Album Notes

The World Needs:

More people that motivate others to hope, dream and inspire.

People to keep their promises and morals. It's harder to get it back when you compromise yourself!

Positive music to fuel your heart, mind, and soul. Seek out true feelings and thoughts instead of commercialized industry lies!

You to give back... as much as you have taken! Leave this earth better than you found it.

Everyone to conserve and go green. Do what it takes to save energy!

Us to stand up for what's right and not let greed, politics, or power be the foundation for our decisions.

People to understand , listen, and promote diversity. We are all different... but we have more in common.

To enjoy good food, conversations, and company!

To make sure to tell your friends and family that you love them.

Each person to be flexible, honest, and caring for the next generation to pass it on.

Us to spread love and be self-less than selfish!


THANK YOUS....

MC SHOANTEL: First and foremost, I would like to thank GOD for making everything possible and providing me with a solid foundation of friends and family. To my wife for being the rock in my life and keeping me balanced. Through my job, I have been blessed to be able to save lives daily through prevention. I have become a better person and get to provide opportunities that create positive outlets for youth. I don’t know where I would be with out music, self-expression, and Hip Hop Culture. Thank you to all the Artists that have inspired, educated, and pushed me to create positive Hip Hop Soul Music.

VINGOGH: Thank the heavens for my thoughts, my family and friends, for putting up with me, & Thank You to those who took the time to listen to 3rd Level...

MC OVERDOSE: I first need to thank those responsible for Hip Hop and those who have preserved its integrity. Without them there would be no MC Overdose, I thank my Mother for keeping me grounded through my crazy life and supporting my dreams and goals. I thank the few true friends that remain in my life and thank GOD for granting me the strength to remove those who were unhealthy for my growth and my mission. And none of us would be where we are at today with this music without 3rd Level, That's the family that we all support and thank for the opportunity to record and have direction to show what’s worth representing. Thank you to the fans, friends, and family who support me and us. One Love

GWEN: Big thanks to my parents for raising me to seize opportunities in my Grasp. I couldn’t have accomplished anything with my faith in GOD and support from my family, friends, and co-workers (love you #1 fan). And the behind it all; you have pushed me in all aspects of my life and I can’t thank you enough.

ODYSSEY: All my life I’ve had things and people that I am thankful for. But most of all, I’m thankful for God, my Mother, and Hip Hop. If it wasn’t for these three things, I wouldn’t be here or in music. I’m grateful that I was given the ability to rhyme & write lyrics. Also, I want to give a special thanks to MC Shoantel for giving me a chance to record and hold me down at 3LP. Much love.

BADROK: Big Ups to the Maker, the Source and Creator of our Wonderful (yet confusing) Universe. Altho, it can be hectic at times, with patience we find a way. Keep pushing. Thanks also to the following 2009 VIP's of Motivation and Inspiration: Gameezy, Mr. Yasuhara, My Family from Guam to Cali, Friends and colleagues and the entire 3rd level music family. Blaze away, Ars gratia artis!

URZUS: I want to thank my family and my friends for the support that they gave me. I want to thank Cary from 3LP for giving me the opportunity to make music and deliver a positive message to everyone. And I want to thanks everyone who supported our music and showed love.

3RD LEVEL PRODUCTIONS: would like to thank Vingogh for giving us the vision to make music from the soul, think deep, challenge each other, and push us to write from a worldly perspective. Props to all the up and coming producers that have inspired us to get creative and make uplifting music. Thanks to Nouki (Nou Vang) for designing the 3LP logo. Desiree Dallagiacomo for the creative direction with all of our photos. Lastly, We would like to personally thank all of our fans for supporting us by listening and pushing our music to the masses. It’s much appreciated!
