Growing up in a church household full of singers and musicians...even ministers....deacons etc. music has always been in my blood thanks to my Father a lead singer in a gospel group and musician as well as my Mother who also sings in the church choir. I was introduced to Gospel rap at the age of 12 years old by The Master Rapper featuring the Winans Bros performing a song called “Born again” while I was at a church banquet. I beg
an writing and rapping about the Christian lifestyle and the struggles of being a young Christian youth. I had many battles with friends and peers as they wanted to write about women, drugs and jewelry since that was all that was played on the radio, talked about and portrayed in music videos at that time. At the age of 15 I began to perform and minister at my church Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church and other different churches events and youth explosions in the Los Angeles area this is also the age that I heard a Gospel rapper name T-Bone, his music and humble spirit inspired me to want to make our music more mainstream to reach people beyond the walls of the church. I am not saying that I have never been into Hip Hop such as Kanye, Nas, Jay-Z etc... These are all Artist of great caliber and they are also who I model some of my style from. I just choose to take my music a different route and minister to the youth that we can still stay true to our beliefs and be as big as all the secular rappers when we stay true to ourselves. I want to give children of today someone that they can look up to as there were not many Gospel rappers when I was growing up and show them that all Rap is not stereotypical and negative.

Nucci Reyo, now known by his fans as Nucci Reyo The Kings Kid first developed his love for Hip Hop at the age of 10; during a local New Jersey talent contest, an auditorium full of youth erupted in applause making it very clear that Nucci was their number one choice to take first prize. He knew he was onto something when afterwards he was approached by local teen club promoters to boost their crowds with his blazing performance and natural charisma. In 1999, while performing in a teen club, Nucci grabbed the attention of Union Label executives to whom he later signed a production deal and released his first collaborative single "Roll Wit Us" which received video rotation on Rap City.
In 2000, MCA Record executive Don Pooh, recognized Nucci as a lyrical mastermind and offered financial backing for Nucci's first solo album "American 21." Following the release of American 21, Nucci began getting heavy nods from executives throughout the industry and created a path for himself to blaze the stage with heavy-hitters such as Nas, Busta Rhymes, and Lil Wayne. Recognized as a true lyricist, Nucci was then called upon to collaborate with P Diddy, Lil Flip, Havoc of Mobb Deep, Raekwon of Wu-Tang, Gillie the Kid, and the Bleach Brothers. Nucci was also able to work with R&B singers including Carl Thomas, Marques Houston, R.Kelly and artist, Deemi who he collaborated on the hit song "On The Radio." In 2005, Nucci released Welcome to NuccJerz, featuring his hit single "Pray For Me" which received heavy radio rotation from the notorious Hot 97 DJ's.
In June 2007, Nucci's all around musical gift led to his being cast in the hit gospel play entitled, "Don’t Count Me Out." During this experience, Nucci's life was impacted by the gospel of Jesus Christ and he became born again; it was then that his life was catapulted into a new direction and a new message was birthed in his heart. Nucci committed to yielding his gift to God and his music now breathes a fresh anointing destined to impact a generation. After appearing in "Don't Count Me Out," he took other roles in gospel plays including; "Judgement Day" and a role as the Prophet Isaiah in, "Mary and Martha." Nucci's entrance into The Kingdom of Light is truly prophetic and timely. Since then Nucci has starred in the Hip Hop Musical Divine Intervention which ran for 6 months in 2010. This powerful musical is part of The White Flag Movement which is a Movement led by Nucci and promotes the Hip Hop generation surrendering to God. Universal Music Group will be distributing the the DVD and animated movie version of Divine Intervention in May 2012. Expect to hear more from Nucci Reyo The Kings Kid.
