NEWHEADS - CHECK IN! (yes, here!)

[BlackCalvinist]

Greetings in Christ fam!

On behalf of all the mods and the other admins, Welcome to HCR's message board!

Here at HCR, we're tryin' to build up a community, not just another message board with people from wherever throwin' electrons and bible verses back and forth at each other with the submit button.

Tell us a bit about yourself, age, what church you fellowship at and anything else you'd like to share (including how you found us).

May your time on HCR be good time and may the conversations here stimulate your thinking and challenge you to grow in your walk with Christ.

Grace and Peace,
BC

I suppose I'll be the first to respond and break the ice...

I'm not "new", but as you might have noticed by my post count, I don't post often. Aside from one, I haven't met anybody from here in person. So here it goes!

I'm 25 (born in 81) and fellowship at a congregation called The Book of Acts Church International in Minneapolis. Within the Church I teach the Bible to teenagers, as well as work with the audio and video.

I found out about HCR when somebody posted a link on the Lampmode message board to the Common Denominator Show. I lurked around the boards for about a month when I saw Todd Bangz hosting a beat battle. That's when I joined the forums.

Aside from Church, I have worked at a medical clinic since October of 2001. I have been making beats since about '97. How's that fer an introduction?

I almost forgot to say my name. You can call me Eric.

Peace

[Crossover]

I'm 17 and I live in (well, around) Memphis, Tennessee. I go to Central Church, though I'm still new there. I found this board cause I talked to 1-Lyfe on the ReachRecords boards, so I just signed up like 2 days ago on this one. You can call me NAte, Natha, Crossover, that really cool dude who is so smart (my personal favorite), or whatever.

[Cowboy]

I'm kinda new. I'm 26, and I go by Cowboy because someone gave me that nickname about 7 or 8 years ago. Been around this movement for a long time and know some of you from other places(Sphere, HHZ, Godzhouse, Syntax, etc). I live in Oklahoma and I go to Rhema Bible Church. Some people on here like me, some don't. But it's alright. I got love for everyone, even if we disagree.

[EBro]

What's up Fam? I'm 28 years old and attend Antioch Baptist in Oviedo, Fla. I don't remember how I found HCR, but I'm glad I did. I hope to gain some insight in here and get to know some good people

[Kerry1914]

Welcome to all the good new folk here (EBro, Crossover. Cowboy!).

It'd be nice if the rest of the fam popped in and welcome you as well.

[newchild116]

hey guys i'm 17 from southern california. Name is Duma (do-ma). I was here because of thi'sl web link i believe. I attend mandarin baptist church of Pasadena (a chinese church). Hoping to become a producer one day LOL get at me Brinson.

[David L]

gidday mates!! (sorry, we had an aussie band visit and i feel like a crocodile hunna tiday mate)


Mi nombre es David, and yes, I am not an Aussie. I am 28 and attend Calvary Chapel Central Santa Ana. My brother sent me a link to a thread on this board about eschatology since he knows I am an eschatology weirdo.

I work at UCI Medical Center in Orange, CA as a pbx operator.

I handle the sound and audio in our congregation which is nice since I have a backround in audio as a dj since '97. I have worked as a producer, engineer, mc, etc. in the past but have put that on the altar for now. I can't do nothing at this time but can see the potential for the future. HCR gives me some hope that there are other people like myself who are not feeling 'the other stuff' as someone put it in another thread.

In the secular world I was more of an 'underground head' or supported 'indi artists' if that means anything to anyone. I am pretty much anti-mainstream or anti-commercial when it comes to hip hop. I wasn't feeling it in the world and don't feel it in the body either.

I honestly would just like to get my hands on some instrumentals and go back to doing what I do best, mixing it up, but it's not like that at all. It's not like I can walk up into Amoeba and pick up a set of dub's for CM or Corey Red on vynil or anything like that. So I chucked the mixing up on the altar for a minute.. there's ways around it but I'm set in my ways for now. There's nothing like good 'ole fashion trick mixing with dub's and instrumentals which is no longer an option (as far as I know) for someone like myself so I quit for now.. but me thinks I may go out and investigate Serrato. =)

[Arizona Black]

What's good wit it, Fam. I'm Duane, but I go by the nickname Arizona Black. Not really sure why. No clever story behind it just sounded like a cool super hero name. I'm 30 and I reside in Tampa, Flawda.

I attend Crossover Community Church here in Tampa (where the honorable Pastor "Urban D" presides). I'm a lover of the artform of HHH and plan on doing my own production going into the end of this year and beyond.

Ummm...I like long walks and puppy dogs and cool glasses of Gatorade...

I guess you can check out the myspace is you'd like to know more immediately. myspace.com/arizonablack76

Thanks. Even if I don't agree with someone on something, I think we can all still love each other and respect one another. So, looking forward to building with y'all.

[lady_evenstar]

Woah.

This site is amaZing! I'm a 26 year old youth minister. I've been working with the youth almost 7 years now, but like most YM's who live in small towns, it's purely a volunteer job, full time, but I LOVE working with teens. I totally love this site and I'm pretty sure it will come in handy with the new year! Let's see, what else? I dance the hokie pokie and can make icecream. I'm also a kick the can champion. So watch out! =P

prayers to all of you guys and gals!
