By Andre Mullen
Unlike some of his peers, Lyrycyst isn’t trying to protect his alter ego, Steven Cooper. He is a man on a mission who intends for his listeners to get to know him through his story, the story of a revolution. This revolution is chronicled in his striking debut album, American Dream.
Lyrycyst uses various instrumentation to create a sonic landscape that is unlike the average hip-hop album. Utilizing guitars and other string instruments, Lyrycyst takes the listener on a musical journey that talks about various life experiences and testimonies from a God perspective. With his rapid fire tracks and a delivery to match, Lyrycyst confronts the falsehood of the music industry in songs like Showbiz and New Hit. In What If I, Lyrycyst addresses the issue of abortion from a personal viewpoint. With simple, yet powerful piano chords, Lyrycyst explores the question of what would have happened if his own young mother would have aborted him. On Devil Eye, violin strings provide the foundation as Lyrycyst enlightens the listener to the tactics of the spirit of lust.

Eternity Now's first CD Shape My Life is driven. They bring a message of hope for believers and non-believers alike. As you listen to the tracks, you can't help but get the feeling that no matter where you have been in life these songs are speaking to you. This is a powerful CD that you will want to play over and over again until you know all the words to every song. This is one of those CDs that will bring back memories from defining moments in your life. Anyone will be able to relate to these songs about struggles, emotions and triumphs. The song "Leap of Faith" centers around God's Grace and it will touch a common cord in all of us when Roam asks, "Do I take a leap of faith or stay where it is safe?" "Jesus Please", which I think is my favorite song, is a soulful plea of help for us to get it right. This is a band you are going to want to get to know. The songs are masterfully written and the group puts their heart and soul into this CD. Eternity Now is a solid band with a Christian message that all people will be able to relate to and enjoy.

| Song/CD Compilation: Just Listen Genre: Rhythm & Praise By Andre Mullen |
| Cameron “Cam” Dukes always dreamed of one day being a big R&B artist. However, his life changed drastically when he accepted Jesus Christ into his life. He hasn’t looked back since. With the same conviction he had toward making his mark in R&B, Cam now desires to lift up the name of Jesus in song. Out of this conviction, his debut album, Just Listen, was birthed. |
