This is a tricky question…it's easier to name people we respect artistically, but they don’t necessarily have an impact on our music…let’s see…The Cross Movement, Corey Red and Percise, John Legend, Lauyrn Hill, Stevie Wonder just to name a few…and as far as who influences our music…I mean Jesus is really the only influence we need (and that is real)
Raiderz of the Lost is an alliance of Christian M.C.s whose sole desire is to deliver the Gospel of Jesus Christ through hip-hop in its purest form. This Virginia Beach based groups mission is to penetrate the hearts of mankind all over the globe.
The Raiderz were formed in the summer of 1997. The founders, Aaron Warner (a.k.a. Messenger 777 formally with the Raiderz), Sirrico Whitfield (a.k.a. Dialect) and Trabelus Whitfield (a.k.a. Dr. Madd Lines) have been making music for the Lord ever since. Their debut album entitled, "Prepare 4 tha Spillage", contains creative lyricism partnered with head-bobbin infectious beats released on CMN Records.
Both members of the Raiderz(actual brothers) are born-again believers in Jesus Christ. They understand the importance of daily devotionals and quiet time with the Lord. God commanded believers to Go and make disciples of all Mankind, and with that He has equipped His farmers with different tools for the harvest. Rap is the tool the Raiderz have been called to use for the harvest. They desire to continue to be used to draw people to Christ, bring forth conviction and revolutionize the declining morals of the hip-hop industry.
The Raiderz wish to continue to minister in churches, schools, correctional facilities, housing developments, coffee houses and any other opportunities that come up in order to share their passion. They have ministered at Creation Festival with Five Iron Frenzy, Salem Coffee House (NY) Rap Fest 99(MD), Code of Honor Concert (NJ), Drexel University (PI), Kingdom Bound (Darrien Lake Buffalo at Six Flags), Assembly of God Youth Convention (Woodbridge, Va), Jamaican Festival, Gospel Jammz, Many Colors One Blood concert, Love Feast 98, Sidewalk Celebration concert series, Positve Sounds Music Festival (05'), and many other venues spanning the east coast.
After the release of their debut album Prepare for the Spillage in 1998, they have endured many trials. Among those trials, was the folding of their record label, many producers and managers going separate ways, and, more seriously, two battles with cancer. Although the cancer attacked Dialects body, the whole ministry felt the affects. To the natural eye it may have seemed like the ministry had stopped, but it was only the beginning of greater things to come. Now healed and once again in the lab, Trabelus Whitfied (a.k.a. Madd Lines) and Sirrico Whitfield (a.k.a Dialect) have been blessed with the opportunity to pick up where they left off. With renewed fire and passion, the Raiderz are back! We know that the work the Lord has begun; He is faithful to complete it. That time has come

There is a free list of nearly 100 radio stations and networks that WILL PLAY CHRISTIAN RAP from Independent Artists. I have personally contacted the stations, spoken with Management at the stations and gathered all the info myself. I’ve been working on this for the past year and only initiated contact last week, so all contacts are FRESH. I am giving this list away for FREE, along with links to resources for HHH artists at WWW.NSINATION.NING.COM
Simply sign up there (For Free) and go to the “Musician’s Circle” Group. I will also be updating the list there as more radio stations get back to me. (I already have several more I need to add. )
I also have a list of stations not mentioned on the list of about 30 more stations who want music submitted by Mp3. You have to contact me at my NSI Nation profile with proof of HHH ministry intent. (I have to protect that list from potential spammers.) Again, I’ll send it to you for free.
I’m not seeking to get paid. All that I ask is that you share this message with every Christian Rapper you know. Please pass this message around. The reason is because the more HHH Ministers with this information, the more music can go out and potentially be played and the more souls can be reached with the Gospel. I’d also like to spread the word about the NSI Nation, as well. It’s an entertainment center for Christians that’s a great place to share your ministry. It has all sorts of free features for everyone.
