    If you thought the golden era of Hip Hop was over then get back on the train with your back pack stuff your Bible and rhyme book inside it and prepare yourself to the new underground coming straight from New York.

    The Missionary Men are eastcoasting to bring back rap to the essence of how hip hop use to sound like. From their new album HOMESICK . The Missionary Men are soilders on the move. Their is a military vibe that rings out loud through the cd that calls out to falling soilders in the struggle to save themselves from the traps of world, a call to all soilders in the struggle to win souls,`a call to all soilders who are willing to stand firm on the frontlines for Christ even if your life is on the line.

    Missionary Men stay on point with each concept represented , no change ups in the vibe, each song is reflected well back to back so you won't have to reach for that skip button.

    To set you on your trek with The Missionary Men you got to first walk ' Like a Soilder' a track that will get you up for your prayer warrior training at 5 a.m. and go to war by 8 a.m. and what ever the world's got to give you, give it to them first with this motivation of inspiration to awake your five senses.

    After waving the flag of righteousness while walking like a soilder in spiritual war there's going to be some down time to reflect on life. 'When it Rains' is a song that ministers to the soul of anyone who is caught up in the dark and trying to find the light. Just remember that Christ is the rain that washes away the things that keep us locked up in chains he has the key to set us free!!!

    On any mission you must have a blue print to follow and The Missionary Men have structured their underground sound around the ministry of Jesus Christ to the street with 'The Gospel'. This is my favorite track on the album. The breath taking violins and jeep beats drone in the background creating a symphonic atmosphere to prepare all those willing to spread the good news of the Lord to the world.

    When you enlist in the army of the Lord don't forget to start your great commision off right with The Missionary Men. Boot camp is open and GOD WANTS YOU!!!`
