"Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ"
I Peter 1:13
Noneuclidean has been playing music for 10 years, starting with the guitar at age 15. For several years he played in the indie rock band called the "Hong Kong Kavaliers." After unsuccessfully trying to forge new ground in Rock, the band changed their name, and their approach. Shroudur, whose instrumental E.P. "Beats to Sleep By" is considered the best work of the band, lasted for only a year or two. At that point the band morphed yet again into "The Sandpeople", a hip-hop collaboration with sPeak and Ofcelfe from L.F.T.B. (which they had joined back in the Shroudur days). No official release ever came from "The Sandpeople", although they did record some songs, one of which did make it on a L.F.T.B. compilation. During this time, Noneuclidean released a solo album. After the Sandpeople fell apart, Noneuclidean stopped making music, save for a few beats, and focused on school. In 2004, Noneuclidean and Offbeat discussed the fact that there was little good Christian Hip-Hop to listen to. Knowing that they would probably only make more wack Christian music but desiring to do something about the problem, they decided to make a song together and see how it sounded. As it turned out, they liked how they worked together and thus decided to work on a project.

And his solo and worship music project here .
Offbeat has been writing rap lyrics for about 9 years and is just starting to sound tolerable. He took an interest in making beats about 6 years ago & that ability of his, as well, is still under construction. Offbeat met Noneuclidean through L.ife F.or T.he B.etter but really started to connect and do music with him through a small bible study group they both began attending. They are both works in progress spiritually & this will show in their music, but this project is where they are presently & they hope God might somehow use it in the lives of its hearers.
