====== The Rap'Sures ======

Kid's Rap / Comedy\\
Costa Mesa, California, USA

According to [[Terry Scott Taylor]]: "Well, there wasn't any (rap) on the Christian labels. We do a kids thing, we see it as appealing to 7 and 9 year olds. No one was doing it. We just brainstormed a little bit, Rob Watson and Doug Doyle and I, we were just looking for something to do, something to work on, we did it and then didn't think that much about it, and it was successful. Don't ask me why. We thought, no one will take this seriously, we're just doing it for kids, a little Bible story kind of thing. [[Megamouth]] was kind of the same thing. We looked at it that way."
