Prophecy is a rapper based in Zimbabwe. The music is classically West Coast rap with the gospel message at its core. The rapping style is highly reminiscent of (an angry) Jay Z which some may struggle with. To make matters worse the album offers no breaks in the straight out bleakness of the style of music. A couple of tracks with a lighter tone or dance orientated direction would make the product a much more desirable option to own. There is always the risk of the message of Christ seeming quite negative when it's delivered in this mean-streets-to-Jesus gangsta-style approach. But if you can resist the urge to feel aggressively morose when listening to some of Prophecy's output you'll find some good stuff here. There are in fact 17 tracks to sink your teeth into and many of them remain credible in respect to the genre they are born from, although at times the rapping and accompaniment are too similar to make a listen straight through desirable.

i actually do have a copy of this album, it's a mad sick album that clearly represents Christ to the fullest. Prophecy is definately the real deal and i would love to see more of his stuff distrubuted worldwide.
