Beyond the Beat is the story of rapper Fresh IE (Rob Wilson) who transformed his life of drugs and violence through music and faith.  In 2004, he became the first Canadian Christian artist ever nominated for a Grammy award; then he was nominated again in 2006.

Today, from the basement of a small inner city church in Winnipeg, Fresh IE is using his music and story to reach out to kids from the streets, helping youth fight gangs, drugs and suicide.
