| Song/CD Compilation: Subtle Deception Genre: Rap By Andre Mullen |
| All Purpose Experience (APX) is serious about what he has been called to do. In his words, “evangelism and discipleship are imperative”. His drive is simple: Combat the negative and explicit images of today’s musical landscape with positive, Christ-centered lyrics that get people thinking and banging beats that get their heads bobbing. To accomplish this, he has put together a “tougher than leather” album entitled Subtle Deception. |

| CD/Song Compilation – 4 The Children Genre: Rap/Hip-Hop By Brad McBrayer |
| Stop. Before you even consider giving the rap music and lyrics of Portland’s Octavia Harris a listen, try to imagine how you think it should sound. What are the comparisons that are assumed? What past artists shape your expectations? Think about it. How many supremely talented, let alone successful, female rappers can you name? Missy Elliott, yes. Queen Latifah… sure, though she’s more into Hollywood now. Some might say Lauryn Hill, but less so today. If you go way back you might recall Salt-N-Pepa or Da Brat. However, they rapped the words of others or copied the styles of male counterparts… original almost solely by way of their gender. No question, the list to draw from is short. |

| Imagine yourself sitting on the beach at night, warming by a fire, listening to a girl sing and play her guitar. The ocean waves are her only percussion – God in nature supplying rhythm. This is the feel one finds on “Designed to Dream”, a nine-song debut album from Jessica McLean. |
