Game "Jesus Piece" Album Review ? 5 out of 5 stars - ARTISTdirect News


He does so by going back into the heart of the hood with all kinds of big questions in mind. Like any classic gangster flick where the protagonist contemplates faith—Mean Streets comes to mind—Jesus Piece relies on dichotomies. There's some vicious rhyming, illuminating how tight of an MC he truly is, but there are also some incredibly soulful hooks too, meant to stay stuck in your head. Ultimately, tempering bullet-ridden tales and redemptive prayers, Game unleashes his best work to date and a landmark for hip hop.

Ominous production shimmers at the beginning of "Scared Now" as the album's suicide doors open. Game fiercely fires off the verses as the hook "Who the fukk's scared now?" resounds. "Ali Bomaye" pairs up 2 Chainz and Rick Ross with our protagonist, sliding from a tribal beat and soul sample into one of the record's most massive choruses. "I like clubs where all the women working naked," declares 2 Chainz before Game rips, "I'm 'bout to rumble in the jungle"
