Tic Tock formerly of Gospel Gangstaz is locked up on a murder charge. The Gospel Gangstaz have been one of the founding fathers of the Christian Hip Hop Movement. We received an alert that he needs encouragement, you can write Tic Tock letters for encouragement at the address below.

Please write Tic Tock per Michelle.

Todd Jones
#1247630, EF 631782
Telfair State Prison
P.O. Box 549
Helena, GA 31037

From a press release in July 2006:

The Gospel Gangstaz have long been known for their ministry focused toward spreading the love of Christ to young men and women with violent pasts or drug problems. When asked about the announcement that Tik Tokk, a former member of the Gospel Gangstaz, had been arrested on July 6th for his alleged involvement in a Bibb County, GA shooting, Chille’ Baby said, “It was a major, major shock.”

Professionally, Mr. Solo and Chille’ Baby have not been associated with Tik Tokk since 2003. They gave him their blessing when he asked to leave the group over a year and a half ago. They have not recorded with him since then and Tik Tokk has not performed with the group for years. Mr. Solo explained that when he and Tik Tokk first met, he felt he was drawn to minister to Tik Tokk much in the same way that he wanted to minister to others with troubled and violent pasts. When asked about the future of the Gangstaz, Mr. Solo said, “We are moving on with our ministry with the vision God has given us. Even though Tik Tokk parted from the Gospel Gangstaz, our heart still goes out to him, as well as the families of the victims.”

THese beloved brothas need prayer like anyone. YHWH is drawing the line, will we serve JAH to be saved or are we serving because we are saved? Remember the Sabbath (saturday)the seal of G-d,Honor thy Father and thy Mother the promise of long days and life, the commandments written by the finger of G-d, 10 of them not 9. Exodus. The mark, Sun(day) worship written by the finger of man . Christ (Yash-u-a , Ye-shu-a ,Jesus)the way, the truth, and life said he came to fulfil law not destroy the law.Trust him, have faith he will guide you." For judgement must first begin in the house of G-D"(Bible). "Lord have mercy on don't knows and won't shows, but Just watch, pray, live holy "(GSP GNTSR lyrics). Judge not, lest ye be judged (again the WORD).If any lack wisdom let him ask of G-d who gives liberaly James 5:7 again here is wisdom let he who has wisdom count the number of the beast for it is the number of a man and his number is six-hundred three score and six. Rev 13.the little horn Dan.7(the vatican changed YHWHs holy day).In short we can't live victoriously if were' blind and half-steppin.ya dig.smilies/grin.gif
What Would Jesus Do?
written by NeverAsunder, September 23, 2009
You know....we as christians shouldn't look down on a person, unless we're going to lift that person up. What Would Jesus Do? Well, he definitely wouldn't look down on Todd, unless he's going to lift him up. Let's lift Todd up in prayer, as well as the victim and his family.
I leave with you Isaiah 55:7 & 8...7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him: and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
Sunmi, make sure you get in touch with Todd. He would love to hear from you.
May God Bless You All
You will never know
written by Sunmi, September 01, 2009
For those who have anything ill to say about Todd... I ask you not to judge him... I was there when he was SAVED... Todd, Charles, Shaft, Paul, and many others had a very huge impact on my life... He is a man of God... What some of you dont understand is people make mistakes and the enemy comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Spirits are real and they can use you and will use you.... in a split second you life can be changed if you are not covered. Now I dont know what happened but I do know Todd Jones. Yes he was a blood and yes he had many things to deal with an/ or overcome. But Todd is a good person with a good heart. You will never know what they have done for people. You see the bad and latch on to it, but what about the good they did. I was there when pastor charles and pastor carolyn harrell encourage and taught them... I was at the church on Friday nights with them... I was at Magic Mountain witnessing with them... he was on fire and it was real!!!! So whatever he did or didnt do. Please dont judge him... he is a man first and we all fall... some harder than others. Those who are annointed the most have the most to deal with. I am devasted to know this has happen and I will pray for him as you should... My heart goes out to the victim or victims in this. Todd is my brother and I will forever love him.

