We are four guys from three different backgrounds, from three different cities. New York (North Carolina), Oklahoma and Philadelphia. Abstractz is from Oklahoma, Cast Away is from Philadelphia, Holy Apostle is from New York but grew up in North Carolina, and Young King is from Philadelphia.

We are all happily married and have been blessed with some very loving and beautiful wives (Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the LORD.) and with some beautiful children too. We have all served in the Military, two of us are currently serving the military in South Korea. Young King moved back to the states and is serving there..... We all are still pressing forward together to keep lifting our Father's name (JESUS CHRIST) Two of us are in the U.S. Army and one is in the U.S. Airforce and one of us works with the Department of Corrections as a Correction Officer and also served as a member of the U.S. Navy.

Our group was formed officially in January of 2007. We all have enjoyed music and never thought that we would one day make music of our own. We are all CHRISTIANs and have our own personal walk with Christ. We have been Christian music artist fans for years and in 2004 our Lord put in our spirit to be more vocal in our Christian walk, at the time we didn't really know or quite accept what that meant.

We started being moved and led by the spirit to proclaim our faith and not sit on the side lines any longer in 2004. We began by handing out Christian tracks and mixtapes that other artist's had made free to download and pass out in 2005/2006. This was a way for us to become more active in our community. We soon became very active in our local church as well.

In September 2006 Abstactz and Holy Apostle purchased fruity loops Pro...n and began to make beatz and collab and by December 2006 had made quite a few beatz some were pretty good . In the time from around December to January Abstractz meets super producer James Washington in a local gym and build. In March of 2007 the group records their first song. Then began recording more music not really knowing where it was going. After the group had made just four songs they created the Bloodshed Beatz myspace page. How the group got their name. The members threw around a few names for the group and then Abstractz was studing GOD's beautiful word in Matthew and was moved by what he was studying and was lead to Matthew 26:28. Matthew 26:28 For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Thus the group Bloodshed Beatz was born.

The group continued making music with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Their 1st album The Outpour was completed in December of 2007 and is available for free at www.soundclick.com/bloodshedbeatz and their 2nd alblum The Outpour Red Album The SLIPRO remixes (is also available for FREE download on www.soundclick.com/bloodshedbeatz)...

This is a little back ground on our first performance which was a talent show... our wives were present and praying we didn't mess up and we got to share the stage with a good brother and friend in Christ JESUS, S.O.C.O.M. before that day we didn't know what we were doing exactly. We just wanted to tell the world about our Lord JESUS Christ... Yes we would like to sign with a Christian label, but if we don't we still won't stop preaching and teaching
