KJ-52, born Jonah Sorrentino, broke through at a time when rap and religion rarely mixed. He was a very prominent rapper in the early history of Christian Rap and Hip Hop. He holds the current Guinness World Record for the Longest Freestyle Rap. The meaning of his name is the following: “KJ” stands for the previous name he used “King J Mack.” “52 (which is five-two)” stands for
“John 6:9:”
Let me break it down plain
Five loaves two fishes is what the boy gave
So I took what I had and I just did the same
Put it all in his hands and I just walked away
I said Lord it’s all yours you can have the whole thing.“ as he says in "KJ Five Two.”
