Do you play live?
You can check out a taste of our work on the Phatmass "Massmatics" compilation cd. www.phatmass.com
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I feel that it gives artist's another venue to express themselves and their message.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We're not in it for the cash. We do this to Glorify Jesus and His Church. Any profit/Donations that we recieve will be split between production costs and Catholic charities. It's a labor of love that allows us to reach the youth with a positive Catholic message, and at the same time give back to those who are suffering. If a record label can help us reach more people, then I see nothing wrong with making that move.
Band History:
It's basically a squad of Catholic rappers and Dj's who are hungry to spread the Catholic message.
Your influences?
Hip Hop, Funk, Soul, Jazz, Rock, and R&B.
Favorite spot?
