P.I.D.

Rap
Dallas, Texas, USA

P.I.D. or Preachers in Disguise made their debut nationally in 1988 with the album Here We Are on Graceland Records. They are considered one of the founders of the holyhiphop scene in the United States. The crew consisted of Barry Hogan (also known as Barry G.), Fred Lynch, and DJ Selecta. Barry G. departed after three albums - The Chosen Ones (1991) was his last record for P.I.D. This album was also the introduction of Fred Lynch's brother K-Mack the Knife.

P.I.D. changed their name to Preachas after four albums and released their last record Violent Playgrounds in 1993. The final line up was Ace MC, Fred Lynch, and K-Mack the Knife. Just after the release of Violent Playgrounds, K-Mack became a member of the Nation of Islam. Since Fred could only rap about his Christian faith, this was the end of P.I.D./Preachas. The brothers are still close and Fred Lynch is still active with the gospel and rap activities.
