"Storiez, Shai Linne's third CD, and second one of 2008, celebrates the human tradition of story telling, as a vehicle for informing, teaching and warning. This is much lighter in tone to 'The Atonement', but still packs a punch lyrically.
Rick Horne narrates the CD, and whilst this might sound cheesy, for me it works, and adds something to the CD. Highlights include: 'Wake up Your Alive', which a symbolic song about new life for the 'Old Man (our flesh)
'A Simple Love Story', the symbolic nursery rhyme that explains the sin process so that a child can understand, Penelope Judd', As the Hour draws near( very deep, as we look at three people, close to death, one a Christian, who was luke warm in his faith, and fears what awaits on the other side , one who has run the faith of life in obedient, and who looks forward to eternity in Heaven with his Father, and the last who denies the existence of a God. 'Letter from the grave', which takes up from' As the Hour Draws near' from the view of the last person, who now resides in Hell, and his thoughts for his family & friends that still are alive (please see Luke 16:19-31) Martyrs (my favourite track) looks at three people from different times in our history, who have given up their life's for Christ's sake (Please see Luke 9:24-25)
This CD had me going to my Bible, and is an encouragement to my faith, and is the best CD, of this genre, that I have purchased this year

Love this cd!

"I do a prison minstry and have been sending some of the lyrics to my pals behind bars on death row. It is such a great cd that is packed full of some great Bible truths!"
Awesome!

"Shai Linne glorifies God in his albums and there is not a Christian rapper who comes within miles of his talent and Bible knowledge. Shai's greatest songs are;
1)Greatest Story Ever told 2)My Portion 3)Solus Christus 4) High Priest 5)Alone 6)Testify 7)Memoirs 8)Jesus is Alive 9)The Cross 10)Were You There? 11)In Adam All Die 12)Through My Eyes 13)Atonement Q&A 14)Gospel Music 15)Slow Down
As you can see Shai has many great biblically accurate and God glorifying songs. I have been blessed by his music and if you don't think a Christian rapper can glorify God you need to listen to his song "In Adam All Die," there is more biblical truth in that one song than an average 30 minute protestant Sunday Sermon.
Trust me, you will be blessed by his talent which he glorifies God with and his songs sound like no other Christian rapper out there. Shai's song "Greatest Story Ever Told" is one of the greatest songs created in the last 50 years! That is not an exaggeration, that song is one of a kind and every single Christian should own a copy of it along with, "In Adam All Die."
If you are too religious to listen to a God glorifying Christian "Rapper" you have other issues that you need seek God's face about. Spend $.99 and buy an mp3 copy of "Greatest Story Ever Told" at Amazon and see if I am telling you the truth."
