DYNAMIC RAP DUO "CATCH 2"
CHANGES THE FACE OF GOSPEL MUSIC
NEW GOSPEL GROUP REACHES TODAY'S YOUTH WITH POWERFUL TESTIMONYS
LOS ANGELES, CA--- "Catch 2"'s self-titled debut project has
been critically acclaimed by the media and will make a mark in Gospel
radio in the upcoming weeks.
Their lyrics are being compared to rap music's "Father of Hip-hop"KRS-One
and their urban style and up-tempo beats puts them in the same category as
Gospel rap pioneer B.B.Jay. This debut project takes Gospel and Hip-hop
music lovers to another level of praise with street-smart style and urban
flair that's guaranteed to lead souls to God's kingdom.
What sets "Catch 2" aside from other rap artist? Their
testimony! This duo consisting of Eric Crowder and Jahmy Graham, both
thank God daily for keeping them alive during their crime spree as
troubled youths. Eric a previous thief and drug user and Jahmy convicted
of attempted murder at age 14 found themselves sitting in the same place
on May 16, 1999, Bethany Community Church Outreach! To their surprise,
they had both been invited to the same place by two different individuals
and for the first time in years they were in the same place at the same
time doing something constructive that would change their lives forever!
By committing their lives to Christ and dying in their sins, "Catch
2" was born and so was a powerful ministry that gave way to God's
anointing and grace! Rescued from a path of spiritual and physical
destruction and delivered to a life of truth, fulfillment, and praise
"Catch 2" is making their mark on the Gospel music scene while
continuing to lift up God's name in song and draw all men unto him.
