Outstanding Biblical project from the popular US rapper. Each of us is writing a book. The question is: how does your life read? |
|
Reviewed by Steve Hayes "If the Bible was re-written and the writers put me in it, I wonder how my life would read. . ." Right from the off we find Biblical truth written large over the project, starting with the uplifting and banging track "Who Am I?". In the Christian world where ministry often wrongly outranks family, Da Truth rips, ". . .would they say that my commitment to the ministry was strong, but that I never spent time with my wife?" Amen. Challenging is another adjective to describe the album. "Man Up" looks at the problems men face in and outside of the church, a call back to real Godly manhood. So many tracks with so many fresh, live-sounding big beats work powerfully on tracks like "Star Struck" and "Click" while there is a bass drum heavy roller "Why I Do". Interludes describe Da Truth's life story, ending with, "I want to leave a legacy of righteousness, Godliness, so that when people read my life, they may know that Jesus Christ is Lord." Talking of variation - a touch of R&B is added with the vocals of Tia Pitman with "Every Day" and the deeply beautiful "Rose" about his wife. A nice touch is the Rhodes key 4/4 kick beat and soul filled "That Great Day" - a banger with a determination to honour Christ alone. In "I Need You" we have an Usher style track (sorry!) but it works big time! Da Truth rolls, combining smooth flows with clear lyrics. Quality. More from Da'T.R.U.T.H.See all...
