"Put Your Foot Down"
Gospel HipHop
9-Tracks
Release Date- Out Now
Rating- 8.99
by C.W. Ross
This release features a very nice urban sound that is achieved through a mixing of Gospel and HipHop styles of music.
The songs come to life with killer bass beats that will have you stereo speaker's woofers thumping with delight.
Several of the song's lyrics found on the CD have a gritty edge to them. The first track, "Oh Fool" is a good example of this with lyrics that talk about not getting caught up in street thinking of having a gun, girl and convertible car as your claim to fame.
You need to keep your eyes on what's real and what God's plan is for your life by keeping your priorities straight.
The CD is also filled with song's that offer hope for when times are tough and your searching for answers with song titles like: "The Lamb Of God," "Never Give Up, and "My God Wins The Battles."
I'm a Rock 'n' Roller at heart but I kept finding my head bobbing along in rhythm with the song beats.
If you're looking to experience some good urban music then you need to get yourself this release.

Ministers to me continually! Exactly what I need to remember.
My God Wins the Battles reminded me that the battle is the Lord's! Whenever I feel the need to try to do things without him, I play this song and remember to Let Go & Let God! Then, I can hear Him clearly. - Sonya
Phavorite Phytur!
This CD is an Rx for my soul. The hip-hop tracks pave the way for Eretha's spirit-filled voice. I come away thinkin' it's ALL possible. I guess you'd call that....singin'! - Helen
