Intro

TH3RDCLASS is a Houston, Texas based live hip hop band that blends Gospel-centric lyrical theology with jazz, trip hop, electro and rock, while staying true to 3 of the 4 core elements of hip hop culture - rap, turntablism and graffiti art. The culturally diverse band have members from Britain (from Caribbean descent), Dominican Republic and America (from Mexican descent).

I read some time ago of a man who took passage in a stage coach. There were first, second and third-class passengers. But when he looked into the coach, he saw all the passengers sitting together without distinction. He could not understand it till by-and-by they came to a hill, and the coach stopped, and the driver called out, “First-class passengers keep their seats, second-class passengers get out and walk, third class passengers get behind and push.” Now in the Church we have no room for first-class passengers—people who think that salvation means an easy ride all the way to heaven. We have no room for second class passengers—people who are carried most of the time, and who, when they must work out their own salvation, go trudging on never giving a thought to helping their fellows along. All church members ought to be third class passengers—ready to dismount and push all together, and push with a will. That was John Wesley’s definition of a church—“All at it, and always at it.” Every Christian ought to be a worker. He need not be a preacher, he need not be an evangelist, to be useful. 
-D. L. MOODY

Meaningful hip hop music crafted with sincerity, soul and authenticity…is one way you could describe the kind of hip hop music that Truth & TeK write and record.

Hailing from Reading Berkshire, ArkiteK & Truth B Told are two UK Hip Hop Artists and "brothers in Christ" who share a mutual love and passion for Hip Hop.

These two Independent rappers/producers first crossed paths in 2005 and quickly became close friends. After a series of collaboration efforts they decided to come together to create an original concept album entitled…The World Vs Your Soul.

"The concept of the album is based on our own personal experiences but deals with a central theme related to overcoming personal demons and obstacles in life on the pursuit to finding inner peace and fulfillment" - ArkiteK

The album has taken several years to complete, in which time both ArkiteK and Truth B Told have experienced their own share of ups and downs…

"It's a very honest and personal album but has songs which I think a lot people will be able to relate to because it expresses all types of feelings and emotions, highs and lows but ultimately it's about finding eternal hope in our everyday struggles" - ArkiteK

While you can find both Truth B Told and ArkiteK rapping on the album, Truth has taken the role of producing the beats, while TeK has recorded, mixed and mastered the album. However this album has not been just a two man collaborative effort as it also features some amazing vocals from Reading's most talented music artists including: ONE, Kay Lo-Rayne, Silqe, Shi-Loh, Godz Gift, Mariatu and the late Lesley Thompson (R.I.P).

So if you're looking for a bit more soul and authenticity in your hip hop then be sure to check out ArkiteK & Truth B Told's new album:
