Nevetheless, I went to school with Sho so i downloaded it from Rhapsody. Wow, is all i have to say. the lyrics are so inspiring, provocative, and biblically sound. I would give it a 4/5 just because of the lyrics. Alas, in not in the biz. Amazing nonetheless! - T Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:51:39 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/658/112/#comment-3099 This album is probably one of the best holy hip hop albums ever. First of all who rates an album by the mixing quality? This album is very focused and stays to the point. It's all about turning our lives up as Christians and having more volume for God. Sho is one the best lyricists out there, period. He presents original concepts, creative punchlines, and solid word play throughout the album. At times he may stumble a little with finding his style on the rare occasion, but that's a part of growth. The most important aspect of the album is the you could feel that God was leading him somewhere and it was to our benefit to listen and follow. That's my 2cents anyway. Peace - Country L.A.C.

The think we have to relize is that sho is still trying to find his sound, but I bet the next album is a 4.5 or 5. 116 is going to make Sho a monster, he just needs more time, but his flow is special. - Bryce B Tue, 22 Jul 2008 14:57:18 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/658/112/#comment-2341 After hearing Sho on Lecrae's 2nd album on the track "It's Your World" I really like his style. I heard some of his other stuff on 116 Compliations some time after. But before that what really struck me was hearing "Higher Love". The lyrical construction was solid and the beat was tight. Not to long after I go the album and I am satisfied with my purchase. He's got a lot of brass on the album (I guess he purposely did it to be in line with the theme of the album.) The theme of the album encourages introspection and the consideration of Christian fellowship. I can't wait for this due to drop another album. - destinycreature Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:23:24 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/658/112/#comment-2103 Sounds like some bitter fans. Probably why this guy is doing reviews and you aren't. Plus, T-Bone's mixing is top notch, so to compare the too would be foolish on your part. Listen to your CD and enjoy it, but don't criticize this guy's review because he was honest. - Cowboy Sun, 17 Feb 2008 02:55:30 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/658/112/#comment-2044 This album was my first itunes purchase, and I couldn't be happier. Solid biblically driven lyrics, dope beats, its just pure "buttery hotness'. Notable tracks for me include: Catch me At the Brook-Lecrae joins in on this one, this song is just contagious porlly hottest song on the album Maranatha-Json and Tedashii bring the heat on this one, hot banger 100-Reminder to always keep it 100 for the lord, nice "100" movie guy sample Higher love-Sho talks about being in love with a man(Jesus of course) Oh My Lord-Something to get the chu'ch jumping - Ethicsz Wed, 30 Jan 2008 19:33:46 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/658/112/#comment-2030 As a holy hip hop artist myself, I found Sho Baraka's production overall extremely tight! The project is musically exciting and spiritually inviting! Needlessto say I loved it! This brother has the ability to reach the masses, as well as artists like Lecrae. I say, when there are legitimate concerns with quality of production or biblical content - go for it. Otherwise, let the Holy Spirit flow through the music to the people who need it most(all of us!) and let's not get hung up on mere technicalities - we have a higher calling. God Bless! - chelle' flakes-buford Sun, 27 Jan 2008 11:07:02 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/658/112/#comment-2028 Good comment man...I agree. I don't know how he can give it a 3.5/5. Uhh..lets compare these lyrics to the other artists' lyrics, you can definately tell what Seems to be more bible inspired.. - MJ Sat, 26 Jan 2008 13:11:38 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/658/112/#comment-2017 the overall cd, in comparison to the other cds reviewed near it, is FAR superior. it is not a 5/5 album, but it's certainly not a 3.5/5 either. all i know is that nothing done by tbone can touch this, and his review got a 5/5. inconsistency. if you have interest in an original sound, check this out or just cop it. maranatha is a real banger with smooth flows by sho, fast and luda-sounding flows from tdot, and a nice finish by json. great day II die is way kickback, and has a refreshing and original reggae sound. catch me at the brook is probably the best track. sho is good on it for sure, but lecrae has some of the most wicked flows i've ever heard in all of HHH. the cd is worth copping for this track. slow it down is kind of uncomfortable. sho rhymes to the beat and sounds good, but trip lee sounds a little out of his norm. it either grows on you or grows away from you. 100- i hated it at first, but now i think i love it. good and weird production. creative lines that leave you thinking "did he just say that?" overall, excellent production, a couple huge standout tracks that make you excuse the weaker ones, and a must to a developed music collection. hope this helps, since the original review seems biased for some reason. - sco Wed, 23 Jan 2008 19:47:44 +0100 http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/content/view/658/112/#comment-1988 I thought this was a great CD......I'm not too familiar with mixing, so I'm not sure if I could tell what the review is talking about so I'd have give the CD a 4.5/5, for anyone that isn't too familiar with mixing either, a little higher than the 3.5/5 review rated it.....Good review also, I agree with pretty much everything it said. - Judeus Wed, 16 Jan 2008 08:53:26 +0100
