattern, People, Power, Provision, and Presence) of God back to the restored Davidical Tabernacle (the Body of Christ) to Impact the Hip-Hop Cultures of Music, Marketplace, Ministry, and Media imparting faith, hope, and LOVE using our artistic anointing and abilities in the process.

MY TEXT - "And David [the APOSTLE] spake to the chief of the Levites to APPOINTED [Heb: 'confirm, establish, appoint, ORDAIN'] their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy. So the Levites APPOINTED ... the singers [minstrels], Heman [the PASTOR], Asaph [the EVANGELIST], and Ethan [also called Jeduthun the PROPHET], were APPOINTED to sound with cymbals of brass; and Chenaniah [the TEACHER], chief of the Levites, was for song ..." (1st Chronicles 15:16-17, 19, 22).

WHY I DO WHAT I DO?
I believe artists need to be more creative, use more of God's wisdom, and use more of the anointing of the Spirit to increase their talents and skills so that Hip-Hop can truly glorify the Father God through Worship!
I believe in the restoration of the Five Fold Ministry Leadership Gifts and that they should also be recognized in the Hip-Hop Ministry and Music Business by identifying, recruiting, training, equipping, empowering, and releasing artists that will influence, impact, and inspire the Music Industry all together.
I believe in helping the rejected and new artists get established by aiding them to find out who they really are in Christ and getting them in front of their GOD-ordained target audience.
I believe that if you make great music with great lyrics and great beats you give great people greater options to choose what to buy rather than buying the one pop (popular, trendy) bandwagon sound that's currently out.

[Description]

"FIVE FOLD DAVIDICAL HIP-HOP LEADERS" E-BOOK & AUDIOBOOK @ http://www.ricardoequips.com/5foldhiphopbook/

I just completed a new hip-hop leadership e-book and audio book called Five Fold Davidical Hip-Hop Leaders. It is designed to help Christians in the Holy Hip-Hop Ministry find out which of the Five Fold Ministry Gifts they have so that they can better function in their area of strength. I teach these music ministers how to identify and operate in each gift plus how to identify, train, and empowers others in the gifts. I explain how all believers have at least one of the gifts and that upon knowing them they will be able to restore the music industry to the way God designed it through the examples given throughout the life of King David. Both the e-Book and audio-book will be out March 26th, 2013.

You can sign up for a notice on my waiting list to get the book for FREE on the first Five Days of release @ http://www.ricardoequips.com/5foldhiphopbook/
