Before the cd was released I'd already heard 'Slow Down' & 'Blood,Sweat & Tears' so I had some idea of what to expect. Once I got my copy of "Son of Pain" I realized there was a lot more. Governor is a very gifted songwriter and vocalist, you can hear it on every song. I got stuck on 'Never Wanna Leave' because its a perfect example of his range. I have to give a nod to TI for giving Governor a shot to really be heard and I think we will be hearing a lot from him. If it doesn't blow up, "Son of Pain" might be one of the most slept on albums of 2006.

If you like Jaheim or Anthony Hamilton you should like Govenor also. He actually can sing and really have something to talk about instead of bumping and grinding and what kind of car he drives and being a pimp!!!!!
Thank you Govenor.

I just got this album a few days ago and have been replaying it since. It's got stories on here that everyone can relate to; this is real Rhythm & Blues. Governor brings his pain to life in "Son of Pain" and you can feel and relate to just about every song on this album.

This is my first review for any album. Although I consider Trance my favorite genre of music this cd has brought back the old school R&B feel of the 1990's era. Thank you Governor for giving us all "Son of Pain".

Some of my favorites:
*Out Of My Hands, Forgive Me, Be Yourself (#1 Favorite), Destiny, Never Wanna Leave.., etc., etc...

This album is good from beginning to end. You need this music in your life. I don't care who you are or what your background everyone has experienced the same pain that Governor brings to life in this cd.

IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT YOU CAN FIND ANYBODY, ANYBODY! THAT CAN CARRY AN ENTIRE CD BY HIMSELF. I THINK THAT GOVERNOR IS ONE OF THE FEW SOLO ARTISTS THAT CAN DO IT. PERIOD. OUT OF ANY GENRE, COUNTRY, RAP, R&B, WHATEVER.

How we miss those days when artists carried an entire cd by themselves?

Governor is bringing it back.

Governor is the newest R&B crooner to be signed to a rapper's label. But unlike Bobby Valentino who favors romance & seduction, Governor has more in common in with Donny Hathway & Lyfe Jennings. I was initially disappointed by the CD because it lacks those baby maker slow jams but after giving the CD a second listen I found the CD to be more social & political than sexual. Governor is at his best on Blood, Sweat & Tears, Slow Down & Forgive Me but the rest of the CD is by the numbers. T.I. is wasted on his featured track, but Governor does show some promise. Instinct tells me that Grand Hustle Records another male R&B crooner Rashad Morgan also known as Ray-Ray is going to be the label's lover man while Governor will be the exact opposite.

Don't sleep on this album. The man mixes that classic soul voice with blues, sermon style spoken word, street cred and awesome writing. Each song tells a story. Love "Blood, Swet and Tears" "I'm On My Way" "Destiny" "Move Easy" ... hell I love the entire album. Definitely this is one where you purchase the entire CD as opposed to just downloading a few songs. Get it and you will not be disappointed.

just being a fan of t.i., i heard him singing and loved the voice. i never even expected the album to be this good. oh my, this is the r & b album i've been looking for. he doesn't have all the cameos by rappers, trying to blend in as i would say. this you can listen straight through, sleep to, make love to. no super sweet love ballads, just realness and i love it, have told everybody about it, don't sleep on this one, it's worth checking out, believe me

I happen to come across this CD looking for something else. I forget what I was looking for, N E way, I put the Cd in the car on the drive home, and was blown away by this cat. I've since turned on a few of my Neo-soul, urban-blues, old school R & B buddies, and all have given the dude crazy props. If Ya Ain't Heard. NOW ya have, cope this joint, you wont be mad at me

Very soulful!!!! Reminds you of old school *70's crooners. Tell great stories through his music,

i first heard him on one the soundtrack to one of tyler perry's movies. this is a really good cd and it's ashame that more people don't know about him.

I only heard one song the one called Destiny and that song got my approval of a man visulizing his woman from God and I hope everywhere in this world every man can received a woman like Destiny and can`t push her away.
