Why this name?
The T.H.U.G.R.I.D.A.H.S. came from E.N.F.A.MALE thinking about doing a group thing, so he came up with a name that was streets with a meaning to every letter. The T-THE-H-HIGHEST-U-UNDER-G-GOD-R-RESSURRECTED-I-INDIVIDUAL-D-DEFEATING-A-ALL-H-HOOD-S-SOLDIERS. Because we wanted to combat the stuff going on in the streets, and bring in the solution. (Jesus)
Do you play live?
The T.H.U.G.R.I.D.A.H.S. have done a few live performances at a few places. One place is at the youth cafes in Federalsburg, M.D., and the streets,Balitmore,M.D. and the eastern shore. One of the best moments was when they did North Caroline High School and they took control of the whole atmosphere, and people were crying after the "All My Heart" song.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
We think alot of people can hear your music online, and if your unsigned than that can get you atleast heard, but it also can have a down side when it comes to trying to sell music, because people can bootleg your work.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We would sign a record contract with a major label if it respect, and push what we are doing without hassle. But we are ultimately going to start our own label.
Band History:
The T.H.U.G.R.I.D.A.H.S. can be traced back to single artists like E.N.F.A.MALE, who got with his boy B.I.G.D.R.A.K.E., and they wanted to do a few things together to bring in the real hiphop. So they brought together a caliboration of Individuals such as E.N.F.A.MALE, D.O. and B.I.G. D.R.A.K.E. and Vic-C who weren't afraid to bust back in hiphop at the wrongs going in the music or entertainment or just life suituations. They are trying to bring life with the music they bring. They are so creative and the skill level is nothing to slip on. They are under-rated right now, but all will see, and some are starting to see that now. They will produce great and have what it takes to go all the way. But their true love is to the GOD that changed their lives.
