Today on Your Daily Chocolate, Patty interviews Christian rapper and motivational speaker David Paul Brooks, whose single “Undefeated 3.0” hit #1 on the National Radio Hits AC40 chart. Brooks shares his mission to give youth positive, faith-based alternatives to negative music, shaped by raising two sons and by his mother’s church foundation.
He discusses his Grammy- and Dove-winning group DOC splitting due to life changes, rebuilding as an independent artist, and collaborating with Bootsy Collins’ circle. Brooks explains his singles-first strategy leading to multiple #1 songs and the Undefeated album tied to a book and upcoming three-song mini-movie addressing child trafficking, the Me Too movement, and peer pressure. He describes the animated film “Power in the Name Of,” Party in the Park outreach honoring first responders with giveaways, and his “No Bad Days” book and TikTok show.
