This compilation has some great rappers, quality music and enough diversity to cater for most hip-hop tastes. There is a great mix of tracks here, even delving into the underground and Dirty South in order to bring you a great mix of hits. There are a couple of new faces, some old favourites, new styles and even a remix, just to add to the flava. Grits start off the project with a slow mover, and the fantastic live Pettidee brings the heat to start with some good ol' Dirty South business. Mars Ill and LA Symphony bring some deeper lyricism. There are some familiar sounds from John Reuben, TobyMac and a remixed KJ to liven up your day. A couple of a downtempo sounds come from the laid back Japhia Life, a song about love from Verbs and a smoothy from DJ Maj. There are some street sounds from the lively Shonlock, Manafest with a rock styled hook and Liquid with a great jazz funk crossover track. MOC bring a bouncy hype pop-hip-hop track and B Reith ends the CD with a very catchy track laced with humour. If you're looking for a great all-round hip-hop CD gift for yourself, friends or people you work with, this is one of the freshest places to start for an all-round insight into positive and Godly hip-hop.
