FOREWORD
I
t is with great joy and gratitude that I present this publication
on behalf of Wellington a remarkable and determined Christian.
This publication will take any person on an eye opening jour-
ney as Wellington uncompromisingly delves into the depths of
circular hip-hop in a brave attempt to expose it’s links with occult
practices and devil worship. Although severe in his criticism he
often succeeds to strike an objective balance that leaves the reader
with enough room to make their own assessment. This publication
will certainly expose the reader to a spiritual world that only a few
knew existed within the realms of Hip Hop.
