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.

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.
