In 1914 the advertisement below appeared in The London Times:

8466458258?profile=original“Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger. Safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success.” (signed) Shackleton

Can you imagine anyone answering an ad like this? Well, thousands of men from all over the world did. From among them, world famous explorer Ernest Shackleton chose 27 to sail with him to Antarctica on a ship he named Endurance. In the nearly two years they traveled across Antarctica, Shackleton and his men battled the elements and endured hardships in an adventure that defies description. These men chose not to play safe.

 

Jesus invites us into the hazardous rescue mission to Planet Earth. In John 6 when he laid out the cost of signing up for life’s greatest adventure, most of those who claimed to be his followers turned back. And many still do today. But there’s that handful who stick it out and say like Peter -- Lord, you're the only one who has anything lasting, anything that really matters. You offer life and we want to be fully alive.
Men, it is those few who look at the hardships, count the cost and still sign on for the expedition and who will, like Peter and the other first disciples turn the world upside down. Jesus calls us into his great mission and his great adventure to proclaim and glories of His gospel and to make disciples among all men. Like Ernest Shackleton sending out his ad, Jesus talks straight about the "hazards and honor" for those who will risk it all for Him. Wherever you might be in your journey, remember - the easy road, the popular road never leads to anything that really matters. In fact, Jesus said it leads to destruction. So if you want to be fully alive, set sail with the real “Master and Commander” and make a difference that counts forever. 

Terry Virgo, Founder of Newfrontiers, writes, "Grace should never lead to passivity, but to outrageous adventure, a lifestyle that baffles those who play safe. It threatens the status quo not only of tentative religion but also of cynical unbelief." The truth is God's grace sets God's men free to risk it all for what is eternally significant -- freedom in Christ!

God's Plan is Much Bigger Than Your Own.

greetings folks,

 

If you have visited my page you have seen that I recently started an Artist Developement and Management Situation.I love the arts trust and believe its a part of who I am. When I let a host of folks know exactly what I was planning on doing I got the imaginary question mark above the head and if they were french I would have gotten an enthusiastic Pourquoi?  "You are an artist " this is what I heard from numerous folks from DC to MD to NY to ATL. Babe what are you doing this for?  Well I am going to tell you why. I have been around the block in the secular realm as it relates to art, music, poetry etc... for years. What I noticed is that as an artist you meet alot of like minded individuals who seem to have the exact same complaint. Their management is not working for them. Its a role reversal if you will but the management still expects to get paid.  The knowledge that I have gained over the years has always been a conversation piece with artist as well as small business owners just getting started. When they reveal their mission and goal I reveal my knowledge and I immediately go into action, seeing what needs to be done and meeting the need. So ironically due this I began to offer some of my family members some guidance in their businesses. My aim was artist but I then realized that business is an art. The lord showed me that you can help more than just what is considered a typical artist. God sent me 2 start-ups a Caterer and an Event planning  situation and I am now officially representing them as well as Gospel artist Deja and Photographer and poet JonVee . I am blessed and humbled by the lord because my vision was too small and he expanded it without one hiccup. As for me and my art. I am still doing music just looking for the right producers but in the interim why sit idle. If I can help somebody why not ! God allows you to experience certain things in your life so that you can use what was learned to bless another soul. I am humbled by the realization. I am honored by the trust and faith that these folks  have put in my skill level.  So yeah I am an artist but I am first a servant of the most high and I will be obedient to his will. Understanding can wait Obedience is a must !

Big Fan Base Magazine supports Twice the Hype’s Music
MUSIC: Twice the Hype

8466457689?profile=original
Twice the Hype has a Bigfanbase! Check out more about the twin brothers.

BFB: Your twins! How did the group come about what made you guys share the same passion?

TTH: My Identical Twin brother & I started rapping, playing instruments and performing at the age of eight years old. From that point on we started composing beats, writing songs and performing in front of friends, family or wherever we could get a crowd to watch us two perform. Our passion and motivation comes from our fans when we perform on stage. I guess you can say we enjoy the spot light, absolutely love the attention while performing and giving our fans a memorable experience.


BFB: Describe your style?

TTH: We are old school hip hop rappers with a unique sound that makes us different and recognizable when you hear our music. You could say we rap in an urban old school style Hip Hop/ Rap giving you a Miami sound with a New York hip hop edge.

BFB: Where did your names come from, do they reflex your personality?

TTH: Our stage Name definitely represents our personality. Rob (T-Hype) I was labeled this because of my unique hyper style getting the crowd pumped up while performing on stage. Ralph called (Kid Cool) I inherit my name because of my cool presence on stage and the words I spit while performing makes everybody thirst for more.

BFB: Your latest CD is “On the Right Track,” how did title come about?

TTH: This title defines our direction and style “Clean Hip-Hop Music” that all ages can enjoy.

BFB: Flowing with the jam is a nice song great production and a feel good quality, tell me about the concept?

TTH: This melody was created to allow our fans to lay back, relax while Flowin with a soothing Jam that makes you want to chill while we rap in an old school hip hop style. Part of the concept of this particular track, it has a touch of a GO-GO back round sound that is part of our Washington, D.C. musical roots.


BFB: Your twin brothers that work alongside one another, how is the recording process, is there any sibling rivalry?!!

TTH: Although we are best friends, we both will admit there is an occasional desire to compete in good fun in all aspects of our music. We have a close bond as brothers that are completely unbreakable. But at the end of the day we both know we’ve been successful because of each other’s individual talent and without each other’s support we couldn’t do this.


BFB: Whats should people take away from your music?

TTH: We feel lyrics are the backbone to a success to a song in order to reach our fans. If our lyrics do not have a story with a meaning people will not relate to our song or music. Twice the Hype writes songs so people can say “Hey I can feel what they are saying or I have been through that”