we cannot shouldnot blame someone as a man for something they did as a child i am not looking for sympathy for my comrads at arms but my people have the babyboy mentalliity maybe because gods people the straight bloodline from god devinci code was created to live out a promised long and nurishing life of and old age we've declined from living hundreds of years old to 10's 20's and 30 yearsof life or maybe because alot of are fathers werent there when we needed them to teach us to be men and fathers ourlselves a reacurring geniality curse that kept our elders from talking to our yoths because they were shell shocked from slavery segregation being called niggers we deserve something even though it was good start but do you think a black president now aFTER YALL F44ED UP EVERYTHING and nowits the last days is good enough f35k no. god bless tic toc all cxell doors will open theirs still black panthers unnacounted for.
Why Is this not sad...
written by SOMEONE IMPORTANT, August 06, 2009
smilies/sad.gifHe needs encouragement?? FOR WHAT!!! What about the young man he was flown to Riverside California to testify against in 2006 while he was in custody for the murder he is now serving his life sentence for. Thought he would get a deal…ha! Riverside county neverrr..Tavares Scott ( non documented Crip from C-9000 an Ontario street gang in the Inland Empire) with 11 documented gang members) was sentenced to life because of TIK TOK’s (also a known gang member from (Bounty Hunters Blood Gang know in several parts of Los County ) verdict. Sentenced to life because of his testimony that was untrue ( I was there) …he needs encouragement because a true fact that they only used Todd Jones testimony to find him a violent gang member. How does someone get a life sentence with no weapons and no witnesses??? Just Todd’s false testimony on a shooting that never occurred from a shot upp rental car? If the rental car was shot up by the defendant why was he never convicted??I hate reading stuff that isn’t real!!! He should of prayed for forgiveness instead of coming to California to ruin someone else’s life. They had their beef but what possessed him to have the District Attorney in Scotts court case convince him to testify with no deals involved??? I could never be respect TIK TOK or place Gospel or Christian by his name God forgives but Todd I can’t you looked me straight in the face and then you looked at him and said (yea that’s him except he had a lot more acne at the time and laughed). Is that how u feel about court and life its funny? It’s a game? I’m done I had to post my opinion and I think I’ll write Todd a nice letter.
truth?
written by pdublestank, July 05, 2009
Before this gets any further...

I've known Chris for a minute and he's a true man of God.

Todd is juz' going thru some things from his past that have caught up to him...

...but, digressing a bit and getting back on the topic...I've had it laid on my heart for a spell now that there is a void in the HHH world of those whom have the ability to, calling to and life experience to - minister to the certain demographic that the Gospel Gangsters, SS Mob, CMC's, etc...targeted...

I'm hesitant to even ask where are today's innovators in HHH?...who is willing to get grimy for no payback from the World?...because, the follow-up could so easily turn into critiques of different artist's styles, backgrounds, ministries, calling, etc...which should not happen...

There is a culture/environment that many only get glimpses of via TV documentaries...a culture that lives by their own set of rules/codes and where death is an accepted and realistic possibility not just on a daily basis, but also on a breath by breath basis.

These are kats that have their own "messiahs" and their own "bibles" and when they hear the word "Jesus" or feel as if they are getting preached at in the beginning of a song/album will just turn it off and play something else...Why would they do any different?...what reason do they have to play the music that has blatant "jesus cheerleading" and/or "preaching" when there are acceptable alternatives in their eyes?

That's a world that feels as if it's seperate from the rest...feels forgotten and so they have their own standards, their own lifestyle, their own "religion."

As a "former" GD and someone who came-up in that very culture, I fully understand what it's like and I've experienced kats turning-off/flipping to the next track (of some of the hottest HHH artists today, BTW) when they hear the word "jesus" or preaching/praising, etc...too early in a song...before the credibility of the artist...the beat...the sound can "hook" them.

It takes a certain style/sound...a special type of person...someone with the right background...to step-down into these grimy, dangerous streets and represent the Lord. This type of ministry isn't for everyone...and thus, the music isn't either...

