As a founding member of The Cross Movement, Phanatik’s ministry had been in the spotlight for about a decade by 2007 when the group released its last album.
Since then, most of his ministry has been local.
Phanatik, who teaches Hip Hop & Ethics at the Community College of Philadelphia and Gratz High School, talked about that transition in an interview with Rapzilla at Legacy Conference 2016.
He also previewed a couple of books that he’s currently writing. To date, Phanatik has published five books under his real name, Brady Goodwin Jr. — Navigating the N-Word, The Art of Christianity, The Death of Hip Hop, Marriage and Morals and City of Allegory, Book One and Two.
