Yung SwaggaANOINTED is a word that I would use to describe myself, Cedrick Woods, because without God’s anointing, what I do would mean nothing! I am a 16 year old Christ-centered, young man on the move for God! I am a member of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Carrollton, GA under the leadership of Pastor Samuel T. Mercer. There I previously served as Vice-President of the Youth Ministry as well as a leader in youth sports. I also serve on the Youth praise team, choir and previously a member of Alternative Praise Mime ministries at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. God has blessed me with the gift to rap which transcends all generations; but touches the youth in a special way. My purpose is to win souls for Christ, no matter the age, letting everyone know that it is cool to live for Christ! God gave me this vision when I was 12 years old and showed me how he would use me as His instrument to reconcile others back to Him; as a result I began writing and rapping scriptural based lyrics.

Testimony LyricalAt the young age of thirteen, Testimony discovered her passion for poetry and when asked one day what she wanted to be when she grew up, she boldly proclaimed that she was going to be a writer. Though it wasn’t clear to her then where that came from, she now understands that it came from the Holy Spirit. What she did know was that her response resonated so strongly in her spirit that she was certain of her confession. Her seventh grade teacher, Mrs. Bascomb, always encouraged Testimony to keep writing and despite what some believed, she did.
Testimony released her first spoken word project by God’s grace on December 9, 2010 entitled, “Out of This Vessel.” In June of 2011, Testimony was a contestant in the B. Smith B.
