Music For Messiah! No apologies about it...

About Me

Founded in 1997, Hazakim (Hebrew for "strong ones") consists of emcees/producers, Michael and Anthony, who also happen to be blood brothers. Due to an upbringing in the Messianic Jewish movement, as well as multi-cultural roots that include Jewish ancestry, their sound possesses a trademark Hebrew influence which sets them apart from other hip-hop artists. By applying as their motto the charge of Rav Sha'ul (Paul) in II Timothy 4:2, "preach the Word, be urgent in season and out of season; convince, rebuke, and exhort - be unfailing in patience and in teaching", using the medium of hip-hop culture and through the scriptures they strive to bring the Good News of Yeshua, uncut and raw!
Be sure to stop the music player before watching videos
Check out our video for "Crucifixion Description"...
"Crucifixion Description: This song by Michael of Hazakim was put to visuals from the "Passion" movie by Spec of Flavor Alliance and made for an awe inspiring, reflective piece which demonstrates the awesome love and mercy of the Messiah, blessed be He. Even when we were still in rebellion towards the Lord, He died for us! Special shouts to Spec for the awesome job. This video has touched thousands of people over the past year as we have personally recieved e-mails informing us of individual decisons made to follow the Lord.
Check out our "Theophanies Animation"....
Yeshua said it best...."Before Abraham was, I AM."(John 8:58) So, throughout the Old Testament Scriptures, who was the messenger of God that bore the very Name and authority of God? See this video to find out.
