East London's rapper Favour recorded this at his Open-Hope Music Studio. The album brings a varied mix of hip-hop ("End Days" with a slightly epic almost southern instrumental), some vocal heavy tracks (like the worshipful "Time To Pray") and numerous guest appearances from such as Ruth Anne, Elite, MafDotYou and Becca Coburn. Favour really shines over some head nodding, almost boom bap breaks like "Ghetto Angel" and the great "Where We Started" with Soloman Gehazi. However, at times the production and some of the vocals fluctuate in quality. But it finishes with another steady track "Flash Backs" as Favour chooses to bless those in his past, release forgiveness, while looking forward. Wise advice for us all.
