THis is an INCREDIBLE CD! I have been searching for Christian artists with this style of music FOREVER. In mainstream music, you hear a lot of styles like this; black eyed peas, Fergie, Shakira are a few I can think of. They all have really bad lyrics though. Group 1 Crew's lyrics are clean and their style is unique to the christian music world. I finally got the CD of my dreams! I absolutely Love it and recommend it HIGHLY!

I just saw them in concert last night at my church and they are so on point. These three are really walking with the Lord and have testimonies that are so incredible. I tend not to like a lot of Christian music out there because it's just so...cheesy. This is right up there with anything in mainstream radio except with a much cleaner message. Forgive Me is a song I will never forget - it is incredible how they use Psalm 23 with that chilling music. Everybody's Got a Song to Sing is so good (especially after hearing them explain what it was all about).

These three are such humble servants of God. My husband worked the concert last night and got a chance to sit down and talk with them. I will support them 100%!

This group gives new meaning to "Christian" music. It's so fresh and so mainstream the absence of profanity is the only clue that it's not mainstream hip hop you're listening to. PERFECT solution for my [...]who loves hip hop but hates when I edit his choices. He loves it too, his favorite is track 6 Forgive Me. This is exactly what hip hop needs. Thank you Group 1--YOU ROCK

This crew is pretty amazing! They're debut CD is probably the best debut from a Christian artist that I've heard since Casting Crowns' platinum-selling, self-titled album. With musical styles ranging from pop, rock, reggae, hip-hop, and more, it's safe to say that this crew knows what variety is all about. Also, if you love tobyMac (a member of former group DC Talk), you'll greatly enjoy this release. You can tell that the guys, Pablo and Manwell, have a natural ability to rap, while the female singer, Blanca, knows how to belt the high notes with such little effort. There are some really fun songs like: "Let It Roll", "Put Like That", "What Yo Name Is", "Clap Ya Hands", and a song that everyone of all ages will probably like, "(Everybody's Gotta) Song To Sing". And then there's the songs of just saying that we're nothing without God: "Can't Go On" and "Forgive Me". The pop/reggae style songs "Love Is A Beautiful Thing" and "Lot In Common", a slow song that has a great message: we shouldn't make fun of people and seperate ourselves from them, because, in the end, we do have a "lot in common". And finally, there's the Group 1 Crew anthems, "No Plan B" and "I Have A Dream". There's other great songs, too, and they all deserve 5 stars.
After hearing this release, there's one thing for sure--Group 1 Crew will--if they haven't already--etch their names in the Christian music world. I would definitely recommend this new, awesome group. They have a great sound and praise God at the same time. Get ready for some dancin'!!

I found out about these folks via myspace. They are amazing! I play their songs on my myspace page all the time and I can't get enough. They use very popular beats and mixes but their words are fresh and spiritually inspiring which is the key! It's kinda a dance, rap, hip hop, type album that keeps you grooving all the way through! I love it!

I love this group! They are awesome. They have a unique blend of pop, hip hop, and rap that mixes into an incredible cd. They are blatent about their faith and it comes through in the music. I bought this cd because I loves the snippets of music that I heard, and because it was recommended if you buy Toby Mac's Portable Sounds. Group 1 Crew reminds me of Souljahz and Toby Mac's new cd. I like rap, but not on the whole album, and I like to understand what words are being sung. All three of Group 1 Crew's members have awesome vocals and they all sing on the songs, and it just works so well together. I have had this cd in my car for a week and keep replaying it, it is so awesome! You can't help but move when you listen to this. My favorites are tracks 3-7, but I love all the songs! Buy this, you will not regret it, and it has an incredible price!

The first song I heard off this cd is Can't Go On..So that's the reason I bought it. It's a really really great cd!

Cannot remember where I heard these guys for the first time but once I did, their music and message became infectious! I bought the entire CD, run it on my Ipod all the time and workout...yes that is right...workout at the gym all the time to them....! My favorite is warming up to "Clap Ya Hands"! Talk about an uplifting way to reach your target heartrate :)!! This is a must have CD!!!

I just heard this group for the very first maybe 3 weeks ago while watching INSP and I was Amazon looking up a copy of their cd by the time the video went off the tv!!! I am hooked now. Great cd!

I first heard the group Group 1 Crew featured on the hit TV show One Tree Hill! Their song Forgive Me was featured on this hit show and oh my goodness as I listened to the words and the chours about Palms 23. I was like oh my goodness whatever this song is called and whoever this group is I have to find them!! So I went on the the CW website and found the One Tree Hill part of the site and I remember finding that song and when I did I was so happy!! I downloaded the song and when I finally got to listen to it up close and personal I was like WOW!! This song has hip-hop and R&B beats with a positive message that will reach young people like it did myself.

A few weeks later I was looking up information on the WinterJam 2008 concert that was coming to my area I wanted to see who was going to be performing etc... As I was looking at the list of performers not only was the group Skillet going to be there but, so was Group 1 Crew!! I was so excited and knew I wanted to go not only to see Skillet but, Group 1 Crew as well!!

January 12, 2008 came and I was so bummed out because I didn't think that my Mom & I would be able to go and if it was not for my sister we probably would not have been able to attend. We get to the civic center and while we are waiting for the show to start I was looking at the booklet that was being given to people as they were coming in the door and my Mom showed me the page where Group 1 Crew was featured and I started reading a little bit about them. Now here is the part where I have to be honest I was not sure while waiting for the show to start if I was really going to become a fan of their music or just really really like the song Forgive Me that was featured on One Tree Hill. When Group 1 Crew was announced and I started listening to Blanca Pablo and Manwell I was just amazed at how well that these 3 totally different voices sounded so beautiful together!! The energy and the compassion they have for what they are singing about will get you up out of your seat, bed, couch wherever you are and you will want to sing and dance!!

Now because I had already loved their song Forgive Me before I had seen them live I knew I wanted to give their music a chance and so my Mom bought me a T-shirt CD combo pack and I got home that night just floating on cloud 9 not only because I had fallen in love with this group's music but, also because I got to meet them and get their autographs!!!!

There is one more thing I absolutely love about them not only is there music awesome and beautiful but, there are no stars in this group it is about everyone in the group and everyone's contributions and what each member brings to the group it's not just about one person it is about the group as a whole and that is where their name Group 1 Crew comes in at.

So, all I'm trying to say is if you are looking for a group who's music has R&B & Hip-hop beats with a message of true love and hope and when you're feeling down and out and feel that no one on this planet loves you and all around has a great mesage about our Heavenly Father's love for all of His children and you are looking for encouragement and peace then look no further as Group 1 Crew if you buy their album I promise you, you will not be disappointed!!!
