With a hit single (and video) making its way through the social media world, XMAN Minsitries (Krosswordz, PS2, Xclusive) had everyone anticipating a great show. Add on some of the HD Platform’s HIP HOP favorites and it is a guaranteed party.

For the first time blessing the stage, MC LIFE translated his powerful testimony of gangs and anger into some hard-hitting music that kicked off the night. Joined on stage by G-LOC, the two shared their stories of how Jesus changed their lives. From G-LOC’s “66 Reasons” to MC Life’s “I Promise You”, the 2 MC’s rocked THE PLATFORM for the first of many shows to come.

“When I Say Jesus You Say Light Life”! KING D started his performance with one of the many reasons why he is one of the local favorites. His crowd participation and catchy hooks brings back that classic Hip Hop feel good vibe. Performing his hits, King D had the entire place dancing…and bouncing when he dropped a remix of the old school jam “Bounce, Rock, Skate”. If you’re looking for that old school hip hop vibe make sure to catch the MC who reps that Kingdom Dynasty, King D.

I think every man, woman, and child was “popping their collar and leaning to the side” after this next performance. THE SAINT brought his west coast sound and hyped every body up out of their seats. Tha Saint put together a nice set that he called his past, present, and future, taking the crowd through hits from his past and up coming albums. He definitely ended his set with a bang, debuting his new single “The Holy Ghost Walk” which I promise you, we’ll be seeing a lot more of. Yeeeee!!!

WOW! That’s how I can start describing the last performance of the night. XMAN Minsitries (Krosswordz, PS2, Xclusive) SHUT IT DOWN! Over the past year Krosswordz has emerged as a PLATFORM favorite and his position has only made him allow Jesus to flow through him more and more. Not only has he stepped up as an artist but now he is joined with the equally hot MC’s PS2 & Xclusive. The three had the place jumping as soon as their beat hit, and if that wasn’t enough, they were joined on stage by CAUGHT UP’s Stephanie Lozano-Quintanar, who shined bright in their collaboration “Letters to God”. But what everyone was waiting for was that fog horn, hand clapping, whistling synth, smash hit “Turn It Up”. The crowd went crazy as soon as they announced this song and I promise you, we’ll be hearing this jam for a while. GET LIVE! –Esteban

Caught Up // July 21, 2012 @ The Platform

Aside from making a long line of people wait outside for 30mins before letting them in (thank you Miranda! just kidding) this event went without a bump in the road…well, except for the clogged toilet. LET’S GET THE SHOW STARTED! Always a blessing to have him, first on stage “KROSSWORDZ“. This MC brings a powerful message that doesn’t hold anything back while keeping you rocking your head back and forth to some awesome wall rattling beats. Krosswordz was joined on stage by his son (an awesome talent as well) Xclusive and ProsperaD and letting the mic be passed around by these 3 artist is a guaranteed great performance that still has my 6 year old son singing “we chase Him like this, we chase Him like that“.




Second on stage, one of my favorite High Desert groups, “HOLY KISS“. When you start your set with Steve Miller’s “The Joker” mixed with “Holiness” you can pretty much bet that the rest of the songs are going to be awesome. Floyd and Letrice have such a great sound, their vocals mix so good that their harmony’s kept my ears wide open from beginning to end.





COOOOLLLOOOOOSSSAAALLLLPANIC!!!!!! Ok, i’ll bring my dramatic meter down, I just can’t help but to get excited when I see this group, the praise & worship band “COLOSSAL PANIC“. The instantly took the crowd into hand clapping praise and then ended their set with a CP original, but it was their cover of “You Won’t Relent” that allowed the crowd to worship freely along side of Colossal Panics guitars and violin.






I was excited to see and hear “DAYSEYE” when they wheeled in their own light show. Then I was excited because they brought in enough speakers that their hometown of Barstow could enjoy the show without leaving their homes, but then I noticed they had a fog machine and I knew these guys came to rock. Right from the intro DaysEye had me on the edge of my seat and after hearing their song “I’m Down” I am very sure that these guys are on their way to making a name for themselves throughout the country. Lead singer Travis Schooler is a perfect front man for this group. His powerful guitar sounds fit perfectly with his strong vocals that rocked the crowd through the whole set. As awesome as the music was Travis really connected with the crowd when he shared his testimony. It was during that time where the audience was able to see the heart of this awesome group.







And just when I thought this show couldn’t get any better…it does. Next up, my good friends “CAUGHT UP“. Do I even need to tell you how awesome their performance was? Well if you weren’t there then let me tell you…it rocked. From the first sound of the vocals over those hard-hitting drums and guitars we were loving it. The whole place went crazy when they played their up tempo version of “Revelation Song” and as soon as they started the bass line to “Secret Admirer” I was reminded why these guys are one of my favorite local bands. This had to be one of my favorite Caught Up performances and I believe that we are looking at a group that is going to have huge impact on the Christian Music Scene. -Esteban
