The new slammin' CD from Cross Movement - House of Representatives - is definitely one of the best CDs in the genre to hit the market this year. Not only do they arrive with a tighter sound, they come with the full crew, with Cruz Cordero, Enoch, and T.R.U. L.I.F.E. joining the foray.
Carrying the same hardcore message as their previous album, Heaven's Mentality, the tracks on House of Reps sound crisper and the overall production has been raised a level. The diversity of these rap theologians shows through clearly, from the harder tracks, like "Playa Hata #1" and "Maze of Madness," to the Latin guitar-picking on "Just For You" to the metaphorically jazzy "Off Tha Hook."
True to their straight-from-the-Word style, the 19 tracks feature various snippets that reflect what they do and what they go through in their mission.
If there ever was a rap praise & worship CD, this is it.
