Release Year 2001

Mission Statement

Our mission is to be used as an instrument of God that through our music we would tear down and utterly destroy the words of the devil.

We are determined to be Godly examples, role models and men of integrity, not compromising our position in Christ, to the devices of Satan, bringing about a positive change in the lives of the people we meet and our music ministers to.

To relentlessly win souls and cause those that are in a backslidden condition to come back to Christ.

Group Thanks and What's Up

First and foremost we give thanks to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because without him nothing would be possible! To our Pastors, Drs. Rufus and Diane Thibodeaux for their prayers and words of encouragement. We thank our church family at Holding Forth the Word of Life for their continued support and to Minister Ruby Johnson, our Manager.

To Mom Johnson (Grandma) we can't begin to thank you enough, you truly are the coolest grandma around. Thanks to Minister E.B. Brown for everything, to Eion and CQ, and of course to Burton Looney, you know what's up ("ES")!

We want to thank Min. Percelle Gregory, for helping to wardrobe us. Thanks to our sister Faith, who made us play instruments (even when we didn't want to!) We also want to thank some of our greatest fans, Jemel, Andre, Charlesa and of course, our aunt Joan, who likes all our work!

A big thank you goes out to the baddest band around; Mario Willy, Marcelles, Ira and Roger E Lear. A big thank you goes out to Pastor Curtis Farrar and Worldwide Outreach for Christ for their support, also UBWE and New Wine Church.

Again, thanks to Ben Filene and the Minnesota Historical Society for all they have done. And a very special thanks go out to all of our families who have patiently stuck by us during this project and believed in us from the start!

May God continually bless all of you for your prayers and your faithfulness.
