I'm a huge fan of Heroes For Sale.
The intro to Superhuman throws me off a little. It doesn't give away where the record is going, or the track for that matter, right off the bat. Some light strings and middle eastern influenced singing. It's nice but it took me by surprise. And then Mineo's rhymes kick in. It's a nice musical journey with a couple of twists that make it a solid song and sets up the record nicely. I love Mineo's line "I don't have to be great because my God is."
Ex Nihilo features a great hook from Christon Gray. Ayo is a great hype song. It's the album's first single for a reason. It took a couple listens to grow on me but the hook is infectious. The Saints is a fantastic hip-hop anthem. Bitter hits hard as Mineo's honest lyrics take heart with the listener.
Fans of Lecrae and Trip Lee will love Heroes For Sale. Mineo is another new emcee helping make christian hip-hop relevant and great. Heroes For Sale is not an album for hip-hop fans to miss.
