"A few months ago I acutally had a chance to meet Knine at the taping of "Mix Master's Lounge" a new Holy hip hop variety show currently airing on INSP cable station. He definitely loves the Lord with his shining and most humble Spirit. This project is the best I've ever heard, from the lyrics to the beats. This was definitely needed for ALL!"

"I am a true fan of hip hop,well music period and i kno how hard it is to find music worth ur money and time i brought common thinkin it was gonna be the c.d of the year i was wrong earlyr this year i brought eminem hopeing for lyrical prowles i got nothin so i brought 50 cent....nothin so i retreated from the main stream to come across knine i was skeptical at first but after the first track i realized knine came to play althou this is christen hip hop it has mass appeal wit banggin beats and a honest flow and lyrics to brake ya rewind button.the thing thats appealing about knine is he has a leader quality with out laughable "gangster" hooks or endless refence to riches and things young men kill themselves for but at the same time he never claimed to be perfect not once threw the c.d knine from what i can tell knine takes music as seriously as i do and to me that sounds like garunteed hot music for the future"

"First of all I'm not really a religious guy and dont listen to gospel music but one day I got an email from a friend saying a guy is giving away a free mixtape just send him your address so I did!! And what came in the mail was easily the best mixtape I've EVER heard and I've heard alot of them!!!!! This dude lyrically a MONSTER easily one of the best rappers ALIVE!! and all through this mixtape he's plugging his album "Born Again...Aug 23rd, Born Again ...Aug 23rd" at least 50 times so when Aug 23rd came I was brainwashed and bought it and if one word could describe it it would have to be AMAZING!!!







First of all there are 17 songs on this cd which could either be a good thing or a bad thing fortunatly in this case it a good thing.





The first song Bout Time sets the stage for what this dude is all about being unique and different he spits silky smooth while the hook is rough as sandpaper this joint was crazy.



Brought Me From is kinda like a autobiography of his childhood growing up in a dopehouse he paints pictures with his lyrics that would make Van Gough proud, you feel like you are right there with him, the track sounds like something out of a movie ...SICK



Dime was a song that really stuck out to me I could relate to it not really on a spiritual level but it basically talks about making the same mistakes over and over again something I do alot :(



It dont matter...If youve ever seen the movie Passion of Christ this is the closest thing you'll get to it in song form he talks about the dying and death and how he doesnt fear it because he knows what lies ahead for him it makes you think a line from here that stuck out was:



Take me to the highest oak tree

In the entire country



on my neck put the noose

and when it snaps dont cut me loose



leave me up there and spread the word

let my dead body feed the birds



ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!



His voice is very unique its not deep not high but a nice balance and makes you want to listen.



Like I said there are 17 songs on here I cant review them all but my favorites are:





Automatic - club banger material



Switch - club banger material



I Dont Love You - a HILARIOUS song featuring Satan himself classic!!



These Eyes- this joint can make you cry its so vivid and touching yet raw and grimey



Dear Cuz- a letter to his cousin in jail telling him how he's changed you GOTTA hear this for yourself!!



Better Place -My Son LOVES this song I guess because it features kids on it (I must admit its kinda catchy after the 4th time hearing it)





BUT



The icing on the cake has to be In My Shoes it has a dude doing poetry and then when Knine comes on if you dont get chills by the time he's done check your pulse please.



This is the BEST album I've heard this year and I have them all pretty much, I'm thinking Kanye will soon join him or maybe pass him next week but it wont be easy. The cd has christian themes yet it feels like you are listening to something RAW and STREET at the same time and he does it with no cussin AT ALL which meant my son could listen to it in the car with me, I love this album its was a very pleasant surprise its a MUST for every hip hop collection!!"
