Rehab is a CD that conveys the message of rehabilitation, redemption and recovery. Christian Rap is the newest thing and it’s starting a trend for young rappers to be a part of. Moore CD tells a story walking into the Christian life that your rehab center so every song on the CD is related to something that as a Christian you would have to face when they are trying to get their lives together. This CD is catered to a mix of audiences with the blend genres with rock, rap, and r&b. The first song on the CD “Check In” is an amazing song that set the tone by personifies sin as a lustful woman. Moore is painting pictures of sin destructive patterns with his words.

When faced with all the challenges you need the next song which is “Divine Intervention” This song just lets you know that their always a hand that out there who will help you. Songs like his first single “High” really paint the picture of what being hook on bad things can do to you. One of favorite songs off the CD would have to be “Children of the Light.” This song has a rock / reggae anthem. This song put a smile on my face.
