This J.Kwest record, “Livstrong ft. J. Ivy,” is about those nights we all know - when we feel ourselves a little too much and go too far. The Vice Life of sex, drugs, and all that is covered like you hear in other songs, but Kwest is witty, lyrical. and honest in talking temptation.

The concept of "Skittles & Iced Tea" originated with the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case.  Especially the title of the song because that's what Trayvon Martin went to the store to purchase but ended up being murdered.  Though the concept originates with this case there have been hundreds more to follow.  The chorus of the song  starts out "All I wanted was some Skittles and a Iced Tea", an idea that can be metaphorically used for our simple human rights.  

"Skittles & Iced Tea" represents

B-Fade releases the second music video from his forthcoming album All Things Are Possible.

The concept for "Like Him" came from a weekly conference/accountability call conducted by Pray Area Records. We were diving into what it really means to be "Christ-like." It's important to bring the focus back to what it really means to be a Christian and resist what society and the media tend to focus on.  Our goal is for this song to be used as an outreach tool to show those who have never heard the g
