| Releases: | [Free : The Liberation Project] [No Better Life] | | Info: | This four man crew The Cruzaiders are:
- Judah (MC)
- Vizion (MC)
- Wizdom (MC/producer)
- Essential - formerly known as Zion (MC)
Their goal is to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their
local urban community areas, the United States and abroad
through the medium of music and various forms of evangelism.
In addition to maintaining a commitment to their local
church youth ministries.
Ministering
The Cruzaiders have ministered at various youth events,
evangelistic outreaches, conferences etc. They have opened
in concert for other holy hip hop ministries and artists
such as The Cross Movement, Da TRUTH of Cross Movement
Records, iROCC, even for rock bands like, Big Daddy Weave,
Overflow and New Song.
Influence
The Cruzaiders cite the artists of the Cross Movement as
having the most influence on the birth of their music.
After witnessing a video from the Movement's House of Reps
album, and hearing more of the music produced by the label,
the Cruzaiders were inspired to spark their own movement and
spread the Gospel message through hip hop operating in the
Cross Movement tradition by placing emphasis on the need to
reach hip hop culture.
Brothers
Since 2000, the Cruzaiders have seen an ever growing need
for the work that God has placed before them in their
portion of the vineyard in this season of their lives. The
group consists of two sets of brothers hailing from Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina: The brothers Shannon and Gaillard.
Brian Shannon: Essential
The oldest member of the group, Essential - formerly known
as Zion, works as a servant-leader in youth ministry in his
local church, a school teacher and teen counselor. He has a
heart to see youth saved and soled out to Christ, developing
as true kingdom citizens. Essential made a personal
commitment to Christ in 1995. Having been previously
influenced by hip-hop culture growing up in the urban area
of bed-stuy Brooklyn and eventually the project areas of
Myrtle Beach. He became an aspiring solo artist in 1998.
Ever since his change-over, which he credits his mother for
having the greatest spiritual influence over, he has been
representing the Lord Jesus Christ and his people with a
desire to be a temple where God dwells.
Todd Shannon: Wizdom
Along with his older brother Zion, Wizdom works and serves
as a counselor, mentor and teacher to the youth of his local
church and community. As the original creator of most of the
cruz-aiders music, Wizdom’s focus is to bring the wisdom of
God to this generation as a solo artist and beat composer
through his music.
Riqui Gaillard: Judah
Judah is a fervent warrior for the lord, with his name being
based on the Biblical tribe of praise. He has been serving
the lord since his high school years, eventually serving as
a peer chaplain to the athletic department of his
university. Judah’s desire, through his artistry, is to “let
him be praised” Who? Christ!
Dell Gaillard: Vizion
As the youngest member of the group, Vizion brings energy
and youthful vigor as an artist. Like his older brother
Judah, he is a fervent, multi-talented, warrior of praise to
the most high with a desire to see life through the eyes of
God, because without a vision the people perish.
