WITH “JESUS NEVER WORE A SUIT” RICHMOND’S RADIO B OFFERS HIS OWN SCRIPTURE READING

Richmond’s own Radio B has released his highly anticipated album Jesus Never Wore a Suit. Leading up to the release, the Southside MC said that this was the longest he’d ever worked on a single album. His work effort and dedication have served him well as Blitz has delivered one of the best projects of the year, so far.

The album features guest appearances from Michael Millions, Nickelus F, Fly Anakin, Henny L. O., Easalio, DJ Skip, Breeze the Poet, Some Very Important People, Rocstagis, Angelica Baylor, and Sam Reed. The album is produced by a true rising star on the hip-hop production scene, J.L. Hodges.

For longtime Radio B fans, JNWAS, in many ways, delivers the classic wordplay, that Blitz has become known for, as he is one of the best lyricists out. He’s also consistent throughout all of his albums with thought-provoking and biographical content. This album is even more personal but that does not come off as a surprise, what will raise the antenna of longtime fans is his growth and maturity, and the cerebral way he approaches this record. While most rappers spend most of their time talking about themselves, in the hopes that the listener can relate, JNWAS plays more like a relatable textbook that the listener can use to educate others. This album is much about giving to the listener than even Radio may be aware of.

There are more than a few standout singles on the project, “Grace” ft. Michael Millions and Sam Reed is song design for my own heart, featuring two of my favorite artists. “Can’t Swim So I Walk on Water” also stands out as a great blend between the production and bars. “Awful Exchange” is a dope record, worth multiple plays.

A lot like any holy text, JNWAS gives you the lesson and then a lot (if not all) of the rest is up to you for interpretation and application. Radio B gives you the lessons in his music. What you decide to do with it, is your free will.

JNWAS is currently on all streaming services and YouTube.
