This album explodes with energy. "Wheeewwwww!!!" drops a massive booming Tony Stone beat over a shout out to the goodness of Christ Jesus - always providing and taking care of us. This a theme also taken up "Okhay", with K-Drama lacing Proverbs 3.5-6 and Matthew 6, about committing our ways to God, over a slow grooving beat and catchy hook. With another piece of Tony Stone freshness, we have "At 7" with K-Drama telling us about struggling to catch a flight, with God saying to him that "everything will be OK." Some tracks call out, encourage and challenge Christians, such as the bass heavy "Teeter Totter" looking at wishy-washy Christians. In "Waste Of Time", K-Drama confronts the pointlessness of Christian dating as opposed to going out, with marriage as a goal. The artist also drops tracks where he speaks honestly, openly and personally, such as "In Trouble With The Law" and the smooth and funky "Moving On" where he talks about his life as he became a man (very similar to "All That I Got Is You" by Ghostface Killah). We end with the downtempo "Let's Luv Em" as K-Drama suggests we love people into the Kingdom of God, not tolerating sin, but bringing the Biblical understanding of love. A faith-filled, Bible-filled album of fresh creativity
