JOSH THANK YOU
First of all, thanks to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Without him none of this is possible. I thank him everyday for his strength, blessings, and guidance. He deserves all the glory. Mom & Dad: you raised me, taught me right from wrong, put up with my hardhead, and still loved me and supported my career. I can't thank you enough. To my sister: you have been such a good friend and so supportive through all of this. To my grandparents: I love you more than life and you are the reason I am here. To Alice Bug, Roz Tina, Brook & Kenny...we've had so much fun through the years and so much more to come. Kenny, you know you are my boy for life. To Uncle Ed and Aunt Juanita, thanks for everything.
I want to thank Bill for believing in us since day one and teaching us so much. To Qadree: You have been an inspiration. Tom, Derek, Pinky, Tamara, Bruce and Maryann. Thank you for your support and blessing.
To all the producers: Rodney, Robin, Paul & Rod, and to the Winans. Thank you. I learned so much.
To my boys back home in NC: Luke, Daniel & Jacklyn, Markie, and Nick...Y'all have been there since the beginning. Y'all know that we are boys for life & have so much fun to come. I want to thank everyone back home who doubted us and gave us the drive to get where we are. I want to thank Mike for the support. Jessica: you have been my rock, support and best friend. Thank you! To the guys: we have been through a lot and we've always believed there's much more to come. What a ride!
Thank you to the fans for the love and support. Without y'all, this wouldn't be possible. You are the reason we sing. We love each one of you.
RAJ THANK YOU
I would like to thank Jesus for giving us all the courage and passion to follow through with His will. I would also like to thank Him for Bill Edwards and Qadree El-Amin for believing in us and doing whatever it takes to see us fulfill our dreams.
To Jeffrey, Tom, and Derek, thanks for staying true and pushing us. To Pinky, Jimmy, and Erick, thanks for knowing exactly what to do to make our lives so much easier. To Victor, you are definitely heaven sent. Thank you for dealing with us even during our rough times. God has a blessing for you and your family. Congrats on your new baby girl. Hopefully she'll be just like you-caring, loving, and always willing to support what's right.
Mom, Dad, Angela, Roslyn, Yvonne, Antonio, and Uncle Eric-not once have you ever doubted me or thought any of my dreams were out of reach. For that alone, there is no thank you big enough or anything I could ever do to repay you. I love you so much for all your guidance and support that my heart is running out of room to hold it all in. There are many more people that I didn't get to thank, but you are all in my heart and I thank you for your support as well.
Last, and certainly not least, a big thank you to all of our fans. Without your love and support our music would never be heard and felt.
