Believin Stephen - "The Perseverance" Free Mixtape Download (2009)

"One thing that is going to stand out about this mixtape compared to others is that it is not just a bunch of random verses or remixes. There will be a handful of full songs on the mixtape with actual concepts, hooks, etc. This is actually going to be more like a free album! The beats have a gritty underground vibe to them as well as some good soul to them. I think that fans who enjoy Christ centered lyricism expressed in creative and practical ways will be likely to be feeling the songs. I am confident that the material on The Perseverance Mixtape is going to be my best material that has been released. There will be 19 songs on the mixtape with plenty of guest features including the likes of J.Johnson, Azriel, Young Joshua, and E-Pistle and many more! There are some rowdy punchline heavy songs as well as plenty of songs from the heart on here. There are songs encouraging fellow believers to persevere in the faith and there are songs written to the unbeliever to express to them their great need to receive God's love. There are songs about persevering through difficult times as a Christian and there are worshipful songs that exult the Lord for his goodness to us in those difficult times."

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.
