Still Trill Christians Receive White House Recognition

Houston's Still Trill Christians were recently honored with President Obama's "Call to Service" award and medal for their continued support of the country's youth and for their "No Sex" song/campaign in particular. The track sounds like a mainstream bedroom rap song but instead encourages teens to resist the pressures of pre-martial intercourse.

Group members JT (Joshua Dillard, 23), ACE (Antawan Moore, 24), Prince AJ (Albert McQueen, 20) and Erupt (Elwyn Dillard, 24) formed the group at their church home In Christ Ministries in Humble,Texas several years ago. Last January they were invited to perform the track and gave their testimony on BET's popular "106 & Park" show.

The group recently signed with positive music promoter Rick Hendrix whose company currently works Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, U2 and Aretha Franklin. "I am so excited about these guys, they bring a new vibe to hip hop, the church, street, back porch and front porch," Hendrix said.

STC member JT explained, "The church is in us but we’re taking it beyond the church. Jesus wasn’t in the church; He was in the streets spreading the ministry. And that’s what we intend to do.”
