The group was founded
by Mr. Solo, a former gang member, when he turned his life over
to Jesus after almost dying from gunshot wounds. He credits
his mother to planting the early seeds of God in his life as
she would always pray for him. Mr. Solo grew up in South Central
Los Angeles with Chille' Baby, who started going to church with
Mr. Solo and evantually came to know Christ also. Mr. Solo and
Chille' Baby met the third member of their group at church when
Tik Tokk also made the decision to follow Christ. The union
of the three was quite miraculous as Mr. Solo and Chille' Baby
were both former Crips while Tik Tokk was a Blood, (the two
gangs are intense rivals).
The GOSPEL GANGSTAZ are role models. "we don't consider
ourselves above anybody. But God has given us insight to see
the truth. We understand their pain, and they know we know the
real. I gotta make music for my homies. I believe in bringing
the church to people, not just bringing people to church",
Tik Tokk stated.
"The GOSPEL GANGSTAZ stand in a position to help, because
we have seen how the gospel of Christ is real. Our lives were
changed from selling crack, drive-by shootings, car-jacking
and illicit sex, to a life of peace, joy and happiness because
of Christ. We want to go back to the hood and let our light
shine", says Solo.
"We are real
G'z with our own war stories and our own battle marks. We survived
and now we must fight for our brothers and sisters that are
trapped in a world of violence and poverty, adds Chille'.
