Json has released a long awaited sophomore album called “Life on Life”. Json is a native of St. Louis and if you own or have heard the 13Letters Album, Sho Baraka’s “Turn My Life Up” Reach Records first compilation “116 Clique” or any of Flames Albums (he murders Lets Go) then you would have heard the Midwesterner bring Christ Exalting lyrics over banging beats.
This album doesn’t disappoint as a follow up to The Seasoning his debut album. As a matter of fact if you have heard The Seasoning and enjoyed it you will absolutely love this album. As Rapzilla says “it is light years beyond the first project”. Lecrae brings the noise on “Who He Is”. If you have heard the “Our World Redeemed”album and enjoyed “Its all gon” then you will love “Move out”. ”Listening Choice features Tedashii and the track for Tedashii is like pitching a softball to Barry Bonds in a little league park! What it Do features Trip and a newcomer (at least to me) named Titus and all three of them tears the track up. My Heart is a mellow track fitted for Common Sense (or now Common) bunch of instruments, very fresh summer/springish beat. Fight is the headbanger track featuring one of the most underrated Christian Artist This’l and a young brother name Mike Real who released an album late last year.
All in all a really good album. I was surprised by the production on this album, Json was already a beast lyrically but the first album was under-produced while this album is very creative and lyrically you get the Midwest Christ centered lyrics. You can buy the album at

Cop the album you will not be disappointed.
Hey Lionel Woods! Thank you for this review..I can;t wait to get the album. I was wondering…is it possible if you could do a review for me for DJ Wade-O & Oppose’s Mixtape Album, “The Essentials”. It would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
That review is on point. Even before I obtained the album, I couldn’t get enough of Json’s Myspace page. After being introduced to Json through Flame’s albums, I thought he was pretty ok, but Life on Life blew me out of the water.
My first off favorite track was “Move Out” feat. Flame & Future. It instantly caught me with its lively & aggressive style.
The thing I love about this album is that you can sit down and listen to this whole album through in one sitting. It’s got a lot of headbanger hits, but it balances them nicely with softer tracks like “Turning Point”, as well as the deeper and well-known “Grace” (bonus).
This album seems to be especially for the young Christian, since it emphasizes sharing and growth – Life on Life, is a musical multivitamin for the Christian diet.

Sham,
I do enjoy, the problem is my 2 year old only listens to like 3 tracks! He can wear a CD out!
Lol. I think we admittedly might all have a little 2-year-old in us, at times.
