R-Swift is a man after God's own heart and this is clear from top track "Stage Fright" where he prays for God's help and God's glory in a world that rarely wants to hear from God. The album is a true hip-hop project, east coast and street in vibe and delivery, with tasty beats and a smooth delivery from one of CMR's most talented artists. "In Session" spits fire over a full break about God the timeless creator who's second to none, "The Floor Is His". A standout and positively infectious track is "Good Morning" as he testifies about God who brought meaning to his life and "turned (his) dark nights into sunshine." R-Swift consistently serves up challenging and hard-hitting lyrics, such as the break-based "Freedom": "..the city is where the mission is and Jesus is where forgiveness is." We see the superficiality of chasing after things in life in the brilliant "Gone", asking, "What do you have when it's gone?" This is a timely message also found in tracks like "Lifetime". Powerful questions are asked in "American Soil" where R-Swift relates "what we sowed in the past is what we're reaping." The album ends with two more great tracks, "Re: Love Letter" and "Me On My Soapbox", re-affirming this is essential listening.
