Markilo Allen The life story of Markilo Allen is one of redemption and restoration. Born in Missouri, Markilo has been displaying
his musical talents from an early age. After moving to Salt Lake City, Utah as a teenager, Markilo was lured into
the street life. Subsequently he spent 11 years of his life Incarcerated for a gang related homicide. While in prison
Markilo still honed his craft knowing that when he was released his life would take another direction. But what he
didn’t know was that God had a plan for his life.
Kilo (as he is known to family and friends) tried his hand at the rap game that the world had to offer. Although he
enjoyed success in secular music he just wasn’t getting the satisfaction or the sense of accomplishment that
he expected. Now at the age of 35, Markilo has answered God’s call. “The Lord had called me to rap for His
Kingdom and I fought Him on it for awhile, but finally gave into His will,” he said.

earBuzz Review:
Perhaps having the Lord on your side is the key to rising to the top -
maybe being born again allows the clarity to compose, produce, and
perform with world-class style - we really don't know and wouldn't
presume to say yea or nea for anyone. .but, if it does, and it do, then
it did, and here it is - just about the finest Christian record we've heard.
Markilo Allen, and his 16 track CD, "More of Him", combines
grooves of EW&F along with hip/hop intelligent lyrics with a
delivery that is as youthful and approachable as Will Smith,
along with crooning/singing that soars and emotes like anything
we've heard professionally. The opening track, "Serve the Lord",
has a hook for serving the lord that infects the soul. Track 2,
"Get Jesus", moves into come Casio/industrial magic, with words
that penetrate steel, 'you wanna gang bang, slain cain, beat your
wife, take a drink, get high, fornicate, then get Jesus'. One of the
most commercial tunes is track 3's, "Can't Make me Doubt Him" –
the female vocal lineup is delicious. The upbeat groove is perfect.
Track 10, "Praise His Name", is another great vocal performance
by the men, this time - and the tightness of the chorus is as good
as it gets. Tongue in cheek takes the sermon into a direction in
"Direction" - as Markilo uses street names to help people get to
'our father's house'. Great CD for anyone - but especially essential
for believers of music and Jesus.
