It’s time for five-two television! All the way from the record’s zany into, Christian rapper KJ-52 promises you “a show like none other” and delivers well in what may be his best studio album yet. KJ maintains his signature humor and fun beats throughout the album, mixing fast-paced rockers like “Let’s Go” and “Gonna Be Alright” with some more serious, slower-tempo tracks like “Broken People,” “Dear God,” and the heart-tugging true story “Picture.” Technology provides the underlying theme for this album, as alluded to in the title, and KJ cleverly uses comparisons of social-networking, texts, and phone calls as a metaphor for our spiritual lives. Also hiding just under the surface is the story of the imaginary and mysterious character of Christopher Carlino, who KJ says is what he envisioned himself becoming had he not accepted Christ as a teenager. Pausing between chunks of songs, each narrated-blog interlude will bring you closer to piecing together Chris’s story. But will we ever know what happens? Does the struggling Chris ever completely break down his spiritual barriers and let the Lord of the universe into his life? You’ll have to find out for yourself! Containing cameos from a host of other amazing artists and even a super-fun Spanish rap song and hilarious “autotune intervention”, Five-Two Television is one show that you won’t want to miss!
