Legendary (Single)

Manafest Few songs can be upbeat and inspiring while also really rocking out. This one manages it all. The verses are the most rock, the choruses are the most inspirational- both lyrically and musically. Overall...

Powerful, Vulnerable, and Uplifting | Posted December-26-2014
A powerful song about wondering who you're meant to be and your place in this world, the lyrics are something that most people can relate to during at least one point in their life. The song is both soulful and uplifting; made so by the beautiful music and the fact that the vocals are a very talented combination of powerful yet vulnerable. Overall beautiful song that speaks to people and lifts you up. Great job! :)

This short album is filled with very passionate and soulful vocals, insightful, creative, and worshipful lyrics, and a beautiful laidback, and somehow (but not in traditional sense) folksy sound. It is a little mournful at times, but beautiful and very good.
More Crazy Fun/ny Music and Messages | Posted October-30-2014
Love this fun to listen to rap album! More extremely fun/ny (and kinda crazy) tracks like Cartoon Network, Ya Bref Stank, and Gimme Dat, tracks about serious issues like Don't Go, Check Yourself, and #1 Fan, and inspirational tracks like So In Love With You, Rock On (!), and Pick Yourself Up, I Feel So Good. This CD has overall a bit more upbeat tempo, more background music, and more personal info about KJ (like the title track) than Collaborations; but it's still more awesome, super-creative-with-a-message rap music from KJ!
My Awesome introduction to KJ's music | Posted October-30-2014
Ranging from hysterically fun/ny and creative tracks like Nursery Rhymes, Revenge of the Nerds, and Coke, Fry, and a Cheeseburger (hidden last track), to wiser tracks that make a point and really talk and think about serious issues like Wait For You, Industry, and Where Were You, to songs in between those that inspire like Rise Up and Do That, this CD is surprisingly diverse for a rap album (some are straight rap with nothing but a beat, others have music, some have a bit of rock mixed in), and its definitely all around awesome. :) I think this was my introduction to Kj's music- and I've gotten years of enjoyment from this talented guy ever since!
Beautiful Aweomeness | Posted October-14-2014
Musically this is definitely different from anything of KJ's that I've heard before. By that I mean the electronic music; but I mean it as a good thing. In fact, it seems he has added electronic music to his masterful tools of the awesome-music-making-trade. This song is just so beautiful (in a funky soulful electronic, rap, and hip hop kind of way)! And its still very KJ-52, with his storytelling and worshipful raps and hip hop beat. This song is really awesome and gives fans of KJ's like me something to enjoy while looking forward to more music from this talented artist!
Meaningful and Awesome | Posted September-26-2014
Great music by a talented and compassionate young rapper with real messages and hope for his fans. The music is great and often fun or beautiful. The raps are creative, powerful, meaningful, and inspiring because they talk about and provide hope about some of the toughest topics young people like the artist often have to face. With this much talent and inspiration in and for an age group and music genre often lacking such positive and inspiring role models that the fans can relate to, this is probably just the first album of many from a talented and beloved young artist.
Upbeat Inspiration for a Difficult Topic | Posted September-26-2014
This is a beautiful, inspirational, and downright upbeat song about death- and what comes after. The lyrics are extremely worshipful and quite creative, and the talented vocals and beautiful instrumental music give the song added power and keep it uplifting. Great job!

If you like weirdness that is a little hard to understand and even harder to explain, this song and its music video were literally made for you. That said, it is a crazy fun, funny, upbeat dance song! It has beautiful music, creative lyrics, and endless fun!
Beautiful Fun | Posted August-29-2014
Love It! Whether its the quirky dance songs like Sweep the Leg and Dance Like Nobody's Watching, or the tracks so beautiful you just get caught up in them like Walk on Water and Glow in the Dark, this CD rocks! The music and vocals are upbeat and awesome, and the lyrics are so creative. This CD is beautiful and lots of fun!

I think its really cool that she did the Spanish version of her song "Glow" from the "I Choose Jesus" album. Its really great- she sings with such emotion and the song is very beautiful and upbeat. I wonder if she will do the Spanish version of any of her other songs? Either way, this is a beautiful song from a very talented artist.
