Gang Affiliated

Gang Affiliated is the debut album released by Gospel Gangstaz. It was released on October 28, 1994, for MYX Records and featured production from DJ Dove and Mr. Solo. The album is widely considered as the first harder-edged Christian rap album as the sound and lyrics had a gritty element to them that was virtually unseen in the genre at the time as this album sounded much like the popular West Coast Gangsta G-funk music of the mid-1990s. Gang Affiliated managed to make it to 19 on the Top Christian Albums Billboard chart, however the three singles, "Mobbin' (Gang Affiliated)", "Testimony" and "Y Cain't da Homiez Hear Me?" did not make it to any billboard charts.
