Birmingham's multi-talented Gap D here brings us another musically varied album. There are housey beats (the soulful and standout "Focused" ftg Natty Joshia), some creative breaks ("That's Christian"), upbeat praise tracks ("Thiz Iz How We Praise" ftg ClearRose) and more laid back numbers ("Come As U R"). Gap D's heart is for communities to be transformed by God and this shines through in the track "No More Part II" as he expresses the need for change away from drugs, guns and deaths to take a stand against the spirit of revenge which destroys. Rap with a raga tint is offered on "Welcome 2 Tha Altar" which features one-time Cross Rhythms broadcaster Spanna ("To live is Christ and to die is gain") and is an uplifting way to end the album.
