Biography

The 116 Clique (pronounced one-one-six click) is a Christian hip-hop group from Dallas, TX, signed to Reach Records. Group members Lecrae, Tedashii, Json, Thi'sl, Sho, and Trip Lee blend a style of hip-hop similar to fellow Texans UGK and Lil' Flip with a Christian theme -- it's Bun B meets Kirk Franklin. The group derives its name from the biblical scripture Romans 1:16, which reads: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile." They debuted with The Compilation Album in 2005. DJ Primo remixed the original recordings in Texas fashion the following year with The Compilation Album: Chopped and Screwed; it included four bonus tracks. In 2007 they released 13 Letters, the album name representing the 13 letters Paul wrote to first-century Christian congregations. ~ Vincent Thomas, All Music Guide

The 116 Clique (pronounced one-one-six click) is a Christian hip hop group from Dallas, Texas signed to Reach Records. It consists of mostly Reach Records' artists. The 116 Clique is named after the Bible verse Romans 1:16. "For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile." For them it means acknowledging the power of the Gospel and to proclaim it in every area of their life. "We can lay our lives down to serve and glorify God in everything we do." After the initial The Compilation Album (2005), DJ Primo remixed the original recordings into The Compilation Album : Chopped & Screwed : Special Edition. The remix album was released in 2006 and included four bonus tracks. They went on the Unashamed Tour in the summer of 2008. Lecrae, Tedashii, Sho Baraka, Trip Lee and Flame went on the Don't Waste Your Life Tour in the summer of 2009. In October-November of 2009 Lecrae, After Edmund, Sho Baraka, Tedashii, and Mikeschair went on an Altered Minds tour. LeCrae, Tedashii, Trip lee, and Sho Baraka are currently touring separately.
