Over some mainly East Coast breaks and rollers, Kre8tor and Buck Barnabas bring some challenging thoughts about the Christian community in the lead track "Church", especially calling out religion and fakers in the Church, as "I'm On It" does equally powerfully. "H.O.O.D" (Hand Of Our Deliverer) is a clever piece of lyrical meat, comparing the Hood and the Hand of God in their life, so people see Christ in them. Another standout track sees the excellent Sean Slaughter guesting and bringing his usual smooth militant flow in "Hostile Takeover", rapping "God's Word tighter than a onesey" alongside Buck and Kre8tor. "It Is What It Is" sees a more southern flow and beat with a testimonial roller. In "Keep It Going", as Kre8tor brings encouragement to women stuck in some hard situations. In "MOG" (Man Of God), we journey over the lyrics of Buck Barnabas, Ric Flo and Kre8tor as they seek to serve God till they 'D.I.E' - something all of us guys aspire too - with "Jesus is my lifeline, MOG til the day I see the light shine."
