On the Rise | Posted September-30-2016
You've seen music videos such as "Jesus Loves Me," "Color Blind" and most recently "Haters" from the Michigan artist Beacon Light. Now Beacon has released a new, well-produced eight song project titled Lit.
The first track "Lit" was produced really well. The hook really brings me in and is a banger for anyone listening. "Haters" is my favorite song on the album. Beacon does a great job with his flow, mixing fast lyrics with a hook that will be in your head for days. I love how vulnerable he gets during "Be That Way;" it kind of had that NF "Wish You Wouldn't" feel to it.
"Game Time" and "Quite Like Me" feature artists Dre Murray and Steven Malcolm. These are both songs that should be in everyones workout set, songs you'll be wanting to see at a live show! "Falling" may seem to some like a song to skip over, but it reminded me of a Macklemore song. Beacon is honest, and the flow is easy to understand because he's not hiding what he believes.
Closing Thoughts:
Beacon Light is an artist on the rise. You can tell that he cares about the production of his songs, and he cares about the audience he's speaking to. He never hides the fact that Jesus is where he gets his strength from. Overall, I liked the album. For me some of the instrumentals sounded the same, but his flow has really grown since his previous project Open Eyes. I think Lit had a good concept and was original, but Beacon has a whole new level that he can reach on his next project.

The Stellar Nominated hip hop Artist Viktory is no stranger to the hip hop community. With his sixth studio album Tomorrow Came, Viktory covers race, violence, police brutality, homosexuality and other topics some CHH rappers shy away from.
The Chicago native starts the album with "Intro," a track where he's reminding us of the tragedies and news-worthy stories in the past year. In the song "Lunch Tables ft. Ashlian," Viktory not only reminded his son but I feel all of us that no matter what race, gender or background, we all should feel welcome at the table. "1968" is an anthem for all of us with powerful lyrics "why can't you love me, the way I want to love to you!" Viktory "keeps it coming" with his rapid flow lyrics on "We Won't Stop," a song that will have you jumping and inspire you to never stop.
Closing Thoughts:
I really enjoyed how Viktory was able to stay true to himself. He didn't waver from bringing people closer to God. If you want an album that provides truth for today, I would highly suggest listening to what Viktory has to say. All in all it was a terrific album, and I'm interested to see what's next for Viktory.
