Raw Material Review

I first heard Mars Ill on a compilation which featured "The Sphere". I was thrilled that Hip Hop was raw again (no pun intended). When I got the CD, I was blown away!!! Dust does an amazing job with the beats and scratching while Manchild effortlessly paints a masterpiece with his in your face yet very poetic rhymes. Mars Ill doesn't rely on gimmicks like many overpaid, commercial rappers. This CD goes back to the basics of beats and rhymes. Raw Material not only brings instant credibility to Christian Hip-Hop, but catipults Mars Ill to the top of Hip Hop, Christian or Secular.
