About Me
Jeramiah Giehl is Just paraDOX also known as DJ XDC was born in Des Moines, Iowa, but grew up in Oceanside, California. He works for Much Luvv Records and the National Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards (formerly Texas Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards).
Who I am. I'm a hip hop artist, producer, promoter, poet, songwritter, graphic artist and artist. I'm a conscious artist that does focus on the mainstream market. I've always really been feelin the whole east coast / underground vibe. In the words of Nas 'You can hate now but I won't stop now.' I keep it real, relevant and deep with my lyrics. I am a very driven person who lives to make an impact with my life and musical content.
What does my name mean? paradox: 1 : a tenet contrary to received opinion 2 a : a statement that is seemingly contradictory or opposed to common sense and yet is perhaps true
My Experience With Hip Hop
My first experiences with hip hop occurred in elementary school {back in 85} watching kids break dance on card board boxes. Initially I fell in love with Hip Hop developing a love for east coast crews like; BDP, Erik B & Rakem, EPMD, 3rd Base, Black Sheep, Onyx, Wutang Clan, Erick Sermon, Kieth Murray, Gang Starr, Redhead Kingpin & The FBI, DMX> I also started liking some some west coast cats like; NWA, E40, Warren G, DPG, X'Zibit, Dr Dre, Snoop and Bone Thugz & Harmony. Since I have returned to my passion for Hip Hop music I have been influenced by such artists as; Souljahz, Raiderz of the Lost, Dj Maj, KJ52, Grits, 4th Avenue Jones, La Symphony, Deepspace 5, Tunnel Rats, Nureau Ink, Von Won, Mr Ren, Future Shock, The Yunion, Flavor Alliance, Much Luvv Records, Enock, Nuwine, Nas, Eminem, El-P, Common, Black Star, The Roots, Jurassic 5, Black Eyed Peas, Manafest and Mars Ill.
I have always had a passion for poetic rhythmic expression and a desire to perform since the first time he heard hip hop music. I never acted upon this desire other than talking to a few friends about it, writing lyrics, rapping in the shower and doing the occasional Karoake to Kris Kross.
My first solo hip hop performance was in October of 2002 at a Mars Music in Dallas at an open mic competition put on by CMT. I performed a song he wrote titled Down on the Ground Again. It was a song I had written the night before to a beat I remixed of Mary J Blige/Method Man song 'your all I need.' I didn't win because most of the artist who performed were rock or country and the show was put on by CMT. However I did place well, receiving recognition and praise for my music and writing abilities.
Not long after really getting back into writing Hip Hop again I started traveling around performing in community centers, detention centers, clubs, apartment complexes and to homeless people on the streets. With the crew I was with I supervised an independent CD release titled the Fired Up Ep. I also was able to promote the group so that we had the opportunity to perform at Club 36:9, The Door Club, Insomnia Coffee House and competed in a battle of the bands on a Cable TV Show in which we received second place for a song I wrote and performed.
When I gave up rapping in 2003 for a season I moved more into promotion, planning, hosting events, running the JEM Stone Promotions, the DFW Hip Hop Alliance and Faze1 First Fridays. I then moved into being the marketing and promotions Manager for Much Luvv Records and being the media coordinator for the Texas Hip Hop Award Show soon to be national in 2008.

Personal Story Segment
Dr Dre Lyrics Motivated Me To Stay Out Of Gangs, Off Drugs & Kept Me From Going To Jail. Growing up in southern California I was into gangsta rap, I hung out with gangstas. I had the chance to get jumped into a couple gangs. I grew up in southern California, everybody was in a gang or had a click your rolled with. I lived in Deep Valley, We had the Deep Valley Crips, Deep Valley Bloods, Mesa Locos, FruitTown, Insane Crip Gang, Crip Mobb Gangstas. Me being a white dude and a minority in the hood I gew up in, pretty much could pick and choose who I clicked with but had to fight a lot and hung with dudes that robbed, and stole, did drugs and acted a fool. I had plenty of chances to get down with them, I did some robbing, did some vadalism. I had to fight alot, I was a mad good street fighter. I had to. being the minority in the hood and all. I was more of prankster and trouble maker than a gangster.
