The Remnant - Hip Hop's Best Kept Secret

Every so often you come acoss a trio of emcees along the likes of a De La Soul, Brand Nubian, and on some songs, The Beastie Boys. I first heard of The Remnant while riding in a van on a singles outting with my church friends. When we put in the CD of their sophmore album, After School Special, no one knew what to expect except for the person who brought the CD. Upon hearing it, we laughed hard and nodded are heads even harder as we heard the beats come on right after the skits. After listening to that album I wanted to meet them and after doing so I was not disappointed. So now I'm making it my business that the rest of the hip hop community gets to know them as well.

The Remnant brings a sixth sense of creativity to the game....something that has been missing from hip hop for a long time. If it was a mathematical equation it would go something like this: Laughter X Dope Skills X Funky Beats= Platinum Status.

Originality meets Skills 

The Remnant's retro-progressive style remains a rubrix cube where music, literature, relationships, God, and Disney converge to create nothing close to a pattern. The only consistency is quality, thought-provoking music. Music forged from a deep camaraderie, a ministry bound by a brotherhood, and a purpose anchored in Jesus Christ, these men sought to fill a gap between the passionate love of the Divine and the reckless ways of mankind. Clinging to the promise that the minor can affect the major and the few can influence the multitude, The Remnant holds tightly to the scripture Jeremiah 23:3 whereby through obedience and sacrifice, their numbers might grow. This culminated into the summer 2003 release of their debut project entitled Restless Youth on CaJo International. Featuring radio-friendly anthems like The Real and feel good classics like Christian Girl , Restless Youth signified a breakthrough for the group and their constituents. Recieving much acclaim from fans, disc jocks, and artists alike, The Remnant was asked to represent on two nationwide tours spanning across 60 cities and 25 states over the course of three months. Performing everywhere - churches, conventions, conferences, bars, amphitheatres, and stadiums - they were able to expand their fan base beyond the southeast region of the country gaining favor along the eastern seaboard and throughout America's heartland.

In the spring of 2005, The Remnant geared up for their second effort entitled After School Special. Instead of simply building on the foundation of the first album, the guys decided to expand the groundwork with an independent record that reflected their growth. Crowd-movers like Ignore This and Jitney found equal footing next to think-pieces like Felt Tip Skies and Parting Gifts - all of which combined to form thier most groundbreaking work to date. Since the release of this record, The Remnant has garnered much general market support as evidenced by a consistent booking schedule. Secular venues, promoters, and artists have also enjoyed the group's vibrant stage show which highlights succinctly poignant lyrics atop hard-hitting sonic backdrops. The work is paying off as The Remnant was nominated for "2005 Best in Holy Hip Hop" by Atlanta Gospel Choice Awards & added as featured artists on 2006 A3C Independent Hip-Hop festival roster. Looking towards the future, The Remnant expects success with a simple plan: Go where God leads and pray that you will come along.
