anyways, i probably should have mentioned this, but i listened to your mixtape a few times through. the only thing i felt could have used improvement were that some of the features were kind of lacking (you are far better than anyone featured on your mixtape) and it could have used better beats. i know for a fact that we have at least 3 producers on here that would be willing to give you free beats that are better than 50% of the beats on your mixtape. if i have anything you like just let me know and i'll be more than willing, though i'm pretty experimental. i know you don't have money to spend but if you muster up some cash my man Mnemonic is one of the best producers in the west. he starts at about $50 though and usually does package deals.

additionally, i personally could care less because i know what the intention is, but for the average listener you may have a few too many shout outs to God/religion. it's cool here and there, especially if you believe in it so strongly, but it becomes a recurring theme in your music. i am of the impression that you want to be seen as the "typical cat who just happens to be Christian and doesn't cuss" and you aren't creating that for yourself with the abundance of religious references. i, however, don't mind it. that is entirely up to what persona you are creating. are you more for coexistence or pushing God's message? that is your choice to make.

I think what ur doing is great, it comes from ur heart and u trying to spread a good message..I thought that was the reason everyone would do it, it does get things off ur chest and most important to spread ur message, whatever that message maybe, thats the message u want to spread so dont give up on that.. thats what hip hop is all about..I dont think you should get discouraged, u just have to find the right audience, there are plenty of people that listen to christian hip hop. There are plenty of people that love and want to hear more christian hip hop and people in the christian communities especially parents that would rether their kids listen to that than that crap on the radio. I also agree with erik to change it up if u want a larger audience at times..its good that u are just expressing what u belive and stand up for and to me thats what hip hop is all about even if some dont like ur message, there is always someone listening, so u keep being u
