Urban D

Unorthodox

EMI Gospel

Grade – C+

Tommy Kyllonen, also known as Urban D. has released his 5^th solo album called Un.orthodox.  He tells some relevant stories over a simple beat.  His lyrics are well put together and tell interesting stories.

However I do not like the beats.  They left me unsatisfied because they seemed un-refined and too simple.  I kept waiting for the next song to pick up the pace, unfortunately, it never happened. 

Christian rappers usually develop more refined beats as they become more experienced and release more albums.  Nevertheless, I’m not sure this will happen with Urban D. due to the fact that this is his fifth solo album. 

Overall this is an average album.  The lyrics are good enough, but the beats are lacking.  I would recommend this album for current fans of Urban D. and those who like simple beats.
