MERCY AND GRACE:
What up? This is MAG, Mercy and Grace which isn't an oxymoron, just straight to the point. I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Queen City Representin') Iv'e been doing music since the eighth grade. Once I met my boy Obese, we became 100% and started the B.O.S.S. movement. Contrary to popular beliefs, we DO HIP-HOP. Just hip hop, nothing added or taken away, just hip hop. I have a passion for my music and can't see myself doing anything other than what I'm doing right now, and that's ministering through the most popular influence to society. His only advice to who ever is reading this is, "Just really follow your dreams and keep God first, I know it sounds corney, but as Christians we are the head and NOT the tail."THE SPIRIT:
What's going on? I go by the name of THE SPIRIT. Most may know me by R-1 which is my production name. Born and raised in Cleveland Ohio. I became addicted to engineering, music production and writing when I was about 12. I always been musically inclined but it was when I was 12 when I visited my biological dad in Charlotte N.C. and I very covertly took his key to the studio every morning to find out more about it. When I graduated high school, that same year I went to Full Sail, a college in Florida and studied music engineering. From there I eventually moved back to Charlotte but only to find out God had a purpose for me. This is when I met 100 Percent. As the third and final member of 100 Percent, I have one goal and that's to be a living testemony to those who don't know Christ so that it may encourage them to do so. By the will of God OBESE, MAG, and I share that uncommon view and as a gift from God we are using Hip-Hop as a vehicle to win souls for CHRIST. Thanks to God's Grace we will with haste press towards being Fishers of Men and Trailblazers for the next generation.OBESE:
What it do? It's ya boy! Hank Obese McKoy, truly an oxymoron to his title, Obese is a native of Brooklyn, New York. Raised in Maplewood, New Jersey he moved to Charlotte, North Carolina at the age of 15. It was in North Carolina where he finally decided to live a righteous life. (Big up to Jesus!) He fell in love with music when he was a kid. He use to go to the studio with his brother when he lived in New Jersey. He began to play around with writing lyrics and pretending to have his own radio show using his beat box. Once he moved to Charlotte, he wanted to take rappin' more seriously. Shortly after he met his boy MAG, and they started 100%. Now, they have started an alliance, along with other friends, to get the attention of today's youth by using more than JUST MUSIC. Which is what they call the B.O.S.S. movement, Believers Of the Same Salvation.
