Lord Fire is the new project from Theory Hazit and Vintage and is a hip hop showcase. On the first track "Yeah Ya'll" you instantly know that these brothers will give you a vintage sound (pun intended). A great blend of sampled vinyl and boom bap that will reach all across the globe. Theory proclaims that he and Vintage are the new Gangstarr and Reflection Eternal. Wow! Just what hip hop needs, a dose of freshness. Speaking of freshness the next song on this album "Deep Breaths" is just that fresh. This song will make the breakers and lockers break out the cardboard and pumas and get it started. Vintage shows in Deep Breaths his true dj-ing skills lacing the drums with a great sample of japanese flutes and other symphony instrumentals. Check out a couple of bars from this track: 

With the superb word to reverse the curse of the nympho/ now what ya'll info/ I just wanna go home/

Out with a bang decisions. The same formula upgraded updated flipped and full circle/ Hazit and Vintage are the new ozone and turbo/ The Genesis of hip hop being brought to new demesions/ Competition is done there is no honorable mention. 

Let it be known now that Vintage should be named among the elite of producers that can make a pure hip hop album. Tracks like Grizzly, Bounce and Sonrise let us know that he can hold his own. One track stands out as a homerun by Vintage called "Nobody Say". Wherever you go this track can take you there. The added bonus is that this track features Braille and Raphi and they each bring stunning verses. Vintage used elbow grease on this track, he really put in work. 

Lord Fire is laced with awesome beats, memoriable tracks and cameos. 

Overall this is a nearly flawless album if you long for the sound of the golden age of Hip Hop.  If you want an album where you can chant 'Hey' on every song, this is not your album. Theory puts together great life stories which are thought provoking and soul thumping. It makes the album better and better. Vintage and Theory have made one for the record books. God had to give these brothers this heat which in-turn makes Lord's Fire.

While the title track is about the number three, and references several biblical threes, the entire album revolves around it. The album cover featured three pictures of Hazit and the letter "E" in every word, or the first in a word with more than one, is represented by 3. Thematically, the album tackles several sensitive issues from an absentee father to crack babies, and gets as deep as the prophecy of the seven trumpets.

The album kicks off with the upbeat title track, which is a precursor for what the remainder of the album has in store. Things quickly slow down with "Find M3" and is one of the songs to tell the story of Hazit's not so glowing past. The song features a familiar voice in the chorus as B. Reith has a guest spot on what is one of the album's best tracks.

The next track that really stands out is "I N3ed You Mor3 Than 3ver." The song is taken from the point of view of Hazit's young stepdaughter, sung to her birth father. The song talks about how much she needs her father and features a minute and a half long rant from Hazit to the father. Within that rant, Hazit proclaims his love for his daughter, his joy that she calls him daddy now, and refers to himself as a "...come off the bench dad. JV, second string, substitute step-dad." While the compassion and love he shows is moving, the seething comments such as, "One part of me hates you; other part of me is jealous. A small part if me thanks you; your negligence has given me a reason to breathe. I'm a step-father raising a worthless man's daughter..." are a bit concerning. Perhaps it's just an artist being brutally honest about his feelings and struggles with God and his listeners; either way it's hard to judge his intentions.

"Distort3d Joy" is the next standout track. The song starts with what seems to be a documentary on babies whose mothers abused drugs while pregnant. The opening words, "Look what lust has done to us," encompass the major theme of the song. Hazit uses a high-pitched voice, which actually sounds similar to the voice Eminem often uses, as he raps from the point of view of the baby. The song further discusses details of his conception (not vulgar details mind you) and his current health condition. This track is a real revelation for those who do not know much about drug abuse in pregnant women.

The final track that really caught my attention is "Doomsday Insuranc3." The song begins with a man reading Revelation 8:6-11a. Hazit picks up the scripture from there, rapping through chapter 9, verse 6. From there, Hazit warns that the rapture is coming soon and gives a reminder of the importance of telling your friends and loved ones of Christ, warning them "that they could be future Hell residents." While the song's speaker makes a very strong analogy, it's one worth taking note of when he proclaims, "We're denying our Creator. When we were giving the finger to Him, he gave His own Son and His own life for us." The song is powerful and should have you questioning your eternity if you have not been born again in Christ.
