The Great Commission
The Great Commission writes ear-grabbing lyrics to body moving beats. Spiritual yet street, this collage of artists brings their unique brand of "Southern Flava" to the Hip Hop scene. Their performances are lively and enjoyable to both young and young at heart.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
How in the world could this kind of music come from Memphis, TN - the birth place of blues, rock & roll, and space age rap of 8 Ball & MJG and 3-6 Mafia?
Only God!
God took twelve men a long time ago to fulfill his great commission. Starting in November of 2002, a select group of young people have been chosen to continue that same mission found in Matthew 28:19 & 20 known as The Great Commission.
Their servant leader Charlie "C-Dub" Folsom, Jr. started at age 12 rapping for God. Twelve years later he was rapping on the Bobby Jones show. Now, he and his band of brothers and sisters continue the good fight through this unique and bumping ministry. It's something that the young & young at heart will listen & dance to.
The Great Commission Members currently are all members of the Longview Heights S.D.A. Church in South Memphis where Joe Grider is pastor.
TGC is willing to share the Gospel, their music, energy, and testimony to anyone on a first come first blessed basis. Contact them today and expect a blessing.
