About the Founder
Darin A. Harris says he is the first Hip Hop person in history to go to the Close Up Foundation in Washington D.C. and meet the President of the United States and hang with Congressmen and Senators for 7 days.
He also had a hit record in high school about his childhood friend Fly Ty getting killed called “Murdered By A Mark”. So everyone was arguing over who were going to be his roommates on the first night he was there and they found out about it.
He also invented the Reveal Whats Real Ministries name and created the logo for the greatest church name and logo in history. He also worked with children at the YMCA and will be starting his own “High Science And Supreme Mathematics Academy”, which will be the most revolutionary school in history.
Darin has 4 kids, Kavon, Devore’, Ashleigh and Lavonna. He started the Element of Surprise Entertainment company and put together the top 20 talent on the planet including himself.
He’s also the greatest music producer in history and produces 20+ styles and never been booed off of stage like Prince and Lauryn Hill. In 2005 at the age of 33 God gave him “The Enemy” song. 6 years later he gave him the “Compliments Come From Confidence” priceless quote. In the 90’s he invented the “Saving My Shells For A Rainy Day” album title and he came up with the idea for the most historic album cover in history.
He was also Vice-President of Professional Sports Consultants and he and Frank Murtha used to travel all over the country recruiting basketball, baseball and football players. He had his own Magazine in the 90’s that started out as Mindstate Magazine but currently evolved to Yadamean Magazine. He was 49 years old, the age of his favorite sports team when he created the top-10-all-time clothing line Boss Up logo.
The logo has a Pyramid like his homeland Egypt over the letter P to pay homage to where his slanted Egyptian feet says he come from. He also came up with his “First Step: You Blow By The Competition” sports wear clothing line in the 1990’s.
He invented the “Remix The Kicks” idea when he was a high school student in Memphis in the 9th grade. He was also doing embroidery for people in middle school and high school and was making a lot of money. He invented the first NFL jeans in history in 1990.
He created his stage name Gangsta Genius from the hospital area where he was born at is in Englewood, a GD controlled area. The other half came from Bill Walsh the coach of his 49ers Dynasty. My mother Mary Ligon calls herself a Genius also and is the smartest woman I’ve ever known.
I been a minister my whole life and everything about my life always about giving the most high his glory. I also invented Gospel Hip Hop in 1996 after 2 Pac’s death and Professor Griff’s “Crucified” was my inspiration to make the move musically.
I’m the first Hip Hop artist who was performing in Churches in the 1990’s. I’m going to also be doing a movie about my life called “My Testimony Iz My Story Only”.
