Christian hip hop artist, Roman Tilus, is one of the hardest working musician evangelists that I've had the privilege of featuring on this site. Every time I get on the Internet, I see him posting videos, rapping for Jesus somewhere in his home town or getting kudos from other members in the Body of Christ. Therefore, it is my pleasure to review and promote his latest album drop, Deviant.
This four song collection starts out with the track, Blessings, and deals with a theme every red blooded American male struggles with--the battle between the Spirit and the flesh when human love comes knocking at the door:
Do you know we're sinners cause your body is a blessing?
The singer has a dream and a mission for God and he doesn't want to get tripped up and caught in the sin of fornication so he proposes that he and the girl elope. The added harmonies by singer, JXSTVY, makes this a grooving melody laid over an easy beat for your listening pleasure.
The next song, Tetris, begins with a direct address to the Holy Trinity and thanks him for direction and focus in life. Calling the Lord a spiritual 'chiropractor' in one verse is the kind of imagery that I really like and the entire track has a kind of mellow freestyle feel to it which I also appreciate.
Roman teams up with singer, Big Breeze, on the third track, Impact, and creates a soul stirring harmony of praise and wonder with lyrics that describe the spiritual transformation of conversion from darkness to light in the believer's life:
God is so high I can touch the sky...
Always keep a Bible by my side...
The song describes it but you have to have lived it to really catch the beauty of the Lord's impact in your life.
Finally, the last track Goat, is signature Roman at his best and is a song about sincere Christians, those who don't treat the faith 'like a joke' but realize that we are sinners and it is only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that we are made sheep in his flock and with Him leading the pack, you have to agree with Mr. Tilus that we are indeed 'going somewhere now' and to a much better place.
