Today’s most sought after Christian Hip-Hop Group, with over 15 combined years in the music business both secular and gospel, they have combined their talents, gifts, and the anointing to minister the Word of God through Rhyme And Praise (R.A.P.). They describe their music as “preaching on top of beats” to compel souls to Christ by going places that many traditionalist will not; such as the clubs, jails, and the streets where drugs, prostitution, etc.. is prevalent. The group’s members are SOD (Spirit of David), E.D. (Elder Day), IOG (Instrument of God). Their creativity, uniqueness, and simplicity causes both the young and old to learn their songs. The Gideon Crew formed through the vision of ElderDay in late 2006, to join forces to slay the demons that had them bound and return to rescue those engaged in the lifestyles they once knew. Experienced in performing in front of large audiences by sharing the stage with Run DMC, Doug E. Fresh, The Ghetto Boys, MC Breed, and JaRule. The Gideon Crew takes this experience and allows the Holy Ghost to use them to change lives. Their high energy, exhilaration and banging beats leaves the audiences wanting more. The lyrical delivery inspires and reaches the heart of listeners by sparking a fire of motivation to change the world by saving souls. Their debut album entitled “You Shoulda Killed Me When You Had Me” is thought provoking and speaks about the lifestyles they lived and the power of Jesus Christ to deliver. The messages on the album has deliverance advisory warning, where the truth in the songs are sure to set the captives free. In 2008, The Gideon Crew was nominated in 5 categories for the Detroit Music Awards in Gospel and Urban/Hip-Hop. They are the winners of the 2008 Best Gospel/Christian Recording for their debut CD. The Gideon Crew’s goal is to reach the minds of the hip-hop generation young and old by offering them music with a message that establishes a relationship with God.
