The LP opens with Bump In Da Night and We In Here, two familiar street bangers made courtesy of the EP released last winter by the tandem. The Martyr's Anthem, dedicated to the late Daniel D-Boy Rodriguez (who was fatally shot in 1991 outside his NY apartment), the East Coast influenced Corey Red solo What's Goin' On? and the hypnotic, Ray Gunz-produced Let There Be Light are three of the stronger tracks enduring the first half of the LP. New Jersey native Todd Bangz shows up behind the boards on Q & A. Behind a congruous piano melody Red & Precise beg If you could stand next to God and ask Him a question; what would it be? (think fast, think fast) And what do you think would be his reply?/Could you handle it, or would your whole wig fry?
The second half of Resistance Iz Futile holds some of the more solid cuts on the LP. Propaganda keeps an end-times theme finding Corey desperately portraying what's to come when Christ returns to earth. The track is laced with sound effects, vocal chops and dramatic strings. Lyrical Biblical turned out to be a simple instrumental given to Jehovah by Red & Precise, who then gave it back to Red & Precise and said tell em what I told ya'. Resistance Iz Futile tails off with four of the strongest cuts on the album in No Grey Lines (a re-done version of the same track featured on the Fashion Expo Compilation LP), the story of Jesus' death (Gethsemane), Scattered Sheep and the eerie title track finale.

It would be too easy to compare this duo to Redman & Method Man. After all, both duos have an amazing street vibe and a lyrical intensity second to none. Yet, Red & Precise's flow is laced by the Holy Spirit, and their lyrics bear witness to this.
The leadoff track, titled "
Bump In Da Night", gives outstanding insight into the potential of the duo. The vibe is straight East Coast and scratches that musical itch to nod your head to a gritty street track.
"The Martyr's Anthem" has Todd Bangz taking production duties. He does a fantastic job in support, as Red & Precise stress the 
importance of maximizing every moment of life and reflecting Christ with every decision in life. Bangz also adds his pro
duction to "Lyrical Biblical". The result? Another hit.
The hit producers keep coming as Maji from The Yuinon lends his influence to "No Grey Lines" and "Propaganda". Lee Jerkins of the RockSoul family handles production for "What's Goin' On" along with "The Passion". "Da Matrix Joint" appears on this project after its initial appearance on the RockSoul Urban Compositions project, where it was titled "Wild Style". Again, the partnership with RockSoul and Red & Precise is as successful as peanut butter and jelly —it just flows!
Now, we know that producers don't show up if artists don't deliver. Well, believe all of the hype because Corey Red & Precise bring nothing but heat to their debut. "Q & A" is
seemingly the sequel to Jadakiss' recent hit "Why?". The difference here is that Red & Precise challenge listeners to think of what one question they would possibly ask God if given the opportunity. The questions posed are mind boggling and the proposed answers are interesting.
"Gethsemane" begins with a classical feel, but soon morphs into a bumpin' track featuring that infectious beat found on the Mary J. Blige classic "Real Love". And lyrically, this is hip hop's equal to The Passion of The Christ movie. It's a descriptive piece that describes Christ's experience in the Garden of Gethsemane and brings continued life to this crucial moment in history.
Over all this is a dope album! if you are a true fan of christian hip hop, you need to own this!
