MATT JOHNSON A.K.A STANDARD IS A 29 YEAR OLD EDUCATED(MALONE COLLEGE) NATIVE OF CLEVELAND, OH.

STANDARD HAS BEEN RAPPING SINCE JUNE 07 IN BETWEEN WORK/CHURCH/FAMILY LIFE. STANDARD HAD NEVER RAPPED PRIOR UNTIL THE TALENT WHICH WAS HIDDEN WITHIN WAS REALIZED BY HIS GOD BROTHER "SYXX DAY" WHO EVENTUALLY PRODUCED STANDARD'S FIRST LOCAL HIT/LOCAL FAVORITE "MATT-HEAD"; THEY FOLLOWED WITH ANOTHER CUT CALLED "CHINA TOWN".

BECOMING MORE STRENGTHENED IN HIS CHRISTIAN FAITH THEREFORE MAKING A CROSS OVER FROM GENERAL HIP HOP TO GOSPEL HIP HOP, AGAIN, HE HIT THE STUDIO WITH YOUNG SYXX & THEY PRODUCED STANDARD'S MOST POPULAR SONG TO DATE, CALLED "P.U.S.H".

THIS SONG WAS A FAVORITE ACROSS THE U.S. (GRASONVILLE/BALTIMORE, MD; PATERSON, NJ, AND CLEVELAND, OH) OF COURSE.

STANDARD HAS PERFORMED AT MANY CHURCHES, MINISTRIES AND GENERAL VENUES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES INCLUDING KINGDOM REVIVAL CENTER, HOLY MOUNTAIN DELIVERANCE MINISTRY, MESSIAH INTERNATIONAL AND SHEPHERD'S PASTURE FOR ALL NATIONS CHURCH; THE UNDERGROUND, PEABODY'S ETC...

DUE TO A ELONGATED FAMILY ISSUES, STANDARD WAS FORCED TO TAKE A SABATICAL FROM THE STUDIO FOR A WHILE; HOWEVER, RECENTLY HE RELEASED 2 NEW EXCLUSIVE MIXTAPE SONGS OFF THE BEATS OF #TIandFuture "Magic" called #KingdomSwaggin and #Jadakiss "We gon make it" called #ManOnTheRebound! THESE 2 NEW TRACKS WILL BE SURE TO BUZZ IN YOUR EARS...AND MAKE YOU VIEW YOUR CHRISTIANITY IN A WHOLE NEW LIGHT; HOPEFULLY TO MAKE YOU REALIZE, YOU CAN HAVE A FUN WITH YOUR MUSIC WITHOUT IT SOUNDING TRADITIONAL!
