Propaganda - Excellent

 Christian Hip Hop has never been more relevant and accessible. Lecrae and Trip Lee are making hip-hop that is as good, if not better than anything you'll here on the radio. And Humble Beast is taking care of the experimental and underground side.

Propaganda states in the opening track that he's heavily influenced by folk music and has found creative freedom in poetry and that combo isn't always present but it gives you a good idea of what Propaganda is going to deliver. After a solid opening spoken word piece, the title track kicks in. It's a simple beat with no hook but the rhymes are strong. Redefine Cutter brings in the hook with a bluesy flair. Precious Puritans is a strong, hard hitting spoken word piece with tons of meaning. The accompaniment is a simple drum track and a cello which makes more a great underscoring. Lofty features Joel from Ascend the Hill and has a great worship quality.

Beautiful Eulogy's production is perfect and it has a similar vibe to Satellite Kite but more of a straight hip-hop record. Excellent is just that, Excellent.
