T1 Beats
This is the production side of the 4 man crew called the Cruzaiders. We are Holy Hip Hop artists in the same vein as the Crossmovement, Flame, Da Truth and many more. We have one goal: to minister to men and women everywhere through the median of hip hop music. On this site, current or aspiring Holy Hip Hop or R&P artists can find instrumentals that will help them in the pursuit of their music ministry.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We have performed with Holy Hip artists like Da Truth and Crossmovement as well as Christian artists like Big Daddy Weave, Ginny Owens, Overflow and others. Look for our new album to be released by summer of '06. Holla

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play the guitar and keyboard, but for now I do not play live (I will though in the future). We do live event all the time as a group. Hit up the website listed below for booking.
Your musical influences
My beats intertwine a gambit of styles rangin' from Midwest to east coast to R&P (rhythm and praise). I even got a few dirty south joints. My favorite producers are Baby Dub,Lee and Rodney Jerkins, Kanye West (gotta respect the talent) and Timbaland. Also, can't forget the musical genuis of Kirk Franklin.
What equipment do you use?
Acoustic Guitar and Motif ES. Period.
Anything else?
I'm trying to raise the quality of Holy Hip Hop production and artistry inasmuch as God gives me His grace to do so. I do have beats for sale, so if you need exclusive or non exclusive joints, just holla at me.
