LYRICS
(Verse One - Rayce) http://RayceTV.com / http://instagram.com/Rayceism

I am a sinner, the same as the ones before me or after. The laughter is all that keeps me coming. A savage animal in the image of so many just like'em. I write for the eulogies to come. Unfortunately, not that far between as I sit there parallel to a cemetary; 1am on a Sunday but 7 days a week, just a few feet from me, lies a good friend buried. So speak of unity but only if you walk the talk. I know God: faith, prayer and meditation. I love my mother, father, brothers and you; whether or not we share a common destination...

(Verse Two - AJ Briones) http://instagram.com/abrilliantsoul

Dead, just a vessel operated by the most high. Relinquishing my existence, obedience of the qualified. I becomes He, now He motivates I. Sacrifice forgiven oftentimes becomes a wonder why. I ain't the best person, I know I'm undeserving, I ain't fit or equipped to do the Lord's working. I'm just a jerk with a smirk, more concerned about making money; starving for riches associated with the hustlin'. Feed my addictions: more concerned about my sneakers, wanting praise for my work when it's knocking out the speakers, lukewarm trial hypocrite to the core soul. Exercised my body, putting weight up on my torso. I couldn't carry so I prayed for some assistance; landed on my knee, looked up to see the risen. Abba, Our Father, the Most High God, so I bow out graciously. The world calls it odd; no facade.

(Verse Three - Flash) http://instagram.com/FlashTheOnly

Osha would be proud, team lifting the sound. Hands on the plow, feet planted in the ground. I found the bar is set higher than my reach, that's why I walk in the light and don't preach. That's why I roll with my team in the streets. That's why we don't judge the outside, we outreach. On repeat, the motto: each one, reach one. Lack of heroes nowadays, and this generation needs some. Walk a fine line between favor and embarrassment. Cherishing the truth and the grace that's embedded in. Leveling the field through the faith I'm invested in. The cross is much lighter when the whole crew's carrying.

(Verse Four - Edukated) http://instagram.com/Edukated

Where's the unity, in this community? What's your view? What's your opinion? Does it matter? Or does it not? (probably not) It's more than a belief that I speak with intellectual speech, plus profess what I teach. Solid as a man with a divine plan, holding God's hand so tight cause no man is superman to me. Trust in a higher fortress. This genuine metamorphosis shows life is blessed when you intertwined wit the power no flesh can deny. So then unity is void when it's not making valid points, or making noise, in the inner cities across the nation!

Comm x Unity (cypher)

Originally founded in the late 90's, Hardstep Records primarily made and distributed Electronic Dance Music. Based in Oxnard,California Hardstep produced records which gained popularity world wide. In 2006 the founder of Hardstep Vince Serrano, gave his life to the Lord. Soon after, with a vision to use Hardstep as a platform to glorify the Lord and produce inspirational uplifting music, Hardstep Records was back. In 2010 Hardstep released the mix tape "Change Your Life Music". 

With a new focus on hip hop Change Your Life Music received national acclaim by bringing together hip hop artists LightningCloud, Bizzle, and more. In 2011 Hardstep released The Rein4cements mix tape "Illuminated". This highly anticipated mixtape featured crowd favorite tracks such as Grace and Mercy and Supernatural ft. Priceless. In 2012 Hardstep released "Out of Darkness". 

The long awaited Priceless mix tape proved that Hardstep could expand its reach to more than just hip hop but could reach the r&b market as well. In 2013 Hardstep released the Leonti produced album "The Redemption Project". This dance hip hop hybrid, brings an original twist to the sound Hardstep started with. Featuring Hardstep artists The Rein4cements,SISY,Priceless and Olivia Rockell along with Red Cloud, Jordan Lara, Revolutionary, and Bree Kay The Redemption Project is sure to set bars in Christian Music. 

In just a short time Hardstep Records has established itself as a label to look out for. Now redeemed for the Glory of the Lord, listeners can be sure that every Hardstep project will Go Hard or Go Home!
