Brady Goodwin Jr. (born December 2, 1976), better known by his stage name Phanatik, is an American East Coast rapper and author who has recorded both independently and as a founding member of the two time Grammy-nominated Christian rap group The Cross Movement.
His debut album, 95 Til Infinity, was released independently in 1995, after the break-up of his rap group, The Righteous Gang.
Phanatik has since released three other solo albums (Crime & Consequences, Party Over Here and The Art of Battle Rap).
In 2015 the former rapper expanded his professorial roster when he began teaching courses in apologetics, biblical studies and cultural engagement at C.U.T.S.
The author released two more books, From Hip Hop to Hollywood: The Art of Christianity and Navigating the N Word in March 2013 and December 2015 respectively.
