Pastor Charles A.R. is an ordained minister from Daytona Beach, FL. Fusing sound doctrine with deep South 808s, East Coast boom-bap percussion, and a rapid delivery, Charles A.R. brings Bible study with bass.  He is one of the most unique hip-hop rappers on the scene, with lyrical depth often delivered through a double and triple entendre, flow that captivates and substance that educates.  With more than three awards (2022 Wordplay and Worship Dax Hamma Challenge winner, 2022 WordPlay and Worship Cipher Series winner,  2021 Flavor Fest Rapzilla 16-Bar Challenge runner-up, and the 2020 Multi-Syllable Challenge winner) in as many years acknowledging his lyrical prowess, he is more than validated. 

With awards over the past two years that include the 2022 Winner of The Wordplay and Worship Dax Hamma Challenge and  Winner of The WordPlay and Worship Cipher Series, the 2021 Flavor Fest Rapzilla 16-Bar Challenge Runner-up, and the 2020 Winner of The Multi-Syllable Challenge, Pastor Charles A.R.’s lyrical skills have been more than validated.

With an affluent wordplay and zeal for teaching, his music is doctrinal while appeasing. With a history in battle rap, his approach is often more aggressive, and his double entendre bars give the listener something to dissect. Known humorously as the “Rapping Pastor,” Charles has embraced both his Pastoral role and his ability to go bar for bar with the best, hoping to use music as one of many viable forms of ministry to reach lost people.
