Brythreesixty ft Dexter Baysiq - Checkmate (Official Video)

This is a new offering from Brythreesixty a Christian Rap artist featuring Dexter Baysiq titled Checkmate. Before I reviewed this song I had to educate myself more on Christian Rap, what its supposed to sound like, the instrumentals and other relevant stuffs. Listened to the big respected guys such Lecrae, Andy Mineo, Trip Lee, Da T.R.U.T.H..etc.

This song is directed to all those other secular Hip Hop artists. Dexter Baysiq in his verse said:

'These rappers talk about the same stuff

so lame

They say they balling but rilly they got no dollars

just cheap watches and gold dreams 

turn into an ugly dream"

That's a direct attack on the other rappers. And on top of that they basically used Bobby Shmurda's Hot Nigga Instrumental, they just changed it a bit, Don't know if its a insult  to the secular rappers or lack of creativity on their part.

As a hip hop song both artists gave great verses with Dexter's verse being the better verse in my opinion. The video is great, well all of Brythreesixty videos are standard.

In terms of Gospel music, this song is awful. Its an attack rather than spreading the word (that's what l believe Gospel music should do). Listening to a Gospel song a person must feel uplifted, empowered, blessed... and it must make one audit their actions, make amends where required in order to be a better person. After listening to a Gospel song one must feel that God is indeed with us. This song offers none of that.
