The Christian hip-hop/rap scene often has been described as a hive for upstarts and label-seeking artists, and not as an authentic venue for Christian musicians to spread the gospel. Cross Movement, with their debut album, Heaven's Mentality, shatters that stereotype with high quality music and highly evangelical lyrical content.
Heaven's Mentality offers Christian hip-hop/rap fans a blend of high-quality, low resonating bass and insightful lyrics that will have many car trunks thumping and rear windows rattling. For fans starving for quality music and a change in lyrics, this album is an oasis in a desert. Heaven's Mentality does not shy away from sensitive topics such as salvation and gangsta life; but pounds on them with measure after measure of heart-sinking bass. The album's lyrics aim primarily at focusing the listener away from the self and toward God. In "Blood Spilla" and "Shock," they speak about Christ as that bridge back to God. Cross Movement holds no reservations when speaking about salvation through Christ alone.
Heaven's Mentality is a good album from a new name in Christian hip-hop/rap. Keep your eye on them for future projects as they continue to leave their mark on this genre.
