Trig's Shift into CHH
While Trig (James Rosseau) was saved, he was still producing secular music. However, an interaction with a member of The Cross Movement made a major impression on him. His convictions led him to shift entirely to Christian Hip-Hop.
Later that year he released "Project Omega (the EP)" that year as an artist and producer.

The Birth of Holy Culture Radio
Holy Culture Radio was the brainchild of DJ/Producer Vic Padilla. While stationed at Holloman AFB New Mexico, he met Lee, who happened to be the program director at KRUX FM. Vic shared his love for Christian Hip Hop and was subsequently asked to host his own show. Vic dubbed the show "Holy Culture Radio," and the rest is history.

The Birth of the website
Because Holy Culture Radio was only being broadcast live (on the net), listeners all over the world were forced to stay up at weird times of the day in order not to miss the broadcast. This led to Vic, with the help of the ultra-talented website design company JZ Designs, to launch HolyCultureRadio.com, where his popular mix show could now be offered to the masses in a pre-recorded version… globally 24/7!
2008-01-01
HolycultureDownload.com is born
Vic created the HolyCultureDownload.com store, allowing artists to have a place to sell their songs and albums via MP3s.

Holy Culture Record Pool is Founded
This record pool was founded by Vic Padilla and Damon O'Brien. It is now owned and operated by Damon (aka DJ D-Lite).
The HCR family of websites launched an exciting new service available to professional DJs and media outlets that promote Christian Hip Hop and R&P music. The Holy Culture Record Pool was a resource for indie artists and record labels. Subscribers to the pool will have access to the newest Christian Hip Hop, R&P, and Electronica recordings and will be able to break these releases to the masses.

Holy Culture Merges with illspot.net
With a change in life, Vic decides to exit Holy Culture. However, at the same time, discussions begin with their good friend Anonymous who was running illSpot.net. Trig and Anonymous decide to join forces under the Holy Culture name.
