FRESH OUT THE PIN............. June 29, 2006
FRESH OUT THE PIN, IT's OBVIOUS THAT LYFE JENNINGS IS IN IT TO WIN!!!! And 268-192 is a Touchdown and a Field Goal that could win the Game. Lyfe is what they call a very motivational speaker. His choice of subjects on this album cannot really relate to anyone under the age of 13, But quality of every song could have anyone of any age humming and reciting his tunes. The way he pin points certain subjects on this album can really make you say to yourself more than once, "Damn, He's Right"!!!
THIS ALBUM IS A MUST HAVE!!!!!!

Just to clarify, it wouldn't be exactly fair to call Lyfe Jennings a new artist. This album actually came out in August 2004, so it's inaccurate for people to call it one of the best albums of 2005 (but don't worry; I didn't know that either). Anyway, Lyfe was in prison for ten years, but he turned himself around, picked up a guitar, and produced an album that takes us through his trials and tribulations, Lyfe 268-192.
"Must Be Nice" is only a taste of how great this album is. From there Lyfe further explores his vocal skills, which are good but also a little surprising because admit it, if you didn't know him and you saw him in the studio, wouldn't you think he was a rapper? (It's not unlike when people first saw Jaheim.) The spiritual "Made Up My Mind" is the best example of this, because what he does with his voice is just, well, just listen to it.
Another thing I love about this album is how creative the ideas for songs are. There are tracks that successfully have Lyfe and the woman trading off their stories, whether it be meeting up with a old crush years later ("The Way I Feel About You") or seeing how deep the love is, no matter how risky ("Hypothetically"). And I have NEVER heard a song that is so real and introspective as "She Got Kids", which describes how things could be if a man gets in a relationship with a woman who already has children. But "Greedy" isn't far behind either (although some single mothers might not like it). I couldn't get into "Stick Up Kid", though.
I also thought that Lyfe's narration at the end of every song was a little unnecessary. But those two things don't get in the way of this great album. So pick it up and I guarantee that after one listen, you'll be pro-Lyfe.

I got this CD and am addicted to it. He has an amazing voice and lets it shine. He tells a story thru each song- the lyrics are deep. If you are into soul and r&b you will love this. It is worth the money. This artist is under rated.
BEST CD I'VE PURCHASED ALL YEAR October 11, 2005

I finally bought Lyfe's album after the local radio station started playing "Stick Up" Kid. I know I was a little late purchasing the album. I'm so mad at myself for not getting it earlier. This has to be the best album I've bought in a really long time. It's even better that my John Legend album (I skip around on that CD but with Lyfe, I love ALL the songs). After having the CD for a few weeks, I was thrilled to discover that he was performing at a local venue. I waited a couple hours to see him, but it was WELL worth the wait. He sounded really good, unlike a lot of artists who perform live. He seemed very down to earth and really involved the audience in the concert. I'm looking forward to his national tour soon. The CD is definitely worth the money.
