"I call it true soul… It's definitely heartfelt, very soulful. People are getting back to that soulful place that's full of real situations, real life dreams and they wanna know that other people feel it, too. And Gemini and I we've been there and we've felt it all. That's what makes us sing these songs for real." - Dave Tolliver.

With Love, Struggle & Progress. Men at Large return to their rightful place at the forefront of today's urban music. Marrying a classic R&B renaissance with the lush vocals of old soul and all the cutting edge of hip-hop's street raps. Cleveland's Dave Tolliver and Chicago's Gemini have created a sound that is both utterly modern and ultimately fresh. Men at Large are about the various moods and currents of real life

They testify about how hard it can be and how worth it is to stay in the game and how good it is when you get there. Of course, given the group's history - with two #1 smashes "Use Me" and "So Alone" plus four more songs that made it into the Top 20s. "You, Me" "Mmm, Mmmm Good" "Would You Like To Dance?" and "Holiday" under their substantial belts.<Continue> click here
