116 Clique - Amped

In 1986 Run DMC and Aerosmith released a track that was groundbreaking. The track Walk This Way was one of the first tracks in which rock and hip hop were combined. Now more then 20 years later 116 Clique releases an album that combines the two styles of music. The EP is a 6 track cd with rock remixes of  a few songs of the members of 116 Clique. The album starts with Send Me and Represent by Lecrae. A cool beginning of the EP. Beyond Belief is a great radiotrack by Lecrae with vocals by  Joseph Prielozny and Mckendree Augustas. A song about losing your life and giving it to Christ. The best track on the album is the two track combo Cash Or Christ and Fanatics. I love the originals and some people may not agree with me, but this remix is hot! Also the way Fanatics start it's crazy! The combination of the lyrics is perfect. They fit well together. You can't take cash and all the stuff with you to heaven. Life in Christ has eternal value. Fanatics is about chosing for Christ and living your life for christ completely. The other track that were remixed on the album are Red Revolution by Sho Baraka&Tedashi, No more by Tedashi and Amped by Trip Lee. Amped is a groundbreaking EP that shows us the skills of Reach records 116 Clique. They can do hip hop or rock. It doesn't matter. They can spit over any kind of beat or style of music and still sound good.

This album gets 4 out of 5 stars.
