Some more analytical types might even have noticed that the first track with no feature is always a banger on 116 Clique albums and many others, especially if it’s either track 2 or 3. But it is those tracks with no features wherein a person looks at the title and has to guess and/or hope for a dope track or something that is really surprising. They’ll see Trip Lee on I’m A Believer and expect another hot track as well as with the closer, Community, with Steven the Levite and Sho Baraka. They’ll see Gotta Believe and know it’s going to be a dope laid back track because Diamone is the feature. They’ll see Make War with, I mean featuring, Flame and expect the same (despite what Flame says at the top of the track). They’ll see the single 26’s featuring Lecrae and expect it to bang. When one looks across an album cover and track listing, certain tracks will jump out at some people as being tracks one would expect to be amazing and others…not so much.

This is just the typical high quality sound and God-fearing message that T’Dot, the 116 Clique and Reach is known for. However, if you’ve never been a fan of T’Dot or Reach Records, then there really isn’t anything new or special that would change your opinion. It is everything one would expect from a Reach Records and a T’Dot product. But I’m a bass head, so it might be an unfair critique. The only thing I would have liked a bit more of was the bass, which didn’t hit as hard as I had expected and hoped it would. The tracks seamlessly flow into each other like a proper mixtape but still give the necessary effect of being a true album. Each track just fits its spot and seems perfectly crafted and produced. If there is a formula that can be made for putting an album together, this album is truly another great example. Technically, there is nothing really wrong with this album despite all of those differences. Oh, and the most obvious difference, Tedashii is on far more of these tracks that he was on with Rebel (I think that is an important difference, right?). There was also the surprise disappearance of the label’s famed vocalist, Cam, despite the number of vocalists who do make the album. Yet another difference, instead of Dwayne Tryumf being the track slayer on the lead single as it was with Lecrae, it is Steven the Levite featuring along with Sho Baraka on the high energy album closer Community. But give a guy a break huh, not everyone can rip everything in every way one can imagine, geez. Another difference is there is less experimentation and creativity musically and stylistically with this album.

Lecrae went a step further than anyone else by offering so much extra material with deluxe packages you could get on the Reach Records website, but nothing like that is offered with Tedashii’s album. Furthermore, the 3 “Identity” tracks are more like elongated musical interludes ( We Fell is my favorite). Lecrae, and the even hotter ‘album intro.’ – Side bar…at what point in time did album intros become so darn hot?! All I can say is Praise God for that! But I digress. That number also includes the intro to the banging single, 26s ft. There is the fact that there are actually only 15 tracks on Identity Crisis with no bonuses, or hidden tracks, or anything like that. So let’s talk about some of the differences. So who cares if it’s not as good as Lecrae’s project, because there are still few other albums that have been released or will be released this year that are going to equal Identity Crisis. Many will disagree and either way you’re going to get 25-50 points a game and a winning season as well as a potential title. Of course that’s like saying Kobe Bryant isn’t as good as Lebron James. My guess? No, it won’t match Rebel’s success because it just isn’t as good or as well rounded. This was unlike the promotion-heavy Rebel, though people did seem at least equally excited for that release. Most of the people I know have been on the edge of their seats awaiting this project despite having only mild leaks on a couple of the tracks and mild promotion. So the questions for Tedashii and Identity Crisis are will there be a repeat of Lecrae’s success? Will the album maintain the dominance of Reach Records or will we have a real crisis of identity? T’Dot has received more, if not equal, fanfare in some circles than Lecrae. It truly legitimized the genre like no album before it, as if it really needed any further legitimization. Rebel broke all kinds of records with iTunes and Billboard regarding Christian hip hop. This is Christian Hip-Hop / Rap artist Tedashii’s second solo album hitting not too long after Lecrae dropped his Rebel album, the first was Kingdom People.
