 The Compilation Album Tedashii brings the heat on "In Ya Hood", passionately spitting the salvation message in a style that the hardest heads in the hood can understand. Trip Lee brings that Southern drawl to the hook.  Lecrae knows how to bring street credible joints on his albums, giving people something to chant amongst friends. "Fanatics" is the one for this album, with that driving beat, synth loops, and the catchy chorus in the style of "Represent".Sho hooks up with beat maker Tony Stone on "Stand, Walk and Dance", an uptempo East Coast-flavored jam that encourages fellowship and having a good time. For those who like to dance, "Breathe In, Breathe Out" is the perfect song, with Lecrae singing and rapping in a manner similar that which has made Nelly so popular. The club beat is commercial, but it is intoxicating. At the end of the song, Lecrae issues a command to do some new 'holy' dances instead of the types of 'raunchy' that people often associate with these types of beats. St. Louis is well-represented on this compilation. This’l brings his gritty style on "Church Boys", with JR laying the beat and keeping it simple. Although both hail from the Midwest city, they can certainly bring the heat popular in the dirty South. . J’Son calls out the soldier for Christ on "Hurr They Come", making you want to put your fist in the air and bob your head. R&P is joined with hip hop on "Love", wih Lecrae again showing his knack in spitting over any beat —which he does while talking about the love of Jesus. He brings in a quartet of crooners to sing the hook, making it the best song on the album. The awe of Jesus is expressed again on "Impressed", with Tedashii taking up emcee on this head-nodder. Sho and Baraka bring the worship on "I See the Lord". Ray sings the chorus, borrowed from the popular worship song of the same name. Tedashii and Lecrae together is a good thing —two emcees that bring an abundance of heat. Like on the crunky "Streets", with extra versing from BJ. Tedashii also shows his dopeness on the bass heavy "Kingdom People". 116 Clique is a force to be reckoned with. Support the ministry. Cop the album, and this album will get you open.
