East Coast hardcore rap artist KJ-52 assumes the role of cool ringmaster over a myriad of coconspirators as he deftly deals sleek pop hooks, funky dance beats, and sharp-witted streetwise wordplay on Collaborations. As the title implies, KJ-52 teams with various mixers, melding humor and aggression with musical and lyrical analogies that are entertaining and heartfelt. "5th Element," which details the five essential components of hip-hop from the first-person perspective of a shell-toe Adidas, a microphone, a turntable, and a spray can, is ingenious and infectious. An a cappella diatribe, "Industry" takes dead aim at the conflicts between art and commerce, pointing fingers at fellow rappers and record company executives with equal venom. "ABC's and 1, 2, 3's" evokes the amiable nature of television/film superstar Will Smith with a series tongue-in-cheek lessons in life. "Where Were You" is the pure late-'60s sound of Motown via lush harmonies, slick choruses, and serious social and interpersonal consciousness. And "Dear Slim" is a nifty "Stan"-type open letter to bad-boy brother in arms Eminem. Collaborations reaches out to a wide audience with confidence and conviction. ~ Tom Semioli

why do they try?
why do the record labels even try to push this so hard? white rap like this (and tobymac) is good for being obscure on small labels but not on the frontburner. this genre died with limp bizkit (although this rap is different) and it can't be resurrected.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No This Album Knocks!!!
I heard a few of his cuts on the internet, and within a week or two I was convinced enough to purchase the album. From the few Christian hip hop artists I've heard, he's definately one of the best. His production is consistent, and compliments his flow. Highlights include: 1) the song regarding eminem 2) 47 emcees 3) sonshine and 4) A, B, C's to name a few. He's very gifted lyrically, and his delivery and content comes out in a way that lets listeners know that God has chosen for him to do this. This album is more than a quality Christian hip-hop album...It's an essential pick up for anyone who appreciates hip hop in its true form

Recorded at Lab East, Franklin, Tennessee; Filament, Cape Coral, Florida and Beach Lab South Studios, St. Petersburg, Florida.
"Now y'all be messin' up my name/It's not '52'/It don't stand for 'King James'." On his third full-length, Godorific rapper KJ-52 wants everyone to know where he comes from, and who it's all for. The 'K' stands for 'knowledge', and the 'J' 'justification' (like Romans 10:9, yo!), while '5' is the loaves and '2' is the fishes. Looks like there are even some haters in the Christian rap game. But KJ can't stay mad at anyone -- Christian, secular, or otherwise. "Whoop Whoop" rocks a stuttering PG-rated Dirty South rhythm under raps about bustin' mad prayers all night, while "Rock On" (featuring Pillar's Rob Beckley) turns up the amps and demands to see heads-a-noddin' on the ...

Disciple: Kevin Young (vocals); Brad Noah (guitars); Joey Fife (bass guitar); Tim Barrett (drums).
After a decade of self-produced indie efforts, Christian Metal quartet Disciple made their major-label debut in 2005. A year later, Kevin Young, Brad Noah, Joey Fife, and Tim Barrett returned with a heavier sound and more aggressive screamo-styled approach for the follow-up, SCARS REMAIN. As befitting a devout band, however, Disciple also shows a softer side on the acoustic ballads "No End At All" ...
