Trip Lee the southern gospel rapper has matured from his other two prior albums 20/20 and If They Only Knew. Trip brings strong flows, addictive beats, and great supporting rappers to make “Between Two Worlds” one of my favorite rap albums of the year.
Between Two Worlds opens with the song "Real Life Music" center piecing how good Trips returning flow is. Trip Lee says in his first song “too many spit that fake rap that most can't relate too”. Trip Lee makes this a central theme, his flows are not about popping fifty's, getting ritch, or doing his thing in the club. Instead Trip Lee is enriching us with his personal struggles and feelings to spit that “real life music” that we all can relate to or understand were he is coming from. For Trip Lee “Between Two Worlds” is not about making stacks or approval ratings, its about making good music and reaching out to people who struggle with all the things that most rappers rap about. While most rappers rap about lust, car adultery and shooting people, Trip Lee understands we live in a fallen world and that the face of rap needs to change.
Trip Lee brings top notch beats by combining bass drops laced with violins and trumpets to bang hard on any sub guaranteed. “Prognosis” had me dropping me my mouth, I had to look it up to make sure Timberland had not made the beat for it. “Covenant Eyes” packs a punch from the moment the bass drops my sub woofer gos crazy. The beat from “Bear With You” was repeating in my head the entire night, and I had to run back to my computer a couple times to listen to it. These are just a few highlights, but every song packs a great beat.
The last thing that sells this album for me is Lecrae, Pro, Sho Baraka, and Tedashii, and Chris Lee and all other rappers that appear that are just as good and not secular. Lecrae appears in “Twisted” and demonstrates his ability to spit it in Midwest style. Sho Baraka appears in “I Love Music”with both him and Trip just sharing how passionate they both are about music. Pro spits it incredibly hard in “Covenant Eyes”, I looked him up the second his verse came up, which is what guest rappers should make you want to do. Each rapper that appears is equivalent to Trip Lee in talent and anything secular out their. All these rappers are incredibly talented, and its nice to see rappers using there ability s to try and reach out to people instead of just making music for us to get drunk to.
Overall Trip Lee provides one of the best rap albums of the year delivering on personal experiences, explosive beats and just flat out uniqueness. Download a couple songs and leave comments of what you think you will not be disappointed.
