Liquid performed a seven-song set and shared his personal testimony of growing up in North Philadelphia, an area known predominantly for an abundance of drugs, violence and poverty; an area simply called The Badlands. He also spent time with the inmates in a Q&A session after the performance. "Friday's show humbled me," said Liquid of the experience. "I felt like God really was using me and has given me a heart for those guys. It was so awesome to see the fire in them-they were on fire for the Lord! It made me realize that I need that same fire for the Lord and should strive for it everyday."
Men of Valor is a ministry outreach committed to winning men in prison to Jesus Christ and discipling them. They aim to equip inmates to re-enter society as men of integrity and givers to the community, rather than takers. Tales From The Badlands, Liquid's debut album which streets July 18th, features an eclectic mix of musical influences including Latino-tinged R&B, old-school hip-hop, and 1970's soul.
