REVIEW:

Jackin' For Hits is basically a bootleg mixtape. A bootleg mixtape is where an artist takes often well-known beats and music and puts his or her own lyrics over them instead of the original. Because the album is bootlegged they are always given out for free and are usually used to promote the artist and encourage listeners to buy an upcoming retail release of theirs.
Christian MCs have been doing this for a while now and there's no shortage of bootleg releases out there. But I can tell you, after listening to hundreds of them this is one of the best (other than No Excuses Vol. 1 by J. Johnson, I'd pay for that album).

Jackin' For Hits seems much more proffesional than other mixtapes similar to it. The audio quality is just about the same as what you would get if you bought a retail album. But not just audio wise, Pro's flow on the mic is on point as well.

Pro has done a great job of changing the secular tracks into positive and God-centered, and often times i found the verses sounding and feeling much better than the originals. This is what makes Jackin' For Hits a great evangelical tool to use on your hip hop-interested friends. The beats will catch peoples ears and get them listening to the new lyrics.
There are some battle raps on the album, as you'd expect, but at the same time they are laced with God-centered lyrics. Several topics are tackled including materialism (Flashing Lights), fame and selling out (Superstar), redemption (The Light), etc.
As you listen through each song you'll see most of them are similarly-themed to the originals but with a positive or God-centered or inspired twist. This makes the message hit home harder as well as sounding professional.

You can pick this up right now for free so there's nothing holding you back. Download, burn hundreds of discs and hand them out to everyone you know and promote this up-and-coming cat. He definitly has what it takes to go all the way and hopefully we see more releases by him in the future.

No More Bootlegging

Due to the outstanding negative reaction I have received about the downloads on this blog, I have decided to stop them permanently, all download links have been removed. I will now only focus on reviews, videos, news, pre-release music in the music player and the occasional legal free download. So please stay tuned to the site for more reviews to come. I've got a lot to catch up on.
