Corey Paul Davis is a Houston native through and through. Raised in South Park—a neighborhood where more than 40% of the residents are high school dropouts—the story unfolding in those streets gives him a lot to rap about. 

Growing up, Corey met his biological father only a few times, ever. It was his strong mother and his stepfather, who became a crack cocaine addict that raised him. When he was sober, things were great; but when he needed that high, or worse, actually got high; he was abusive in all respects, physically, verbally, and mentally. Corey remembers vividly the abuse he and his mother had to suffer. He was only six when his stepfather burned his mother with an iron and oftentimes left her black-eyed. Two abusive years later, his mother had enough, stood her ground and shot him in the leg. Corey watched his stepfather bleed out on the floor right in front of him. The next year Corey’s stepfather took his life and hung himself in the attic. Corey was nine years old when that happened, so he was desensitized to violence and abuse at a very young age. 

Desperately searching for something to believe in, something to hope in, he embraced Houston's drug culture, street life and “chopped and screwed” music scene. He spent several years in the game trying to fill voids in his life from childhood, but no dice.  As the story often goes, a close friend changed his life forever by simply inviting him to church. Neither of them knew it at the time, but that encounter with the Lord Jesus changed everything. Corey found a hope he’d never before seen for himself, his family or his neighborhood. From then, he used the same music he’d fallen in love with and this new found hope in Jesus to start “Frontline Movement.” 

Corey Paul has already drawn appeal, being given the privilege to perform at Austin’s world-renowned SXSW music festival, alongside collaborating with noted artists, This’l and now label mates, Dre Murray and Alex Faith. 

Corey independently released his debut album, “Grace Love Mercy” back in the summer of 2013, which debuted #39 on the Gospel Billboard Charts.  Married to his wife Summer, a serving member at his church—Resurrection Houston—and now the newest member on Collision Records, the future for this “South Park” survivor has only just begun. 


War with the devil, Spar with science, & submit to God.

Take pain, passion, and courage, mix that with knowledge, faith, consciousness and love, and then top it off with organic creativity, lyricism, and wit...and you'll get AJ McQueen. AJ McQueen was born and raised in the rough streets of west side St.Louis, Missouri, "Wellston" to be exact. At the age of 13 AJ became active in the neighborhood gang and at the age of 15 he was shot and nearly lost his life. However, with the prayers of friends, family, and loved ones AJ survived to live another day. After relinquishing ties to gang activity where his involvement almost claimed his life AJ was sent away to live with a friend of the family in Houston, Texas to help curve his behavior and to save his life.

AJ started rapping at the young age of 11 where he would grow to be known around the neighborhood and school hallways as one of the best freestylers and battle rappers on the Westside and Northside of St.Louis. However, when he was sent to Houston his writing and lyrics became something more "meaningful". He recorded his first song on a tape recorder and he let the man of the house hear the song, and after listening he said, "AJ you have great potential." That day AJ's life changed forever. After working 2 jobs at the age of 16 AJ purchased his own studio equipment and he began recording more music. He started performing at talent shows and events around the Southside of Houston, "Alief" to be exact. AJ recorded his first full length mixtape and passed it out around his high school campus, and It was at that time that he earned the respect of his peers. At 17 AJ joined a group called S.T.C. and performed all over the country spreading a message of positivity and faith. After a successful career with the group, AJ went solo. At 19 AJ was featured on B.E.T.’s hit show 106 & Park, where they gave him the title of "Youth Activist", and it was at that moment that he knew he had a God given gift and responsibility that was bigger than anything that he ever imagined. With this inner knowing he decided to put his past, pain, knowledge, experiences, and devotion all into his writing and music.
