Give The Player A Moment To Load.

    Well, we sold out of all of our Based On A True Story DVDs and CDs and we want to say THANK YOU!!!  What's really crazy is that once we sold out, everyone started really trying to get the project (calling and writing).  We really did not want to go back to the project as good as it was or everything that goes along with promoting a project.  We were ready to move on to bigger and better things but we wanted to give others the chance to still be able to get it so we decided to post it here for FREE!!!  ENJOY!

      MeTooMusic has released Based On A True Story DVD, the highly anticipated new video release from Levi "Too" King. The two hour DVD is distributed at www.metoomusic.com
 
Levi "Too" King & friends recorded this DVD over the course of about three months.  It started when they decided to video their CD Release Party at Alvin's Coffee & Pastry Shop in March of 2006.  That's when they had the thought to do a DVD a bit outside of the norm.  This DVD features their CD Release Concert, a performance by Shablo & the Shablettes(a fictional quartet style group who messes up the Bible),a radio interview, the CD Release Party performance, Free Delivery Weekend (pizza style delivery of CDs), rehearsal in the studio, behind the scenes of the CD Release Concert, and more.

Recording this DVD was really fun and a great experience because of the people involved.  This is one CRAZY crew!!!!  The main singers consist of Meaghan Williams, G3 (Raytina Pritchard, Leamond Sloan, Jr., & Crystal Williams), and the main band consist of Alvin Quinn, Jamel Alford Grinston, Charles Ransom, & Levi "Too" King.  It is amazing that they ever get any work done with all of the joking that goes on.  "This is a family."  I know you hear that all of the time but in this case we really are.  It may not be by blood for all of us but it is definitely by bond and relationship.  All of us have been close for years and will still be when we are not doing CDs anymore.

We had a ball recording the 2 disc set CD.  We spent MANY sleepless nights in the studio writing and laying down the songs.  Most of the songs were written by Leamond Sloan, Jr. & Levi "Too" King.  Other writers who contributed to this project were Cedric Shannon Rives, Oscar Williams, Jr., & Taj En'Phiniti Davidson.  The crazy thing is that there are other songs that were recorded for the CD but did not make the cut after Too heard a preached message that totally changed his life forever.  After hearing the message he got rid of the songs (enough songs to almost fill another disc).

The 2 disc set features many talented musicians & singers.  9 drummers (Jamel Alford Grinston, Donald Rice, Wendell Holmes, Jeremy Haynes, Mark Colenburg, Robert Woodie, Cledell King, Jr., Charles "Chuck" Haynes, & Kevin Kelley).  3 bass guitarist (Alvin Quinn, John "Jon-Jon" Webb, & Carlos Henderson).  3 lead guitarist (Gregg "Happy Guitar" Haynes, Kevin King, & Shaun Robinson).  It features singers such as G3 (Raytina, Leamond, & Crystal), Meaghan Williams, Dedicated, Carenso "Cory" Ivy, Karen Bailey-Outland, Taj En'Phiniti Davidson, Liana Tyson-Haynes, Pastor Shadrach & Rev. Cleophus Robinson, Jr., Tiffanie "Tink" Williams, Min. Chris "Butch" Woodie, Pastor Victor Hicks, Detrayshia "Tracy" Smith, Tiffany Gilkey-Chears, Denis Atty, Dr. Levi R. King, Sr., Bro. Derek Hubbard, Tru' Heart, and Cedric Shannon Rives.

The CD Release Concert for the DVD was recorded live at the First Bible Fellowship Church in E. St. Louis, IL where Dr. Levi R. King, Sr. is Pastor.  Joining the band was Larry Brown (lead guitar) & Jerry Scruggs (keyboards).  Contributing to the background vocals for the night were four different groups.  Dedicated (Teresa Cooper, Leah Wattree, Dee Jackson, & Tyree Cooper), True Heart (Reva Nelson, Amber Sweet, Tenisha Johnson, Andrea Cotton, & Kenya Whitney), BFAC Praise Team (Jackie Hall, Daris "Joe" "DJ" Hicks, & Lekim Hicks), & of course G3 & Meaghan.  There was one song "I'll Let Nothing Separate Me" where a ton of kids joined in with the other singers.  Pastor Victor Hicks, Tiffany Gilkey-Chears, and Min. Chris Butch Woodie all appeared singing leads.

G3 & Meaghan all come from a bigger group that Too once had in the early 2000s (Gospel According To Too).  They are still here talking about doing reunions with the old group members but I just want to know when & how they could find the time to do that while keeping busy singing & producing on tons of other projects.