Many don't understand this culture (and there's nothing wrong with that, because unless you've experienced it, it's hard to truely grasp it)...but, before we make claims and pass judgements about something we don't understand (not saying anyone is)...we should consider using discerment in our comments and seek understanding...as not to be naïve...(Again, making no accusations)...

It's impossible to sound to "gangster," if you are "gangster." It's a lifestyle, a social aspect of your personality that unless the Spirit rids it from you still remains a part of your make-up as a minister of the gospel...otherwise, you'd have no credibility...because on these streets it's all about being real and they spot fakeness in an instant...you truly only get one chance to make a first impression and who you are and what you stand for and your willingness to stand for that carries tremendous weight in these streets.

Ironically, they don't really care about race...they don't care if you are a Christian...as long as you're willing to claim it and be unwavering in that claim, they'll show you much respect...in truth, it's better to not drink, smoke, deal, etc...and stay firm on that slab, then to waver and take a drink/hit here and there (feeling like you have to in order to prove yourself/fit in)...you have much more respect and thus, a larger platform to minister with the former than the latter...

Again, I feel there is a void within the HHH world targeting this demographic...whether that's due to there not being enough support from the church (read: body), not enough saved gangsters willing to follow the calling or what...I don't know...I just feel on my soul this missing focus, as the HHH market continues to grow/gain ground, respect, credibility, etc...

Hip-hop came from these very streets and the Word came from these same streets (but, in a different time)...Christ spent so much time with characters that could be coorelated to today's "gangsters"...He knew how to sit with them, break bread with them and ultimately gain their respect enough to minister to them...

He didn't ask anyone else to do so...until He brought down the Spirit after His resurection...and even then, he instructed them to dust the dirt off the feet if someone/town/city wouldn't listen...

In closing...look at Paul (Saul?)...a gangster of high-regard in his time...then look at what He did (while still keeping and using many of the same personality traits and such that he possesed before his redemption)...why did God choose him?...was it because of his credibility towards those he was called to minister?

Intelligence, DMac?
written by Vokal, July 05, 2009
When I saw your comment, it kinda set me off in a way.
Just because there is a change in a few letters doesn't mean there is a change in the word.
That's like the lame excuse for the N word; excusing some people to use it, just because there is a change the the suffix.
I don't really know abt the Gospel Gangstaz; I've never listened to them.
But that excuse for their name, is actually pretty lame.

I will be praying for Tic Tokk though.

God bless.

Intellegence people?
written by DMac, July 03, 2009
Gangsta and Gangster are not necesarily the same thing. Yes the Etymology Gangsta comes from the word Gangster. Gangster means "a member of a gang of criminals"(dictionary.com)
Gangsta is "an aggressive type of rap music focused on gang culture and violence"
They are focused on singing about the gang culture and violence but battling it with the Word of God and through song. Gospel Gangstaz is the best fitting word for the ministry. Don't be so ignorant. You all obviously know no one is perfect but still saddened of what happened. We should definitely pray for tic tock, but I think I should pray for some people and their false judgments and presumptions. If you are getting turned off from their music I guess I can say you must have misunderstandings of why the present themselves the way the do. I can tell that by the way they question the groups name. I hope this will at least educate you a little.
I did not know
written by Kalikayia, May 12, 2009
I have been a fan of the Gospel Gangstaz and I am shocked! But one thing that I know is that I thank GOD for being merciful and ever forgiving. I hope Tik Tokk makes this a stepping stone, instead of a stubling block!

You cant take a negative word and make it positive.The meaning of the word cannot be changed. You can't be a Gangster for Christ or a thug for Christ. if you label yourself that then that's what you will be. wisdomThere is no need to use negative words or slang to attract people in the world. They will listen because of the Christ in you

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they just lacked wisdom back in the day when they started the group. But they are still calling themselves Ganstaz??? didnt they changed thier name to "Camp 8" Or did they go back to GG. Concerning the situaiton I hope Tik TOkk has repented and that he will keep his head up
prayer!!!

It's up because we should pray for and care about the man. The Bible talks about sin. No matter what he did or did not do, it's no worse than anything you or I have done.
