| | Review: | North Philly's own Rob Hodge drops a little taste of what
to expect when "Born King" hits stores later this year.
Rob Hodge has a "...did he just say that?" type of
approach when he spits and a mentality of changing the rap
game is present within this 24 track, over 76 minute
classic. Rob Hodge as you know is founder and CEO of
Wiseman, Inc. I was first introduced "musically" to Rob
Hodge with the "Wisemen Inc. present...The official jump
off" CD in 2002. The only thing that has changed since
then, is the beats. The style and the vision is still the
same.
The first song is track 2 called "Gladiator" in which Rob
in his first verse gives a brief testimony of how he was
lost before he came to the cross and how is now representing
the cross for God proclaiming "I'm a gladiator." In
second verse, Rob shares who he is aiming for with his
music. This song is a good intro of Rob because at the end
of "Gladiator", Rob says "My life, my struggle, my pain,
His gain." That right there paves the way for the rest of
the album because you can feel this brothers passion in this
CD.
I really enjoyed "I know" feat.Gwen Stefani. I know what
your thinking..."a Gwen Stefani sample on a hip hop
album!" "That's an oxymoron!" Actually this song comes
out beautifully produced by Saint Man. Rob Hodge didn't
hold back in this song. He talks about knowing what people
go through in life. "Dead or Alive" is a club banger
produced by Energy for Wiseman Inc. The song is about how
his enemies want him to fail in his Christian walk. Rob has
a response to them telling them who he trust.
"So Lord, please help your one disciple/They kill with
there tongue like guns and rifles/But I'm never scared,
I'm prepared for what ever/And in You I trust, were gonna
stick together"/
"Rebirth" talks about how Rob had to "switch teams like
Caron and Shaq" to become born again. "Philly's Finest"
feat. T.K. & S.O.G. is also hot one. The collaboration on
this song is like a true Believers anthem of Ja Rule's New
York. "Any Given Sunday" feat. Japhia Life stresses how
life is not promised and giving your life to Christ is
important. Songs like "Pressure", "The Struggle" feat.
T.K., and "Alize" deals with heavy real life issues that
the church is sometimes afraid to address.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of mixtapes. Most of them
seem like "teasers" that DJ's and radio stations truly
enjoy because it's new music to blaze. Sometimes mixtapes
seem to be poorly produced and mixed. This is not the case
with Rob Hodge Vol.1. It's worthy to become a regular in
your 5 disk CD changer!
