Rapper Joseph "Afroman" Foreman has turned over a new leaf. The rapper who scored a pop hit, "Because I Got High" in 2002 has given his life to God, according to Allhiphop.com. The rapper's debut set, The Good Times, was certified gold last year for sales of 500,000 copies.
Foreman told the Hattiesburg American that his label Universal Records wasn't ready to embrace his new found outlook on life, saying, "They want to keep me in the marijuana jar. They want me to be Redd Fox...Universal is a bunch of people that are looking at charts and bank accounts and they don't know music. They've got history with the old Afroman and they don't want to roll the dice."

Foreman isn't concerned about continuing his relationship with Universal Records. Instead, the rapper would like to reach young children through Christian rap. He explained, "Life is not promised. God created me. He gave me a voice and a talent to spread his word. Instead of that, I was telling them to get high."

Calls to Universal Records were not returned at press time.
