BIG CITY:"the NEW ERA"

May 19, 2006 (Press Release) -- Ronald �Big City� Goodwin has seen some of the worst horrors of life on the rough streets of "Brotherly Love". In a world filled with so much sadness and pain Big City is living proof of God�s healing power and true redemption through Christ�s blood. As a child, his older brother William rescued him from a rape attempt. Unable to fight off this powerful man, 13 year old William gave himself to take Big City�s place and was raped himself. Sadly, William grew up and died of Aids. Focused forward, Big City has been on a mission fueled by God's grace and brotherly sacrifice. Remaining true to his convictions, he works closely with organizations like; Hope worldwide, Hope for Kids, and W.I.M. International to continue building strength and hope through benevolence and education. With the #1 goal to see people (especially young people) whole, he candidly shares his past failures and continuous growth in his relationship with Jesus. As a father of 3 wonderful children he is disturbed by the virtual porn and violent lyrics played over the airwaves and television. This husband, father, recording artist, and high school football coach is doing more then simply lament! Armed with the knowledge of his empowerment through God�s Word, Big City started a label, hit the booth and is waging war on Satan�s aggressive plot against the youth! Since then, his integrity and consistent dedication to God's word has gained Big City the respect of fans and peers throughout the U.S. and abroad. Raw, honest, smooth and yet gritty, his album "The New Era" is without pretension. His heated in your face lyrics takes you to a time when hip hop artist had to be seasoned emcees. Filled with fluff free, motivational joints for any situation, this album is truly intense and sure to be a classic! It is official, "The New Era" is here!
