专辑简介

2by2 is an anointed gospel rap group whose sound is described as a “rhapsodic sermon articulated over nice beats.” 2by2 consist of two talented artists, Kendrick “Knowledge” Williams and Shayee “Shay” Wingate; both of Beaumont, Texas. Hailing from a small city, 2by2 uses allegory with lyrics such as “I bring you Good News from a very far country” to contextualize the call of the Great Commission to the world. Their local church and ministry have equipped them with the skills to further their blessed calling. 2by2 have been together since 2004. The history behind the group’s name was inspired by Luke 10:1 where Jesus sent them two by two. Their journey testifies of “the Lord’s goodness through it all, and we just have to share it; but the challenge of doing what we do is to gain the hearts of the people to respect our craft, yet minister the Word of God.” “We have witnessed how God continued to use us, even when we’re unworthy,” says Knowledge of 2by2. 2by2 have endured many setbacks and tough lessons during their time together, but a new perspective brought growth and maturity. “Our ministry is about saving souls, not records sold,” says Shayee of 2by2. 2by2 wants to bless others with their music. “The humbling thing about our music is knowing that ministry is our number one goal.” “All the honor goes to Christ!” “Our music is graced by God to appeal to the masses,” says the group. With this knowledge and understanding, the duo continues to focus their hearts on the mission.

The future for 2by2 is filled with hope. 2by2’s music is an organic portrayal of God’s providence in relation to the lives of His people. The positive feedback they’ve received from those who enjoy their music is humbling. “Music comes from the heart, and what is in the heart comes forth. We can’t make the mistake of our music being dictated by the demands of the music industry, nor by the ever changing, pop culture of our society,” says Knowledge. 2by2’s music is to influence many to give their lives to Christ, and also edify those who already have.
