| | Review: | Reg N.I.C.E. of God'z Original Gangstaz dubbed Gina Brown
"the gospel hip-hop diva". This accolade is not
surprising, as Ms. Brown contributed considerably in the
G.O.G.z' debut release which was out last summer. And the
same smooth vocal quality that made songs like "No
Compromise" and "A Day N Tha Life" so lovely back in '96
is back again, this time with her own release.
This album applies a very simple
formula. Mellow R&B chords with slow-groovin' jeep beats
and silky vocals combine to make some nice music. Gina Brown
(not to be confused with the Gina that released "Eternity"
on N*Soul Records) has a voice reminiscent of the velvety
stylings of Kristle Murden or Deniece Williams. The hip-hop
arrangements come courtesy of LA "J" Edmonds and Juan
"The Doctor" Tyus, who also did some production work on
the Grapetree jazz release "Another Way to Praise".
I like to take my time when I'm listening to demo copies of
new albums, but when I heard the song "Seek His Face"
(track #8 on the CD) I was sold. That song is tha bump. The
beat itself is so lovely, and then the backup flows by
Preach DOG and Reg NICE just contribute and make the song
that much more funkdafied. That was the kicker. Generally I
don't buy a CD for one song, and I'm by no means saying
that "Seek His Face" is the only good song on the album.
But frankly, I would have paid $15 for just that one song,
because I know I'll be getting my mileage out of it. And so
will you. | | source: Jelani N. G. Greenidge, Christian Hip Hop Zone, added: Feb 24, 2005 |  |
