What we have here is a nice hip hop set from the latest addition to the CMR unit...Everyday Process. What really makes this one a keeper is that:(1)Jesus is represented in each joint...you're never lost in the wind as to whom they're referrin' to as the Way, Truth, and Life when they spit and (2)They're not mimickin' their CMR labelmates/peers the way Wu-Tang proteges were back in the day. I have to admit though, at first listen, I was agreein' with some of the other posts that were givin' em 3 stars. While the Intro was becomin' of a new addition to the CMR camp, to me, the lyrics/delivery could've used a little more polishin' and the album didn't really pick up for me until tracks 5-19.Everything from that point on is crisp, clean, Christ-centered, and apt to blowin' the speakers out if you're not careful. My personal fav's are #5-7,9-10,and 13-17. I was feelin' the cypha...but I prefer the cyphas from the older CM releases to this one. Everything CMR has stood for is in the formula behind EP's debut. Look forward to hearin' alot more from these brothers in the future.

The Group known as Cross Movement are no more, and whilst they still plan to record as solo acts (please see Crime & Consequences and the eagerly awaited the Dash CD by CM's Tonic) the baton has been passed to a new generation, with Everyday Process being one of the first out the block. This release is more grimmy, then any other CM releases that, to my mind have been released, and I don't say that as a negative thing, as I do like that sound myself. Whilst not every track on here is a banger, when the production, lyrics, are on point, boy do they bring it. The outstanding track, and the reason I purchased this joint, is 'Grace' which could be the anthem of my life. Simply put, it exposes what we could have been without the grace of God, through the life death, and resurrect of his son Jesus Christ. The After party is a rough party joint that, whilst having a beat that makes a brother wanna move, has Godly lyrics relating to the ultimate 'After Party', the life promised to God's elect, in heaven. 'As real as it gets', a joint you can pump in your ride, which is an honest assessment of the hardness of the Christian walk, and an encouragement to keep-on, keeping on. 'Hey Girl' is a warning to all the sisters out there, with reference to the men, and ways of the world that, if used to define your self worth, will ultimately lead to unhappiness, and separation from God. This has a lovely lullaby feel to it.
What with this being a CM joint, you know it had to finish with a cypha, and not this any cypha. Na, they bring it, full on, with special guests: Lecrae, Flame, R-swift, and the awesome Phanatik, and Ambassador, who to these ears, really kill it. All in all this CD is evidence, if evidence was needed, that HHH's new generation won't drop the baton handed to them, and will represent the most high to the fullest.

I love this album and have not been able to take it out of the cd player yet. I think the beats are on point. The sound is gritty underground east coast sound. My favorite tracks are Resist the System, Grace, and Shine Bright. If you love true hip hop you will love this album and as with every CMR album the Lord is upfront and center no compromise on the message or the quality of sound. God Bless Everyday Process and the rest of the CM family to keep doing their thing.

EP went banannas on this album. I don't know what to say besides the album is stellar. If you are over the age of 18 you may remember the first two Mobb Deep Albums and a crew called the Boot Camp Click made up of Smif and Wessun, Heltah Skeltah and OGCC, that is what the lyrical arrangement and beats are similar to; however it is saturated with the glorious and life changing Gospel! Mac even let Crae, J.R and Official produce some tracks and I am almost ready to say that it is some of the best I have heard from either of the three. Please run to your closest Best Buy or CC and get the album. The previews on CMR website is like smelling grandma's Carmel Cake. You can imagine but once you dig in the smell did it no justice. God bless.

I wouldn't call myself a hip hop head, but I do know good hip hop when I hear it. I know when something can really just make me jump out my seat and just dance all over the room. And that's what EP's album does for me. It makes me jump up and down for the Lord because they are bringing a different kind of flavor to God's word not heard before. They are on a full-fledged, fast track attack at bringing the gospel to people throughout the world. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ALBUM!!!!!!

Everyday Process has a full understanding of what it takes to make the Hip-Hop heads surrender to Jesus Christ and quence their secular thirst. The beats are bangin' and the lyrics are second to none. Not only do they rap about it they live it which is a beautiful thing .They really have an understanding of what is needed in the industry today!!!

Great Album. It really speaks to you and the subjects are easy to relate to.

If you like that undergound, east coast, gritty style of rap, then this cd is for you! Every song on this album is on point with the exception of "Hey Girl".....Badia's voice just makes me cringe!!! My personal fav's are:
Resist the system
Grace
All I need
Holla at me
As real as it gets

Even if you don't like this style of rap, I still recommend this cd, cuz it's that good. EP definitely brought the heat on this record.

I would put these two against any secular artisit out and they would annihilate them. It's a shame artist of their caliber are not in heavy rotation somewhere. The hip-hop culture today is so impressed with the world they don't see the freedoms and life that's available through the Lord Jesus Christ. Lord give us the wisdom and boldness to win the lost for You.

I heard the samples on the website around the time it came out. I thought to myself, "Man, these don't even sound good. And every time the previews don't even sound good, the whole cd is even worse. Maybe okay at best, but not worth my money."

Then for some reason i started thinking about them... it was from their songs on Cross Movement's "HIStory" album (both of which were outstanding). Then i saw them live on the HIStory tour... and i could hardly hear the lyrics cuz the acoustics weren't great at that venue... then 3 days later i decided i wanted that album.

Phew... I was not disappointed. I would have to classify the style of this album as East Coast. Definitely creative musically (particularly 2. Build Up, 3. Resist the System 4. Give Em the Gospel, 17. Shine Bright).
Lyrically, Christ is up front and priority.

I have to admit i skip some songs every time (13. After Party, 19. Everyday Cypha). Lyrically, i think I would like the cypha, esp. considering a bunch of my favorite artists are on it, but musically, these two songs drive me nuts!

But no bother. EP delivers on this album. My favorites are (14. As Real as it Gets, 16. The World Needs Jesus 17. Shine Bright). If i were them, which im not, I would have pushed these songs to the end of the album and finished with these.

Very SOLID album.
