MC 900 Ft. Jesus is the stage name of Mark Griffin, a classically-trained musician turned rapper and experimental musician born in Dallas, Texas.

Griffin's MC name came from a sermon by Oral Roberts, Griffin's first album, Hell With The Lid Off (1990) was released under the name "MC 900 Ft. Jesus With DJ Zero", but the MC has sole billing on Welcome To My Dream (1991) and One Step Ahead of The Spider (1994). According to a Chicago Tribune article dated November 8, 1991, DJ Zero appears on Welcome To My Dream under his real name, Patrick Rollins, because of uncertainty about whether he would have been able to tour in support of the album. Rollins/Zero is not listed in the credits for One Step Ahead of The Spider.

MC 900 Ft. Jesus' music is influenced by hip-hop, incorporating many samples. "Hell With the Lid Off" included the cult single "Truth is Out of Style". His next hit was "The City Sleeps", which explores the mind of a serial arsonist. His last cult hit, "If I Only Had a Brain", created a splash thanks to a video directed by a young Spike Jonze as well as exposure on MTV's Beavis and Butt-Head and heavy national tour support.

On September 18, 2003 someone claiming to be Griffin posted on a message board the following message:

Glad someone remembers me. Still living in Dallas. Not doing any music at the moment. Actually I've been working on getting my flight instructor certificate. Aviation is a very cool antidote to the frustrations of the music biz. I guess one of these days I'll get some more music together, just can't say when yet. Take care, -Mark G. a/k/a mc 900 ft jesus

As of 2007, he began DJing weekly at a Dallas music venue, Lee Harvey's, located in the Cedars neighborhood near downtown.
