ALBUM REVIEW: Lecrea's- "Church Clothes 2"

Whats good whats good?

It's the one and only DJ Kenny Ken-Neva Sin- But Still Sippin Holy Gin on the 1's and 2's! 

Now a week or 2 ago I decided to do an album showcase for first time on Triple O's "Telescopes & White Roses". I received positive feedback from listeners being that fans rarely hear an artist's whole project. Most times we only hear the single and that's it. However most of the times, the songs on the album are way better than the single in my opinion. I have this belief because singles are so commercial driven, while the other songs have more creative room. 

Anyway...I thought to myself...while we are doing album reviews, I mines well cover one of the most anticipated projects of the year. Drumroll: Lecrea's Church Clothes 2!

This 17 track mixtape has a cast full of majors in the game ranging from David Banner, B.o.B, Derek Minor, Andy Mineo and more! Alot of people wondered if CC2 would measure up to CC1, but I can tell you first hand it measures up and beyond!

I would personally give a breakdown of the whole album but unfortunately I feel unqualified because of a recent Sho Braraka quote. I don't remember it word for word, but he basically says, "Artists work months maybe years on a project, and critics listen to it one time and give their opinion." Some may disagree with that statement but as an artist I totally understand.

So on that note I checked a couple other couple of websites to see how they graded the mixtape. In my search I found that  HipHopDx.com reated CC2 with a 4.3 out of 5 saying, "Lecrae's "Church Clothes 2" may lack the inherent complexity and confrontation of its predecessor, but holds appeal for saints and sinners alike."


I also check BET's review on the album and they had nothing but praises for the cross over project saying, "Church Clothes 2 is a solid effort in when-keeping-it-real-goes-holy. Lecrae is lyrically dope and versatile with the tracks, and he can go toe-to-toe with any emcee, classified "Christian rap" or not."

Lastly I checked DJ Wade-O's comments on what he took away from CC2 by saying, "My take away from Church Clothes 2 was less about the record itself and more about what the record represented. This record proved to me the Lecrae is the perfect artist to carry the banner for CHH (whether he’s willing to claim it or not)".
 

In conclusion CC2 appears to be pretty dope. I've only heard it a couple times but so far my favorite is number 13 "Finer Things". This track really spoke to me personally because it's easy to get lost in chasing high paying jobs for the love of money. However I just want the finer things! Also I was excited to hear this track because I haven't heard from Tedashi in a while. So I knew he was going to spit some real knowledge on this song.

 

Other than that I have nothing left to say but stop wasting time and go download it for FREE now!  Hope it blesses you like it has plent others.
