Musically diverse, lyrically relevant, culturally engaged - Manwell, Blanca and Pablo 'bring it' with their Fervent records debut. One God, one mission and one dream unite the eclectic trio and are the motivation for this crew to move out of their hometown of Orlando and into public school systems, churches, street corners and stages.
Founded in a rather unlikely way, the group got its start when Manwell, a former solo artist and veteran emcee started a bible study with his friends and fellow musicians Pablo and Blanca. Their colorful and life-changing testimonies not only drove them closer to each other and to music, but it gave them a unique platform and testimony to reach hundreds of thousands of high school and middle school students, school boards, and faculties across the country. Equipped with contagious personalities, determination and a fervent desire for a deepening relationship with God, Group 1 Crew has a message to share and to spread. One dream. One chance. One crew.

I love em| Posted July 18, 2007
I just learned about group 1 crew a few weeks ago, when I seen one of there videos on the gospel music channel, and as soon as I seen the video I fell in love with them, and got there CD off itunes, there awsome there fun cool, and got great voices, and talent, the words to there music are awsome, I dont know about you all, but when I buy a CD it cant just be because I like the way it sounds, I gotta fall inlove with the words to the songs too, words are a very powerful thing. So if the artist or group come out with a CD that sounds good but yet no meaning to there music than it aint for me, and thats what I like about this CD because the music is fresh, fun, and hip, but yet it teaches you something, and builds your spirit up, with what there saying in there songs, so I give group 1 crew 2 thumbs up, if I had more thumbs id give them more lol.

If you like hip hop and stuff like that, you will probably dig Group 1 Crew, otherwise, you won't like them or this CD.
Funky Fun| Posted July 04, 2007
I really enjoy some of the songs from this album. My personal favorite is Can't Go On. The second I heard it I was hooked. It is fun and funky and I can't help but want to dance to it. The music/sound is refreshing and not redundant like some of the music out there getting Christian radio airplay.
I got kicked out of Middle School and barely made it through High School| Posted July 03, 2007
Manuel has a testimony of change that is strong. I love this quote, "I got kicked out of Middle School and barely made it through High School." With his partners Pablo and Blanca, Group 1 Crew has put together a solid CD of Hip Hop groves, uplifting melody lines, and hard hitting lyrics. They spit it so strong. You've gotta check it out.
