Album Review // Yeshuwa Myers // My Enemies' Nightmares
4/5 stars
Released in the midst of troubling and conflicting times, Yeshuwa Myers continues to share a rare grace and positivity so desperately needed today. His inspiring messages are reminiscent of other artists like KRS-One, MF Doom, and Common. One could easily tag Myers within the hip-hop genre, but he has previously referred to his work as World Soul with all its blended influences. World Spirit seems a more fitting term for one bestowed with the sublime gifts of the Holy Spirit like wisdom, healing, and tongues. Or to paraphrase Yeshuwa himself, he attempts to create ripples of "blessed vibes." Myers winds his way out of darkness towards the light and love found in His Savior, and he wants us all to join. His self-produced compositions are intelligent, complex, and intricately layered. His unique lyrical delivery ranges from an easy flow on tracks like "Live4" and "Hands" to the rapid fire found on the title track to a little of both on the likes of "Yikes!" His rhymes are mature and relatable. When the evangelical is this engaging and entertaining, delivering the Good News is a good thing for anyone who hears it. Remember this because you will hear it again, "It's like that 'cuz Yeshuwa made it!"
