I like his strong voice, his creative execution of lyrics and rhythm .

Ok, I know that this CD is probably considered 'old' but I just found out about it through a Pandora station I created. This CD is simply awesome! Driving yet smooth beats and the best part is that it has SUBSTANCE and you can hear & UNDERSTAND what he is saying and it is the Gospel Message! I consider myself a pretty 'hap'nin' lady (did I just age myself out because I used the word 'hap'nin'?) and felt that my daughter and teen nieces and nephews would really enjoy the sound because it's not that 'old gospel hymn' sound but is catchy, upbeat and urban. It would even be a good addition to a person who likes R&B like John Legend or Digable Planets (well, that's who it made me think of). There was really only one song I couldn't get into; the rest are all head-bobbers for me. This is my first CD of his and I hope it won't be the last. I strongly recommend!

This was another gamble that was worth it! This dude sounds like a cross between Ziggy Marley and Maxi Priest, and some of those notes he hit gave me John Legend. His cd was calming, soothing, and spiritual, all in the same beat. It was different, and I appreciate it! His songs were soulful and had meaning to them. He's a different kind of artist that had to be given a chance, and when you do, you will like what you hear. He is blessed to be in the position to put out such a tremendous offering, and I'm bless to be able to be fortunate to purchase. THANKS MALI!!!!!

I chose 5 stars because this album gave me more than I expected! I didn't believe that this was going to be an album that would glorify God as his past albums have. When I first heard this song "heavy love" I realize that Mally was trying to show the love of Christ to those who would never seek Him. I was so excited to listen to all the songs that he would put on this album. The only song I really don't relate to is "Johnny and Donna", however, this song "walking shoes" blessed me in an entirely new way. It made me where I was in my face as did the song I believe. Very good album!!!

One of the most powerful albums I've heard in 2014! I have always been a fan of Mali Music since "The 2nd Coming." This album, however, took me by surprise based on the content and realness this artist has shared with people while still upholding his faith. I understand the challenges of being labeled as a "Gospel Artist" and concerns people had with the direction of this album. However, you cannot listen to this album and say Yahweh is not present. From "Little Girl" to "Walking Shoes" and "Royalty" to "Beautiful," it's evident that Mali Music is grounded in his Christian faith and is sharing it with the world. I'm very satisfied with this album!

I am close to the owner of DMG Records that Mali was part of. When DMG signed him I was blown away by his gift and creativity. When Akon saw Mali and he left DMG I knew he would finally be on the right path to success. After a few year of silence I see Mali on American Idol as the the guest performing artist... I was so happy that the secret was out the bag for the world to see!
This album had me find somewhere to drive as i listened to it in its entirety.
I look forward to what will come from this amazing talent!
Checkout his other albums especially "2econd Coming"

I've been into Mali Music since I heard his album "2econd Coming" about 5 years ago or around there.... so I've been waiting a looooooooong time for another album from him. I wasn't disappointed! However when ripping the songs from the CD everything showed up as "Unknown album, unknown artist, etc., no album art." I get pretty irritated when I rip CDs and have this issue but it was a quick fix with Windows Media Player, and everything shows up from the artists name to the album art. Glory be to God ;) I'd definitely recommended this album, I can't say if it's better than "2econd Coming" though! It is different... Honestly, it depends on how you're able to relate to the songs, sometimes you're spirit needs to hear a certain something, that something may or may not be on this album... no harm in trying!

What can I say about this man?!?!? His music speaks for itself. If you want a full glimpse of Mali buy his CDs and LISTEN to what he's saying. You'll be instantly hooked. Check him out on YouTube as well!! This man's music is eons ahead of the game. His band is S I C K!! NO filler, NO fluff, NO foolishness!! Mali is REAL......Real Good, Real Anointed, Real Humble, not to mention Really Good Looking!!! Don't waste time thinking about whether you should purchase this CD. Put it in your cart, purchase it and then select Next Day Shipping. You won't be sorry ;0)

Awesome album. Mali Music is very talented and I can't wait for any new material he puts out in the future. I bought this album for someone who would benefit from this album because the music is so heartfelt and encouraging. They enjoyed this album too and I'm convinced that anyone who hears it will love it too. I couldn't stop listening to the album straight for many weeks and usually I don't listen to every song on a cd but every song on here I love, so that says a lot. Give it a listen, I'm sure you'll enjoy it, as it'll surely lift you up as it did for me.
