Gang Affiliated is the debut album released by Gospel Gangstaz.[1] It was released on October 28, 1994 for MYX Records and featured production from DJ Dove and Mr. Solo. The album is widely considered as the first harder-edged Christian hip-hop album as the sound and lyrics had a gritty element to them that was virtually unseen in the genre at the time as this album sounded much like the popular West Coast Gangsta G-funk music of the mid-1990s. Gang Affiliated managed to make it to No. 19 on the Top Christian Albums Billboard chart. However, the three singles: "Mobbin' (Gang Affiliated)", "Testimony" and "Y Cain't da Homiez Hear Me?" did not make it to any Billboard charts.

In the July/August 2010 issue of HM Magazine, Gang Affiliated was No. 1 on the list of the "Top 20 Christian Hip Hop Albums of All Time".
