In 1993, the group released "Pullin' No Punches" and did another Christian metal collaboration, this time for Bride's cover of Argent's "God Gave Rock and Roll to You". With their third album "Righteous Funk" the group began to resist the rap label and emphasize the 70s funk sounds they grew up on. ("We come from the '70s era of funk: Parliament, Earth, Wind & Fire, Heatwave. So, it was really great that we were able to express and come forth with that and introduce the Christian market to something they might not have ever known about.") The songs "Hollywood" and "Wind Me Up" featured funk legends Bootsy Collins, Maceo Parker, Bernie Worrell and Fred Wesley. The album earned the group a Grammy nomination. Reduced to a duo of "Hoody Roc" (Alton Hood) and "Disciple Paul"(David Brooks) and based in Cleveland, Ohio the group formed their own record label We are One/Throne Room Records through which they released the CD "The Antidote". The album was promoted with a tour merging their music with mime, poetry, dance and drama in a package the group called a "Rapusical".
