Album Review: Game "Jesus Piece"

West Coast Rapper The Game will drop his 5th album "Jesus Piece" December 11. Game has been releasing free music every Sunday for the past few months in hopes of drumming up some interest. Game pulls a DJ Khaled move and gets features for 90% of Jesus Piece. Listening to Jesus Piece you are sure to here 2 Chainz, Kanye West, Big Sean, Trae The Truth, Kevin Hart, Lil Wayne, and every other major artist in hip hop right now. If the album is anything like "Holy Water" then we are in for a treat.

Who the fuck "Scared Now"? Over the heavy base track Game reflects on his fight with 40 Glocc and recording it, Bigge, and his history with 50 Cent & G Unit. Meek comes in at the end and spits some hard ish.

"Ali Bomaye" means "Ali Kill Him" and refers to the 1974 Rumble In The Jungle when Muhammad Ali fought Georges Foreman. 2 Chainz and Rozay join Game for the track. All 3 spit over a church choir type beat, while screaming Ali Bomaye".

Superstar Comedian Kevin Hart handles the intrudes and his first one is about getting an Iced Out Jesus Piece. The next track "Jesus Piece" features G.O.O.D. Music CEO Kanye West and Common. The church vibe continues and the piano riffs fit the beat perfect. J Cole and Game "Pray" in the next track. This track is something more for the ladies and doesn't feature a heavy base tracks.
After praying, Game is trying to get some chicken wings and go to "Church"!  Trey Songz handles the hook while King Chip &  Game deliver their flows. Taking it back to the 90s Game remixes D'angelo's "Sweet Lady", "All That (Lady)" features Lil Wayne, Big Sean, Fabolous, & R&B Artist Jeremih.

"Heavy Arms" is one of the two songs Game handles alone. While most artist feature alot of artist on their tracks (French Montana) to hide their lack of talent, Game has proven he can make a hit with no features. I just wished there were more tracks like this on the album.

Game keeps the features to a minimum on "Name Me King", by only having Pusha T in the booth. "See No Evil" is one of my favorite tracks production and Lyrically. Game gets deep while talks about his gang banging days and his city Compton. That's Tank singing on the Hook. Kendrick Lamar never disappoints and takes this track from nice to dope!

"Can't Get Right"  doesn't do anything for me. "Hallelujah" is an uplifting song and continues the church theme of the album. Actor/Singer Jamie Foxx is also featured on this track.

“Freedom” gives you that 70’s vibe and is perfect to light a J up to. Game is having a “Celebration” which features a sample from Ohio Rap Group Bone-Thugs-.Harmony. The features include Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Tyga, & Wiz Khalifa.

“I Remember” is a perfect strip club track as future and Game recall some of the things they can’t remember. Jeezy is trying to get back in so he is also featured on the track. Game rounds out his mixtape with “Blood Diamonds” which has no features.

While "The Documentary" is my favorite Game album, this is a solid piece of work. I'm giving this album a 3.5 out of 5 stars.
