This cd is hot just like all the others. There does seem to be a cross-over endeavor and this scarres me. Da Truths Crossmovement stuff was hot and had more of an edge because of the beats, hooks, and engineering. A little “rock” is ok (i.e. Lecrae’s rehab tracks Boasting” and “Background”) but I found myself hoping the techno sounding songs of “Da Whole Truth” would stop.
