Each scheduled artist plays at a different time this Saturday. Soulfest is a festival that will stretch throughout the day, featuring three separate shows by Fred Hammond, Tye Tribbett, and Luther Barnes. With fifteen tracks it is impossible not to love one. Yet the great Christian Hip-Hop to mainstream Hip-Hop crossover song is not here. The one thing that detracts the score most from this album is just the fact that it just isn’t great. Yet there isn’t an album out that doesn’t have at least a few whack lines. That being said, in this album he drops a few whack lines. His flow does not seem to be an over analyzed interpretation of past masters. While he is vaguely reminiscent of several people in Hip Hop he isn’t a direct clone of anyone. This bothered me to the point that I just avoided the song, and couldn’t really focus on the lyrics. It is yet another song with featuring a continuous siren and a clap-in my mind two of the most annoying and constants in commercial rap/hip-hop. “Ambulance,” is perhaps the song with the most generic beat on the album. Yet others might hear the same beat and not have a problem with it.
If their is a fault in terms of production some of the beats seem too familiar. Production is actually a strong point in this album. In the past most Christian hip-hop albums I have listened to have failed miserably when it came to beats and general production quality. It is well worth continuous listening, which in my experience is rare for a hip-hop album to achieve. It is very well produced and entertaining. The album does not have many faults as a whole.
