...last summer, neither had joined the church. "You just feel so spiritual when you leave [the church], but then you get back to normal life," Genelle explains.

The church frowns upon cohabiting out of wedlock--"It's fornication," Genelle says--but they weren't yet ready to marry. Instead they planned a party trip.

Madchild, who also doubles as producer and head of the group’s label, Battle Axe Records, has a nasal timbre that sounds like a blending of Cypress Hill’s B-Real, and everyone’s favorite caustic caucasian, Marshall Mathers. Prevail’s tone is deeper—perhaps how Dr. Dre’s little brother might sound on the mic. These points noted, the combination is effective, especially when blended with...
