I am here to review the album by Christon Gray called Clear The Heir
It was released October, 19th, 2018 and it's a release from Fo Yo Soul Recordings.
So a few records that stood out to me that I thought that were great, I thought - Clear The Heir which featured Art Gray, which I believe that was his father, was good. You and I [Simpsons Limitations] featuring J Givens, I thought was awesome. Time out. I thought Time Out, to just be honest with you at first I didn't lik
Hip-hop, at its core, is a competitive genre. There's an unspoken rule that someone has to be on top of the game. To the point where even hip-hop fans look on expectantly. They look on in waiting, hoping to see that one artist will climb the mountain, and try to take the crown for themselves. However, what do you do when you have people who climb that mountain, and instead of taking the crown for themselves, proclaim that only God is worthy of the true crown? Well, you get Beautiful Eulogy, and
I’m going to be 100 percent real with you. This album is not for every Christian. This is next level Hip Hop that will challenge your mind. It’s like reading a book. If you like swagged out trap music you will be disappointed. I’m just being honest. Talented 10th is Sho Baraka’s first full album since he left Reach Records and became an independent artist and I really feel it’s his best work yet!
Let me give you some background. The phrase "talented tenth" was first used in 1896 by Nort
This, the third segment flowing from the camp, is titled Christology - In Laymen’s Terms, and serves as the solo debut from Cross Movement member, the Ambassador(aka William Branch).
The first track (let’s call it an ‘introlude’) sums up the overriding theme of the project, as the Ambassador declares in prayer, “I deliberately focus on your Person, and the work of your Son, Jesus Christ.” He elaborates in a subsequent interlude, “We focus in on Christ, the Person, the work, the pre-existence
...to be widely known is to be widely misunderstood, and that's part of it...
Press into discomfort
From the album's title track, Mineo recites the line "Comfort is a thing that'll make a King fall" and expounds on it by saying: "I think being uncomfortable is a thing nobody really enjoys. Everybody kind of uses that phrase 'I just want to live a comfortable life', but the times when we're uncomfortable are the times when we're being challenged to grow, change and to evolve as people."

A lot of music dropped in 2019. Unfortunately sometimes dope albums fly under the radar. Thi'sl dropped a nice little heat rock, but unfortunately it came out on the same day that somebody named Kanye dropped A very anticipated Album, Jesus is King.
Two of my favorite artist decided to click up and drop one of the best hip hop albums of 2019, and what I feel is the most slept on album of the year. If you are a hip hop head, trust me, one listen and you will be hooked.

Tracklisting:
The first track on the album, “Overexposed” (feat. Sean C. Johnson) starts with two masked men jumping a man at his house. Alex Faith starts with a really cool verse that is highly focused on the vocals with a bit of bass and
Hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana, DJ Maj (aka Mike Allen) has acquired a knack for "spicing" things
In 1992, Maj’s love for music lead him to relocate to Nashville, Tennesse where he composed his self-released mixtape, Sabbatical Transit. As with DJ Maj's first national release on Gotee Records(Wax Museum, see review), his bistro artistically describes the skill of blending a recipe of individual tracks together by ad-libbing cuts, other sound effects, and beats to formulate a seamless, p
Some of you might not know this but there was Christian Hip Hop long before Lecrae and Reach Records! Study your history and learn about the Tunnel Rats. In fact, the Tunnel Rat crew were already OG’s when I got into them around 2001. That’s when Josh (Of Sphereofhiphop.com) was running Uprok Records. I don’t want to get off the subject but that was a good time for Christian Hip Hop. Uprok was sort of like the “Humble Beast” of the time. Pretty much every project they dropped was a must have
The hip hop of today is multi-faceted, with many different artists and a variety of styles.
Mars Ill is a group that captures hip hop in its purest form: honest lyrics, dope beats with guitar, horn and eerie samples together with two turntables.
Dust provides the beats and Manchild, the lyrics, as they explain what they are about on the horn-filled, “Breathe Slow”. That definition is “Aristotle mixed with Krush Groove”.
The always entertaining and zany Pigeon John guests on “Plains and T
Propaganda & Odd Thomas 'Art Ambidextrous'
'Art Ambidextrous' is not for the faint of heart. This album dives in, rushing pass the surface immediately heading towards the deep things of faith and life. Propaganda is a mindless rap listener worst fear. He is an artist who makes music that pulls you in with style and then force feeds you substance. I hope you bring hungry stomachs for songs like "Inheritance." This is a song that paints an amazingly detailed portrait of a heart broken fathe
It’s not too often I find myself wanting to grab a cup of coffee, fit on my best pair of over-the-ear headphones, and begin meditating on a hip-hop album. Beautiful Eulogy—hailing from Portland, Oregon—is back with their third studio album titled Worthy, and the excellence and originality of their art is once again deserving of a close listen.
The hip-hop climate is faddish, and I’ve had trouble sitting with albums past their release weekends. I’ve had about a