My freshman year of High School some of my best friends were DVC and I hung with them everyday. They asked me if I wanted to get jumped in I had been listening to NWA and a lyric stuck out to me that made the stop and think. On NWA's Express Yourself part of Dre's verse goes like this, "I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or a sess / Cause its known to give a brother brain damage / And brain damage on the mic don't manage / Nuthin' / But makin' a sucker and you equal / Don't be another sequel / Express Yourself... It's crazy to see people be / What society wants them to be. But not me!...Come on and do it / Express Yourself / From the heart." I was thinking about that and then there was an innocent church girl that got shot in a drive by at the corner store, some Mesa loco got shot at the end of my block and one of my boy Malcoms friend had did it. Ghetto bird was flying all over and finally swopped in and found him. The thing is that I said no to getting jumped in and in a matter of weeks they got caught some serious causes. Johnny B got 20 to life for being 17 1/2 and violently beating a dude over 60 times with fist, a board and stomping him in the ground, Malcom got 2 years in Juvi and 2 Years probation. I would have been with them that day had it not been for God through that verse making me stop and say now do I want to end up like them.
Then not long after that I was in the school library and this dude Junior from the DVB pulled a gat on me in the library at school and was like give me your money or I'll bust a cap in you. I was like man I don't have anything for you, put that down. He kept insisting and I said go ahead shoot me, put the gun down and leave me alone I don't have nothing for you, if you shoot me you won't make it out of this library and you will spend a long time in jail. knowing full well I had money but I wasn't about to give it up. Anyways he backed down and almost every time I saw him after that he was like, "you want me to jump you in my gang," I was like "no."
I didn't want to get shoot up, on drugs, OD or in jail because if I live that life I'm a either end up in jail, dead, shot or strung out on drugs. I decided that life is not for me. It was that lyric that started me toward a path away from all that and I decided to live above that. God eventually got ahold of me and the rest is HIS-story. Thats a trip that verse from a lost cat God could use to save me from drugs, crack, jail and death.
A Word Of Encouragement from Revival Times Ministries
G-d is looking for a people in the last days would to move in the spirit as Elijah and John The Baptist preparing the way for the L-rd to visit the earth in power. We as the church must have a desire to have an ear to heart what the spirit of the L-rd is saying to the churches and declare it from the roof tops, Rev 2:7. G-d is always doing something fresh and new in the spirit, in worship and in our ministry styles.
G-ds desire is for a living body not a dead stagnant religion. He wants a live, full relationship. Acts 2:19 says, "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the L-rd." G-d searches to and fro the earth visiting people and churches to see if He can find a faithful group of people that He can show Himself strong, so that He can set up a place of habitation. A place where people can constantly find healing, love, acceptance, power and transformation. G-ds desire is to send seasons of refreshing from His presence however we must repent, pray and obey so that G-d can make His name a praise in all the earth through us - 2 Chron 7:14. That which we sow in tears we shall reap in joy, for He will turn our mourning into dancing and our sorrow into joy.
In each generation G-d raises up a voice to declare what He is doing in the earth. Will you be part of the Generation of Jacob.

A Word For Christians
Christians with a Heavenly Home this earth is the only Hell you'll ever know! Determine to:
A Word For Non-Christians
Unless you accept Jesus as your L-rd and Savior, This earth is the only Heaven you will know! You must come to the realization that you are a sinner in need of G-d salvation (Rom 3:23; 6:23; Luke 18:13). You must then confess your sins to G-d and turn from your sins (Luke 13:3; Acts 3:19; 17:30; 1 John 1:9; Rom 18:19; James 5:16; Isaiah 55:7; Gal 2:18). You must believe that Jesus died for your sins and that He rose again to give you new life (Rom 10:9-13). It is imperative that you commit yourself to read the Bible regularly (Psa 119:9,11) Make prayer and bible study a habit. Set aside a time and a place to spend time alone with G-d. Be sensitive to The Holy Spirits. (Psa 119:164; John 16:7-13; Rom 8:14; Eph 6:18) Find a good spirit-filled, bible preaching church and become a faithful member. Fellowship with other believers on a constant and consistent basis, it is necessary for spiritual growth and accountability to fellowship with Christians daily or as often as possible (Acts 242:; Heb 10:25; 2 Pet 1:1). If you truly have committed your life to Christ you must follow the L-rds command to be baptized as a public declaration of your faith in Jesus (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38-39; 3:19). And last but not least tell everyone you can what Jesus has done for you and can do for them and that they must except them as L-rd and Savior.
