Linne was an atheist for most of his childhood and dates his conversion to 1999.[3] Linne is Reformed in his soteriology (doctrine of salvation), and his 2008 album The Atonement included a song "Mission Accomplished", which defended limited atonement.[4]

Linne has collaborated with Lecrae, Trip Lee, Timothy Brindle, and numerous other Christian rappers. He appeared on the 116 Clique album 13 Letters. In 2011, Linne was featured on "The Lord is a Warrior", the tenth track from Matt Papa's This Changes Everything.[5][better source needed]

In 2013, Linne released a controversial single called "Fal$e Teacher$", in which he criticized prosperity theology, and named those whom he regards as false teachers, including Joel Osteen, Creflo Dollar, T. D. Jakes, Benny Hinn, Paula White, and Joyce Meyer.[6][7]

Linne is married to Blair, and has a son Sage. He is currently an assistant pastor at Del Ray Baptist Church in Alexandria, VA,[8][9] having previously been a member of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.[10] and Epiphany Fellowship in Philadelphia.[3]
