Describe it in 20 words A full-length album of streetwise, witty and spiritual rap from UK-based Christian hip-hop band, The 29th Chapter.

Big Themes/Standout Tracks I'm not a big fan of rap or hip-hop - much of the stuff I've heard is loud, aggressive, in-your-face and arrogant, with "attitude" that comes across as annoying cockiness. There's none of that on this album. This is mostly low-key, chilled-out rap, with clever, genuinely witty wordplay and variety in the backing tracks - some jazz, some soul, some ethnic beats. "Vessels" is the standout, a humble song about wanting to be used by God. And "Shout Your Name" effectively uses a choir singing in Latin. However, my favourite track is the minute-long "Utter Rubbish Interlude", which made me laugh out loud and proves to me that The 29th Chapter can poke fun at themselves.

Anything that lets it down Well, it's still rap/hip-hop, so it might not be to your taste. But if it can win me over with its refreshing originality and class, it might win you over as well! This UK-based band aren't imitators - they have developed an original style all their own.

Who it sounds like It reminded me of a low-budget version of Arrested Development, another chilled-out rap band that was much more concerned with spiritual and social issues than telling everyone how wonderful they were.

Rating **** Great stuff
