Jeff McIntosh is sort of unlikely candidate for
Christian rap music. During his high school days, he enjoyed fame of the
basketball court, but after graduation, he met Jesus in a powerful way,
changing his focus to represent Jesus instead of himself.
Despite the fact that McIntosh had no musical
background, he found himself in a whole new world of rap music. Driven by his
desire to reach youth like himself, he changed his name to 737 (pronounced
seven-three-seven) which is based on the verse John 7:37, “On the last day,
that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying “If anyone
thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” (NKJV). McIntosh remembered how secular
rap artists had shaped his teenage years and concluded that there wasn’t a
better way for him to reach students.
In 2010, 737 released his first album, “Get You
Some” which featured artists such as R-Swift, D-Maub, Eric Cross and K-Drama.
His second album, “Convinced” has just been released today, Tuesday, April 24,
2012. This new album features artists such as J’son, Dillon Chase, Level 3:16,
D-Maub, and more.
