Raw Material Artist: Mars ILL Label: Uprok Records Length: 19 tracks Hip-Hop seems like it's finally starting to be accepted in the "Christian" market with the recent and near future releases from several hip-hop acts. Mars ILL is one of those bands that makes you happy that its finally being accepted. This release combines what is right about hip-hop; smooth lyrical flow, nice DJ work, and brilliant wordplay; to make an album that is pleasing to the hip-hop heads. The album opens with a combination song and shout out compilation from Mars ILL and a variety of fellow MCs and DJs. The second track, "Sphere of Hip-Hop Pt. 2" is a great track that goes through what the true hip-hop community as a whole. "Love's Not" dismisses the traditional interpretation of love portrayed in pop songs but brings it back to the core that God created. The track calls the listener back to a true definition of love through saying not what love is, but rather what love is not. The disc features many of the traditional hip-hop standards; shout outs, instrumental break downs, some scratching and fine lyrical flow. The album is a fine introduction to a crew that deserves a listen or two |
