This is absolutely magnificent album,I really can't believe that someone could actually make an album so good. First time I listen'd to it I was totally blown away, second time I was left astonis'd, and it just gets better everytime I hear it. The lyrics are beautiful and the vibe just right. What more can I say the Album speaks for itself, Papa San well done! n keep erm coming.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK GOD FOR PAPA SAN...
THIS CD IS TRULY, TRULY AMAZING. IT WAS NOT A SURPRISE TO ME,HOW AWESOME THE CD IS. HIS FIRST TWO CDS WAS "DA BOMB", SO I EXPECTED NO LESS FROM THIS ONE.

ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE MOST ABOUT PAPA SAN, IS HIS LOVE FOR GIVING PRAISE AND THANKS TO ALMIGHTY GOD; THAT IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF HIS CDS, BECAUSE WHO WOULD THINK THAT U WOULD BE ABLE TO TRULY PRAISE GOD W/ JAMAICAN DANCEHALL MUSIC?

I LOVED THE "SPANISH RAP" - THAT SOUND SOOO GOOD -BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES. PEOPLE I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THIS CD, BUT I'LL SPARE U...I ENCOURAGE U TO SUPPORT PAPA SAN. GO AND GET YOURSELF AND ALL YOUR COUSINS A CD - U WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED....

Unknown to me until I heard Papa San on tobyMac's 2004 smash album Welcome To Diverse City most notably on track 2 with Whoopsi Daisy. I had anticipated this CD back in February because honestly I had no idea what to expect from Papa San. Part of me wanted more what I heard on toby's album and another to see what more diversity the artist would have on his own album. About 2 months later after having completely forgotten that I even ordered the CD I got and wasn't sure what to expect. I gave it a listen through. I will tell you this. If you were in the same situation I was in not sure what it would even sound like this album is incredible. Jamacian Gospel Dance music is the three words to describe it. There is no doubt that Papa San loves Jesus and serves the Lord our God. I paid about 17 bucks for it plus tax at my local Christian store and took a real gamble getting in it and it paid off. I will be listening to this album for a long time to come, espeically this summer.

Papa San is back and got another good album that will truly having you dancing and singing the chorus. My most favorite songs are "For You Lord", "Jus' Seh Di Word", "He's Coming" and "More Life".

"For You Lord" is a cool praise song and I saw the video for it on BET Video Gospel. "More Life" sings about needing God more and that we can't live without Him. "Jus' Seh Di Word" is about how good and powerful the Word is when you know it and keep it. "He's Coming" is basically telling the listener to give your life to Christ because Jesus is coming back again.

So if you like gospel music with a Jamaican taste to it that will make you want to dance, here's the album to get.

Papasan album Real and Personal is off the HOOK!!!!!! I would give it more than five stars!!!!!!! Awesome album!!!!!!It's well done, organized, filled with the essence of the Gospel, and with a lot of vibes. It has really ministered to my heart like OH ZION that's about a secret place in God, and encouraged me to JUS SEH DI WORD and be real with God. That's one of the traits of the album that stood out to me, is the authenticity of it. I am totally satisfied with it and impressed.

This is the best cd I've heard in a long time, it's great! This is Papa San's best cd. You won't be disappointed.

Fans of Papa San will no doubt be well versed in his pivotal role in `dancehall' (reggae's bold and free pulsating hard-core offspring) over the past two decades, his conversion in 1997 and his anointed work in the music ministry to date. Since his last album, `God & I', was released in 2003 such followers will regard `Real & Personal', his third album, as long-awaited. And it has been worth the wait because, like a gourmet chef serving up 11 quality courses, Minister Papa San kicks off by raising the bar and keeping it there for all 11 tracks of an album that is near impossible to fault.

Press `play' and you may lower the volume because the energy will be noticeably more potent compared to most fully mastered releases in your collection. Yet the cleanness of the mix makes it easy to listen to at any volume. So then again you may just jack it up all the more, such is the all-round quality of the production. Papa San's delivery of his anointed lyric is airtight, supported by intense yet sweet backing vocals (both brothers and sisters).

The work on each track, notably those where co-producer Eddie `Trendsetta' Perez has a hand, is exceptional - instrument selection/use and attention to detail being first-rate, full of ideas yet with nothing sounding out of place. The result is altogether the best vehicle for the undiluted gospel message via Papa San's so far.
