"After a LONG, long wait for fans of the Atlanta based, underground sensation Mars Ill's second release, Pro-pain is now on shelf stores. Supposed to have released in 2004, legal trouble kept us in limbo. The final product is well worth the wait. As usual, Mars Ill rips their lives wide open and provide a depth in lyrics very rarely found in any hip-hop, Christian or secular. I appreciate that the lyrics are never Christian fluff, sermons that rhyme, or cruddy metaphors; instead it is raw, real, and unapologetic. Not to mention that the beats are hot. Among others, Pro-Pain includes guest artists Ahmad Jones (4th Ave. Jones) and Cappadonna (Wu Tang Clan). It doesn't matter if you are a hip hop fan or not, this album will blow your mind and your stereo, go pick it up and support these guys!!"

Believe it or not...

"Most people make the mistake of assuming that ALL Christian rap is garbage. And I understand why: They Try Too Hard. And everyone knows that when you try to hard, you usually miss your target.



Back to the point...



Enter Mars iLL, emphasis on the "ill". These dudes seriously stay true to the Word and the words. Manchild on the mic and Dust on the wax...maintaining their ties to the underground community.

People argue about the "Greatest Rapper Alive". I definately nominate Manchild. Without a doubt. His words are real, and you get what he's saying. Crossing boundaries like class, Mars iLL is a must for any hip-hop head. Seriously."
