about:

PRo’s first record, Black Out, was intended to bring people together

but had a lot of pride attached to it along with a wrong worldview.

Next came debates on whether or not PRo was even a Christian rapper to

begin with. While PRo was in Memphis he became part of a community

group that helped him grow and re-shape his worldview by using Biblical

truth. During this time PRo was writing songs but soon stopped because

he felt as though he was not accurately representing the name of Jesus

Christ. PRo kept working and growing closer to God by constantly being

challenged by his community, and then came Redemption.

The Production on Redemption is well balanced and very engaging. The

listener will be hit with instant energy at times, and at other times

feel their hearts moved by the passion in the music. The album is full

of synths, guitars, strings, hard drums, 808s and more. There are

several solid producers on the project such as PRo, Docwatson, T-Dogg,

K-Drama, D Free, Big Juice, Marv4Mobeats, and Battle Axe.

lyrics. Up next is "Hold Me Down” which makes you think of the one and

only Jesus who is capable to hold you down through your problems in

this life. Other songs that also feature a fresh sound are "In the

Club” – feat. Conviction, "Fight Musik” and "Power to Die” – feat.

Brothatone. Each song either displays unique background music or the

vocal talents of guest artists that I haven’t heard PRo work with

before.

Another prominent aspect of this release would be the message that the

artist is trying to send home. There are multiple tracks laid over

beautiful beats that focus on topics ranging from giving all thanks to

God to working hard to stay pure until Christ’s triumphant return to

rule this world. But all is not necessarily good here, however.

All in all, Redemption is a very good hip hop album. There is
