The 300

“The 300” is a gospel hip-hop praise team that was birthed out of a humble ministry in Cleveland, Ohio; a ministry whose sole purpose is to exalt the name of the Lord through sound doctrine, paired with a Hip- Hop beat.

About Them:
Being a small ministry without the means to pay musicians, the praise team initially had to sing along with gospel CD’s during Worship services. One day, two members of the praise team wanted to bless the congregation with a song that they had written. The song was an awesome fusion of Gospel and Hip-Hop. Immediately other members of the praise team began to collaborate, and moving in the same gift, they were well received by the entire congregation; young and old alike. The song set the stage for the birth of “The 300” and 3RDay Records. The name “300” was revealed through the book of Judges, chapter 7. The name reflects the non-compromising commitment of this outreach ministry to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ; a remnant willing to stay in the battle as they work to reveal Gods glory through song. Therefore, their hope and prayer is that “he who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit of the Lord is saying…to His people”.

What Makes Them Different:
The 300 are not Hip-Hop performers doing Gospel, but a Gospel Praise Team ministering through Hip-Hop. Gospel Rap/Hip-Hop is not new to the Gospel community, but an entire praise team putting it down is. Their style is not just appealing to the young adults, but to anyone who enjoys great music of substance, will enjoy The 300. Each song has purpose; bringing forth issues, addressing real life ups and downs, rights and wrongs, truths and deceptions. The 300 goes against every stereotype of their generation. Not only are they dedicated members of their church, but they are truly great examples for their families, communities and to all that they have had the pleasure of ministering to.

In Conclusion:
As humanity and society continue to change, Gospel music also continues to evolve to speak to the hearts of each generation. From the heartfelt spirituals of the plantations, mass choirs of the 70’s and 80’s, through the progressive sound of the 90’s to our present time, The 300 has made an impression that is to be remembered.

They have been well received throughout Cleveland, Ohio and surrounding cities. Their music is currently being played been on radio stations abroad and throughout the continental United States. They have opened up for “Level 316? from Cross Movement Records, National Recording Artist “Flame”, and have also opened up for the hit play “Church Mess”. The 300 has been on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), local radio, cable, as well as being interviewed on various radio and internet radio stations. Music downloads can be found on CD Baby, iTunes and Amazon. They have also been apart of The FEST with Casting Crowns, Jamie Grace and others.

With over 100 songs and 10 solo artists, The 300 is sure to minister to your heart on every level! The 300 has recently been signed by 3RDay Records and will be releasing their first album in 2013. They can be found on 3rDay Records website: www.3rdayrecords.com.
