His song Old School feat.

Marks and Barbara Marks, with Tony winner John Doyle set to direct. [1][4][3] Early Life He attended DuPont Manual High School in Louisville, Kentucky were he was in the chemistry class of Dr. Jeffrey Wigand his freshman year Dr. Wigand was portrayed by Russell Crowe in the 1999 film The Insider directed by Michael Mann, which also stars Al Pacino and Christopher Plummer.[8] Dupont Manual is also the same high school as Nicole Scherzinger, Kita Williams, R-Prophet (Nappy Roots).[8] Here he obtained a scholarship for The University of Northern Iowa. While attending he became a redshirt freshman on the 2002 Gateway Conference Championship Team, and Division 1-AA Semi Finalists in the same year. He had a chance to play football at Morehouse college the same year Denzel Washington's son was to attend but opted for the athletic scholarship at University of Northern Iowa, were he took theatre classes his freshman year.[8] Growing up in Louisville, KY's westend home of Cassuis Clay (Muhammad Ali) Revelation moved to Los Angeles's south central overhills and slauson area where he started out as an actor, working on music video sets. He was inspired to create music thanks to people from his home state like KY Engineering from Lexington, KY who engineered for Lil Wayne, Static Major and R. Prophet (Nappy Roots) Revelation aspired to be an engineer but started out as a sample based producer, using resources like the site hiphopisread.com and the Kevin Nottingham Music blog to study the art of beat making. His music is further influenced by artists like Jay Z, Nas, Tupac, Notorious BIG, Master P and the 5 Percenter Culture. Revelation refers to himself as a new age, conscious rapper. He has a mission with his music to spread conscious enlightenment to the inner city communities through the knowledge of self.[1] Influences Revelation also a graphic designer was influenced by Jean-Michel Basquiat because he touched on different topics in his paintings from racism to politics. Basquiat used social commentary in his paintings to create a conversation that will last for ages. Which is the message Revelation is trying to convey in his music. Revelation is a student of the 5 percenter ideology which his pseudonym is based on. As a student of the 5 percenter teachings in supreme mathematics his name is significant. Supreme Mathematics is a variety of numerology specific to the theology and philosophy of the 5 percenters. Revelation is the revealing or disclosing of some form of truth or knowledge through communication with a deity or other supernatural entity or entities. So therefore it makes sense that, through the teachings of the 5 percenter Revelation through knowledge of self realized he was a God. Revelation 13:18 has stirred up controversy with his alias, because in scripture Revelation 13:18 speaks to the idea of the Mark of The Beast or the Antichrist. In the bible, Revelation 13:18 states "This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666". 666 is significant in Supreme Mathematics because 666 is 6+6+6 =18, 1+8= 9 and the number 9 in Supreme Mathematics meaning is to be Born, which is the completion of all things in existence. All things must come from the knowledge to be born to the cipher. To be born to knowledge of self is to be - born to the reality of one's self. Knowledge Black man plus wisdom Black woman equal born understanding Black child which is complete within the cipher. Revelation 13:18 comes from the same principles and tenants as Jay-Z, Nas, Rakim, RZA and other hip hop legends indoctrinated in the 5 percenter ideology. Founder of Knowledge+ Wisdom = Understanding Inc. Revelation's music is a tribute to the culture.[12][1] [1]1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/tosv2.html?vid=&uuid=75c35060-530f-11e9-b3ce-6df2b7ae5072&url=L3Jlc2VhcmNoL3N0b2Nrcy9uZXdzL2FydGljbGUuYXNwP2RvY0tleT02MDAtMjAxOTAzMTEwNDI3TTJfX19fX19FVVBSX19fX18xODk4RTE2RDY0ODcxODI1OUMwRjEtMSZleD10cnVlJnRpY2tlcj1WQU46QkI=|title=Bloomberg - Jay-Z a huge fan of Revelation 13:18 song "Old School" feat Jean-Michel Basquiat|last=|first=|date=|website=www.bloomberg.com|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2019-03-30}} [https://m.imdb.com/name/nm4275312/][6][7]2. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://www.cbs8.com/story/40097983/jay-z-a-huge-fan-of-revelation-1318-song-old-school-feat-jean-michel-basquiat|title=Jay-Z a huge fan of Revelation 13:18 song "Old School" feat Jean-Michel Basquiat|website=www.cbs8.com|language=en|access-date=2019-03-30}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6745136/|title=Revelation 13:18|website=IMDb|language=en|access-date=2019-03-30}} 4. ^1 {{Cite web|url=http://top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=102681|title=Revelation 13:18 Artist/Producer/Designer - This Calls For Wisdom (ASCAP)|website=Top40-Charts.com|access-date=2019-03-30}} 5. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=https://play.google.com/store/music/artist/Revelation_13_18?id=A4hg2s34oywgcmf5lbod2iwhjmq&hl=en_US|title=Revelation 13:18 - Music on Google Play|website=play.google.com|language=en|access-date=2019-03-30}} 6. ^1 2 3 {{Cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4275312/|title=Walter Vincent Wright|website=IMDb|language=en|access-date=2019-03-30}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.worldafropedia.com/afropedia/Nation_of_Gods_and_Earths|title=Nation of Gods and Earths - World Afropedia|website=www.worldafropedia.com|language=en|access-date=2019-03-30}} 8. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/ca/artist/jean-michel-basquiat/267546018|title=Jean-Michel Basquiat on Apple Music|website=Apple Music|language=en-ca|access-date=2019-03-31}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/legacy-hip-hop-producer-j-dilla-will-be-recognized-among-collections-smithsonian-180952164/|title=The Legacy of Hip-Hop Producer J Dilla Will Be Recognized|last=Kutner|first=Max|website=Smithsonian|language=en|access-date=2019-03-31}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/gateway/niu-roster.htm|title=USATODAY.com - Northern Iowa roster|website=usatoday30.usatoday.com|access-date=2019-04-02}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/revelation-1318-mn0003679081|title=Revelation 13:18 {{!}} Album Discography|website=AllMusic|language=en-us|access-date=2019-04-04}} |
