J.A.Z. – Walk

JAZ:Justified and Zealous is a fitting name for a man of this Caliber. Being born into a broken home, crippled by drugs and deception, only aided in his family’s conversion to Christ, leaving nothing but praise for the Lord. He, Jamaine D. R. Herbert, having experienced the worst imaginable situations first hand, from being a foster child, to the loss of his mother to aids, now has a true reverence for the new life.

He states that he has been “Justified in the eyes of God and is Zealous in the eyes of God and man.” If you have had the pleasure of meeting him, you know this statement is true to his core. With the true heart of a servant, he seeks fresh and innovative ways to spread the gospel.

You may see him as an emcee, however there is so much more to this man of God. He has been blessed with the spirit of evangelism, passed down through his father, who single handedly led almost all of his family to Christ. God has bestowed upon him the mantle of a public speaker and teacher, which was witnessed by The Harlem Tabernacle Church for the first time, in November of 2003. He shared the truth of God’s word through tangible message filled with fun, laughter, and keen relevance without ever losing the power of profound revelation. Everyone in attendance can still be heard echoing excerpts of his messages, confirming they their lives have been impacted forever. Since then, as an ordained minister he has spoken around the tri state area and across the country, as his compassion for souls, leads his life as a witness to people, without a microphone.

J.A.Z. is very critical when it comes to his flows, line patterns and over all feel of his words. Each verse spills from his mouth in a rhythmic collage of passion, Love, Faith, and Worship. His speech is courageous, but humble, with his quick word play, and witty approach to song writing, he has been acclaimed as one of the finest artists to ever grace the Mic. He can be heard on a number of projects currently circling the Christian market. It is very likely that if you ask any Christian Rap fan about J.A.Z., they will not only know him, but will have been impacted by his ministry.
