He Loves Me
Truth For Freedom started as a movement to speak truths that other individuals refrain from. In early 2007 the robinson family begin recording songs of change. They begin recording their struggles, pains, triumphs and emotional experiences in musical format. Their first CD project is set to release in late 2008. They are backed by Atlanta's best break dancing crew (voted by Creative Loafing magazine) the H.B.O. Crew, they have close ties with The Pride Institute (a non-profit dedicated to instilling a sense of pride in minority individuals), Living Unity ( a homeless outreach ministry) and Zealot D'Andre's DREAM, a character based entertainment company.
Why this name?
Truth for Freedom started as a non-profit organization. When it was discovered that a lot of the volunteers could sing, rap and or dance, it was transformed into a musical ensemble. Our mission is to distribute truth through music and to show that "truth" is our only freedom.
Do you play live?
Truth for Freedom performs at many churches, private venues, and fundraiser events across the southeast. We absolutely love performing. Members Mr. Charlie and Bolo are members of H.B.O. Crew, a well known breakdancing crew in the Atlanta area. Our favorite part of performing is watching kids have fun while accepting the truths in our music!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet only enhances the music industry. It takes the power from large corporations and spreads it across smaller organizations and individuals. It evens the playing field.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We could talk, but a record contract is not a goal of The Truth for Freedom Movement

Your influences?
We are into combining different genres of music and overlaying it all with hip-hop. Our music has a strong spirituality but shouldnt be labeled as simply Holy Hip Hop or Christian rap. You'll hear a little jazz, a little trip-hop, a lot of dance / miami bass, gospel, and plenty of southern funk.
Favorite spot?
Atlanta, GA of course!!
