Timothy Wright & the Concert Choir, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Donnie McClurkin, Tye Tribbett & Greater Anointing and others.
They released their sophomore project "Theory of Evolution" on Relevant Praise Music Group, an independent record label in 2007. Tribe of Praise videos can be seen on MusicChoice, BET and Gospel Music Channel.
