I was hesitant to post this album when I was trying to find something seasonal, as I usually think of Christian Rap as pretty lame. That said, I wanted to do these threads to try new stuff (and get other people to do the same) so I figured why not.
That said, this is very much Christian Rap. With the first song sporting a hook of
It's Christmas time, relax your mind and unwind, yeah
Full of peace, full of joy, I'll tell you why, yeah (2X)
It's Jesus Christ, yeah
I was pretty sure I had made a mistake. That said, it honestly kind of grew on me. Came Down is good with something a little soulful on the hook. Then I got to the middle of the album and hit Wisemen. This song goes hard as fuck and I do not care that it is basically a religious story.This is some solid, upper tier, story telling and the beat sounds amazing in my car. Kings Speech was another highlight to me, though the beat was a little overdone? Or maybe the mix was weird, I don't know exactly what it is but something is slightly off that stops it from being on the level of *Came Down *and Wisemen
Overall, I will probably never listen to this again, but I didn't hate it. Except Wisemen, which I've actually added to my favorites list on Spotify, until Christmas is over.
