The Cross of Christ 101
Christian hip hop artist Toussaint is back with his second project entitled "The Cross of Christ 101"! Continuing with his motto of "never putting Jesus Christ in the background", this native of Charlotte N.C. returns with 18 new, thought-provoking tracks that is guaranteed to keep listeners on the edge of their seats. From the beginning, Toussaint targets both the older and younger audiences with the "State of The Youth Address" which talks about the depravity of the younger generation and the need for Christ Jesus in this genre of music. From here, listeners are drawn into the gritty, street, gutter, banger entitled "Suffered The Cross". On which Tous trades versus with fellow laborer in the faith E.P.I.C. as they walk us through the need for Christ suffering on our behalf. On the infectious, band driven, "Christ In The Middle" which features Red Letters the Less of The 4th Nail, the message of Christ continues as the issue of Christ being at the very center of everything will blare through your speakers and is guaranteed to have your head bobbing uncontrollably.
The album is filled with d**e tracks and Toussaint's on time delivery and clever punch lines will have your stereo's, tape decks, cd players, and ipods on constant rewind. Like when he spits on the controversial "Open Your Eyes" "this is tooth paste rap/Christ centered.....it's very rare that we pick up plaque/" If your a fan of hip hop this is a must have album! The production is tight and the features brought their "A" game. From the lyrical content, it's easy to tell that Toussaint is out to make Christ name known amongst the nations. As he raps on the worshipful "Sovereign", "What can we give that you don't already own/Your the sovereign eternal God who reigns on the throne/" You can tell that this is a young man who offers His music to the God he serves and sticks to his motto of "never putting Jesus in the background. This is a must have album for anyone who likes banging beats, nice lyrics, and most importantly, Christ glorifying music.
