CAN HIPHOPPERS GO TO HEAVEN?

From Hip-Hop to Heaven Ministries Hosts A Virtual Prayer Service Tonight For Slain Eminem Protege Tonight at 9pm ~ 605-990-0200, Conference Code 984954#

New York, NY (BlackNews.com) - Rapper "Proof" from Eminem's platinum selling group D-12 was shot and killed early yesterday morning in Detroit. The gunfight left Proof dead, a bouncer seriously wounded and another black eye on the Hip-Hop community.

Since 2004, the From Hip-Hop to Heaven Ministries network has grown to include hundreds of Gen X'ers collectively looking to God for answers. Generation X grew up in the 80's, enjoyed the prosperity of their own businesses in the 90's and now, many in their 30's, are forced to make some serious decisions about the direction of their lives.

"It's not cool to be heading into your 40's and still getting shot at," says Saideh Browne, author of the book From Hip-Hop to Heaven and founder of a ministry that carries the same name. "Life after my Hip-Hop career was a very painful transition, but I made it and I'm happier because of it," she continues.

From Hip-Hop to Heaven Ministries hosts a prayer call every Wednesday night designed to uplift and empower. Tonight's call will feature a special prayer for Proof and Hip-Hop artists worldwide. "My goal is to simply reveal God to my generation, I encourage people to remain anonymous on the call, but know that we are praying with and for them."

Saideh closed her urban marketing firm once she made the transition into ministry but continues to use the same techniques to get God's loving message to the masses. The marketing mix of street teams and posters now includes Podcasting and TeleConferences; just more methods for keeping Jesus in the mix in 2006!

About the Company

From Hip-Hop to Heaven Ministries was founded by former Hip-Hop industry insider Saideh Browne. After years of working in various positions then starting her own urban marketing firm, Saideh exposed herself and her family to the prosperity and misogynistic landscape of the enticing yet destructive Rap music world. In 2003, she made her exodus.

After taking a year off to assess life and her place in it, Saideh wrote the book From Hip-Hop to Heaven, released in 2004, and later founded her ministry.

Saideh is proud of her college degree as well as all of her honors and achievements, but her true happiness is found as a wife and loving mom to her two sons. She is a published author, handles the day-today operations of a rapidly growing ministry and speaks at youth and faith based conferences and events around the country.

The From Hip-Hop to Heaven Youth Empowerment Conference DVD (recorded live in January 2006) and Mix Tape will be released in June 2006, in honor of Black Music Month.

Saideh Browne, author From Hip-Hop to Heaven and founder From Hip-Hop to Heaven Ministries is available for interview.
