RAYJ
"This Ain't A Game"

Man who is Ray J? That's a stupid ass question to all the Ray J fans from back in the day. But to some of his newer fans he's more of a movie and TV star. Has ray j worked with more talented music people or TV and Movie? Now this is an impressive list of stars to work with as an actor Al Freeman Jr, Phylicia Rashad, Forrest Whitaker, Charles S. Dutton, Cicely Tyson, Jack Nicholson and Sinbad. Also include is his sister Brandi, MVP 2000 Shaq and Steele. The top half of the crew he's worked with is acclaimed actors Oscar winners. In music he's worked with Rodney Jerkins, The Neptune's, Jay Z. I think he has worked with more talented actors than musicians and that's why he is in that will Smith, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Whitney Houston, Brandi category entertainer. Most people do not know this young man as a rapper, singer. His album is banging though so he will be recognized as one. The first release with Lil Kim "Wait A Minute" is blowin up the charts and radio. They must play that song 62 times a day. All the young ladies want to hear it; well hell I want to here to it's nice. Ray J at twenty is stepping into the adult tier no more mister nice guy. Every artist who starts young at one point has to let his audience know he isn't a kid any more. This is Ray J's album to do that. The cute kid with the Brandi's lil brother tag is ready to let ladies 20 to 40 know he's a handsome young man. If ya look good I'll take it. His album exemplifies his break through into adulthood. Man I see that brotha on Moesha and then "The Source Sound Lab" now on MTV, BET and the Disney channel stop. I see him more than I see my girlfriend. Featured on Ray J's album is Lil Kim the soul of sexiness, Shorty Mack and Pharrell Williams. Pharrell Williams of the production geniuses the "Neptune's" spits some lyrics on ë Formal Invite" a hip-hop flavored sex fueled beat that is rawer than raw. Bryson Evan's and Lil Mo writing partners of Missy Elliot produced 'I Tried" a account of a girl who went ballistic.î I Got It" produced by DJ Clue is already in the underground and will reach surface when the label is ready to release it. The album is a good coming out party for Ray J. Call Ray J the entertainer that is what he prefers.

Voices
of Antioch

“In The Mean Time”
SNS Gospel

SNS Gospel has released a top-notch gospel album. The CD is backed with tracks that will definitely help you to
realize where everything began.The second track "We Send the Praise Up" is beautifully produced with the chorus highlighting the spirituality of the track. This track by far is my favorite. The chord change right when you think the song is over culminates the spiritual ride of the song. Another track I really felt was "Oh Magnify The Lord" the lead vocalist Todd Thorne seemed to sing the song through self. His strong vocal delivery carries the track. The Voices Of Antioch stay to traditional gospel rather than sounding R&B\Gospel like artist Mary Mary. One track "Use Me" sways a little but their goal is to reach the traditionalist. They definitely will not disappoint anyone. The CD from top to bottom sounds excellent. Tracks like "Oh How I Love Him" featuring Eileen Lewis are so powerful and rewarding to the ear and the soul. The remix of the hit single In The Mean Time" adds an alternative mix which is also outstanding. I could recommend this album to any who can truly appreciate gospel.
