RAW DAWG MADD JUDGE: “LIFE MUSIC: PRAISE & WORSHIP FOR THE NEW MILLENIUM” Antoine “Raw Dawg” Wilson and Romon “Madd Judge” Phillips have found their purpose. Last year, on the eve of the release of what would become their last secular CD, Romon had an encounter with God. God told Romon that he should use his talents and gifts to bring souls into His kingdom. Like Jacob wrestling with God near the Jabbok River (Genesis 22-30), Romon agonized over this revelation for several days before he made the decision to change the focus of his music. When he informed Antoine of his transformation, Antoine initially resisted the idea of changing the duo’s focus to Christian rap music. But over a period of several months, God spoke to Antoine’s heart and soon he was on board with the new vision. Not satisfied with just doing the generic, outdated run-of-the-mill type of Christian rap, Antoine and Romon wanted to create their own brand of music that would complement the vision that God had given them. Thus, Life Music was born. Under their own label, Element 5 Entertainment, the duo will release music that promotes the Gospel of Jesus Christ while addressing the issues that Christians and non-Christians face in the world that we live in. Their first project, “Life Music”, is a musical diary that details the journey the men took to find their purpose in God. They are currently working on a new project to be released next year entitled “Go Tell It”, which picks up where “Life Music” left off. With the state of Hip Hop today, the world needs an antithesis to the negativity, degradation, and materialism that exists in rap music. This genre of rap music is a niche industry that is bubbling under the mainstream right now, but it’s just a matter of time before someone who creates this type of music breaks through. We believe we might be the duo who can do that. We offer a more positive spin than our secular counterparts, but don’t get it twisted. We tackle real issues such as sex, drugs, violence and relationships just like they do. The difference is that we not only touch upon these subjects, but we offer Godly solutions as well. That’s what Life Music is all about.
