LPG is an American Christian hip-hop duo from Los Angeles, California, and part of the underground hip hop collective Tunnel Rats. Their name was understood to stand for "Lord's Personal Gangsters", but now is "Living Proof of Grace". They released their first album:the earthworm in 1995,an album well known as a landmark for Christian hip-hop, on Brainstorm Artists International.
LPG were the founders of The Tunnel Rats, who made their debut album "Experience" in 1996 on Brainstorm Records as well. The album made a big impression on the Christian hip-hop scene. Albert Olguin and "Dax" Reynosa, also known as Jurny Big (or Philharmonic) and Theory, made up the group. Original members also included the group Future Shock (Ajax Starglider, Soujourn, redbonz (or ahred strange indeed), and Trey Qel Drama), Raphi (Shames Worthy), ZaneOne (aka Zane), New Breed (Elsie and Macho), Propaganda, and Peace.586.
Like other Christan hip-hop groups, they had trouble being accepted by conservatives in the Christian ranks. "There were years of toiling and being called the devil," said Reynosa. "We are ministers of the gospel, but we just happen to rap."
LPG is a Dutch indie-pop band, signed on Excelsior Recordings/V2 Records. In April 2005, their critically acclaimed debut album I fear no foe was released in the Netherlands, receiving positive reviews from established magazines and websites, such as Oor, VPRO 3voor12 and Volkskrant. There were few negative reviews, which mostly struggled with the applause in the opening track Speech, and the diversity of the band.
Shortlty after releasing the debut album, the band released a homemade music video to the song Sparrow, which consisted out of more than 1500 separate photos, resulting in an artistic animation. All in their early twenties, the band toured the Netherlands and supported such acts as The Cribs and Zita Swoon. In January 2006, the band announced the song Belly Rollercoaster from their debut album I fear no foe was to be used in a worldwide TV commercial for the Nokia 6280 mobile phone. The music video to this song proved a struggle to make, and was released several months after its premature release party.
