There is real "meat" in the message and the style is tight. Christ For Life.Peace. "Hip Hop meets Christian Ministry".This album combines the Gospel Message with an authentic "bumpady-Bump" flavor. That real deal "double edged sword" is swinging to some funky beats.Way to rep-re-sent.
Great Album. It really speaks to you and the subjects are easy to relate to.
Every song on this album is on point with the exception of "Hey Girl".Badia's voice just makes me cringe. EP definitely brought the heat on this record. If you like that undergound, east coast, gritty style of rap, then this cd is for you. My personal fav's are:Resist the systemGraceAll I need Holla at meAs real as it getsEven if you don't like this style of rap, I still recommend this cd, cuz it's that good.
'As real as it gets', a joint you can pump in your ride, which is an honest assessment of the hardness of the Christian walk, and an encouragement to keep-on, keeping on. This release is more grimmy, then any other CM releases that, to my mind have been released, and I don't say that as a negative thing, as I do like that sound myself. The After party is a rough party joint that, whilst having a beat that makes a brother wanna move, has Godly lyrics relating to the ultimate 'After Party', the life promised to God's elect, in heaven. What with this being a CM joint, you know it had to finish with a cypha, and not this any cypha. Na, they bring it, full on, with special guests: Lecrae, Flame, R-swift, and the awesome Phanatik, and Ambassador, who to these ears, really kill it. Whilst not every track on here is a banger, when the production, lyrics, are on point, boy do they bring it. Simply put, it exposes what we could have been without the grace of God, through the life death, and resurrect of his son Jesus Christ.
'Hey Girl' is a warning to all the sisters out there, with reference to the men, and ways of the world that, if used to define your self worth, will ultimately lead to unhappiness, and separation from God. All in all this CD is evidence, if evidence was needed, that HHH's new generation won't drop the baton handed to them, and will represent the most high to the fullest. The Group known as Cross Movement are no more, and whilst they still plan to record as solo acts (please see Crime & Consequences and the eagerly awaited the Dash CD by CM's Tonic) the baton has been passed to a new generation, with Everyday Process being one of the first out the block. The outstanding track, and the reason I purchased this joint, is 'Grace' which could be the anthem of my life. This has a lovely lullaby feel to it.
It's a shame artist of their caliber are not in heavy rotation somewhere. Lord give us the wisdom and boldness to win the lost for You. I would put these two against any secular artisit out and they would annihilate them. The hip-hop culture today is so impressed with the world they don't see the freedoms and life that's available through the Lord Jesus Christ.
