Ruslan KD - Ex-Atheist Breaks Down Israel, End Times & Why 48 Percent of Gen Z Is Jesus Curious (Video)
In this 2 October 2025 published video, host Shawn Ryan talks with Ruslan Karaoglanov, known professionally as Ruslan KD, a Christian hip-hop artist, entrepreneur, podcaster, and influencer of Armenian descent.
Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, to Armenian parents, he immigrated to the U.S. as a child in 1990 to escape anti-Armenian pogroms, a harrowing journey that included dramatic escapes. A refugee who embraced Christianity in his teens, Ruslan channels his experiences into positive, spiritually-minded music and content, blending hip-hop with cultural and faith-based commentary. As CEO of Kings Dream Entertainment, he produces albums, hosts the Ruslan KD YouTube channel—covering topics like the manosphere, podcast breakdowns, and Christian apologetics—and co-hosts podcasts exploring politics, culture, and the Gospel.
A former member of the group theBreax, he has opened for artists like Lecrae and advocates for godly ambition, mental health in faith communities, and bridging secular and Christian worlds through storytelling and entrepreneurship.
