Lettaz II Tha Bruthaz is the beginning of a reality that was not conveyed on the He's Coming album. Each of the songs on this 15 track collection of Lettaz reflect a truth that was hard for the BRUTHAZ GRIMM to admit. They were not as saved and sanctified as they believed themselves to be. On the title track -ME- CROW ventures into a style of Gospel Rap that not many were prepared for. His desire to be transparent allowed him to write about things that were not the norm. this brutal honesty began to cause controversy over the BRUTHAZ GRIMM Ministry. On the title track -DARKEST HOUR-, WARBABE also became more transparent as he told stories of a childhood that was clouded by memories of dysfunctional relationships between those he loved most. As you listen to the album you will notice that SOLEMN did not appear us much on this project as he did on the He's Coming project, and for good reason. At the time he was going through a lot of family issues, many of which would become the motivation for much of SOLEMNS solo albums. Artist Notes: Things were changing and everyone could tell by the way we were towards one another. It had been said that I was too prideful and forceful with the way that I handled Bruthaz Grimm business. As I look back, I guess I might have been. One thing I know I was for sure was carnal. I had moved to Vancouver to live first with DCP and LG wise and then ARTHUR. At the time I was sleeping with a few different women in the church. I didn't do it because I felt like it was a cool thing to do, I did it because I was lonely, depressed and too prideful to admit it to my pastor or my youth pastor. So instead of getting comfort from the holy spirit, I chose to get my comfort from the flesh of weak women. After a while I moved back to Portland and stayed with WARBEBE for a while. Me and WARBEBE were tight around this time too. I mean, we were always together. If I needed something my Brutha was always right there for me. Even though we were making music for God, we kicked it like devils. Women, drinking, going to the bars and the clubs, for a season that's how we got down, then we would write. We would write songs of change and Godliness, or songs of wickedness and repentance. That was us. CROW and WARBEBE. I would have never thought it could change, but it did, and it would never be the same. I was hearing things about how WARBEBE really saw me and I was willing to do things that would challenge my confession of WARBEBE as a friend. While we did our thing, SOLEMN and his wife were going back and forth with staying together or going separate ways. I think a lot of his absence on this album and other Bruthaz Grimm functions during this season was his wife's gut feeling that SOLEMN was cheating, or had cheated on her. If im completely honest, I felt like he was or had cheated on her also. We talked about it from time to time but he never really told me for a fact one way or the other. A lot was going on behind closed doors and nothing was as it seemed. It wouldn't be long before the truth would surface and all hell would break loose.
