What Happened To Dem Franchize Boyz | Beef with D4L | Why they split up | Attempted Robbery & more

In the mid 2000s, Jermaine Dupri was on fire. He worked with artists such as Usher and Mariah Carey, contributing to a huge number of their hits. Throughout his career Jermaine has always kept his eyes out for new talent and around 2006 he signed Dem Franchize boyz to so-so def.

NaS isn't so talented himself. He's only respected in the NYC metropolitan area down to Virginia. Past that, NaS isn't recognized as being talented. There's more respect for artists like Ludacris, Ti, Project Pat. They suffered from a group breakup but their music is respected and was very much enjoyed. Groups have it harder than Solo artists. NaS is o.k. But that Southern style of music is what really take the cake.

[@john146muaythai]

The true gospel is the good news of the Person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, it is concerning who Christ is and what He did to save sinners. The gospel includes the how and why, which can only be seen by faith. It is a message that declares how the eternal Son of God came down, took on a body of sinless flesh (John 1:14) as He was born of a virgin (Mat 1:23). He was both God and man in one Person. He was born under the Law to keep and fulfill it (Mat 5:18, Gal 4:4). He did that, not for Himself, but for all those He represented because they could not keep it themselves. The word of God calls these people the elect or His sheep, among several other names. His obedient life also included the part of dying. He took on the sin of His people as both a Substitute and Representative of those people. The Bible said He was "made to be sin" (II Cor 5:21) and the way that was done is by God imputing (legally reckoned or charged to the account of) sin to Christ. That means all the sin of all those people God chose was "laid on Him" (Isaiah 53:6). This sin was legally transferred to His account and He then owned it in such a way to be guilty of it all. God the Father poured out His wrath and hatred toward sin on His Son and had pleasure (Isaiah 53:10) in doing so, in that, He was completely satisfied in Christ as a Sacrifice that met all the demands of His strict Law and inflexible justice. Christ finished the work of paying the penalty of the Law and then said " It is finished" (John 19:30). He secured salvation for all God’s chosen people that would even be born. His resurrection is evidence of the acceptance of His sacrifice to the Father. The combined work of His obedience to the Law and His obedience unto death on the cross was considered establishing righteousness. This is what one of the Old Testament prophets prophesied as "bringing in an everlasting righteousness" (Daniel 9:24) as Christ died effectually and exclusively for those chosen of God before the world began (Eph 1:4). This righteousness is what God imputes to His people in the context of giving the life to believe in Christ. This puts them in a state called "Justification" and as a result they are eternally secure, in Christ. This is the gospel (Rom 1:16-17). All this takes place in such a way to show God as both a God of justice and a Savior. This is how grace reigns through righteousness (Rom 5:21).

What happened to mims and V.I.C

[@ResilientBeing1987]

M.I.M.S. ended up getting a regular job at one point. He only had two hit singles.

[@ranelgallardo7031]

MIMS became an app developer and made an app for music. VIC went back to underground, not so sure what exactly his music does there.
