Review:Een CD met een ruige East Coast. Barry G. was in de startfase lid van PID.

Review:Grapetree is een platenmaatschappij die vanuit een HipHop perspektief is begonnen. Ze brengen toffe stijlen die nog niet in Christelijke HipHop bestaan. Alleen het jammere is dat de productie slecht gedaan is. Je koopt een CD, maar je hebt het geluid van een overgenomen cassette. Op deze CD staan veel voorkomende beats en samples. Op zich wel goed, maar niet erg origineel. Gelukkig brengt Barry G. wel originele rhymes. Barry G. begon in '86 bij PID, maar was er mee gestopt toen PID meer ging entertainen in plaats van evangeliseren. Zijn teksten zijn sterk, de produktie wat minder, maar al met al toch een coole CD om te hebben.

Review:In the mid to late 70's, when hip-hop first sprang on the scene. coming up in rough Oak Cliff neighborhoods and West Dallas projects was hard, and Barry began growing up to be "nothin' but a hoodlum." In 1986, at the age of 16, Barry found a unique escape in hip-hop when he formed the rap group P.I.D. Barry's group recorded their first album, and were an overnight sensation. After three releases, over 150,000 album sales and worldwide tours, the group began to focus more on entertainment, Barry, being committed to youth ministry, decided to separate and become a youth pastor, where he would have direct influences on individual lives. While off the stage for four years, he was not off the scene! Barry developed even tighter production skills and kept a keen ear to the street. Now Barry G is back up in yo face representin' with "Rugged Witness."
