"Jin is a different kind of rapper, (and no I am not saying that because he is Chinese!) Jin Raps about things that actually matter to him rather than rap about getting money and being a gangsta. In Cold Outside, he raps about how he is 'no killer' and how he has 'never committed any crimes'. He is more about his career than having a good time. He has true talent as well. He can take any material and do something fantastic with it. That is a blessing on this CD because you can tell that he is not in full control of his career. Half of this CD is from his heart and the other half is exactly the opposite of what he just said. For example on Love Song he talks about how he treats women well but on Club Song he acts like they are just here for fun. On The Come Thru he acts like he is a 'big thug' with 'lots of cash' while on So Afraid he disses on artists who are only in the rap game to make money and act tough. On So Afraid he raps about how he wont top the charts and how his songs are never on the radio while on Get Your Handz Off he talks about 'selling a couple million'. Although he can't seem to make up his mind for the whole album, he still makes the most of the material and the results are outstanding. But don't worry! Most artists who rap from the heart can have a tendency to forget about beats along the way. But Jin never does. He has a lot of great beats on this CD. My personal favorite song is Get Your Handz Off. He has a lot of star quality in him. Hopefully he will be around for a long time."
