One of the biggest names in Christian hip-hop, PRO has been putting out quality music for many years now, creating a fan base that is not necessarily limited to those so spiritually inclined. Hailing from Pontiac, Michigan, he went to college in Tennessee, and his sound is clearly influenced by the Southern vibe, with plenty of high-octane production and beats that would sound right at home somewhere below the Mason-Dixon line. The follow-up to his well-received 2008 debut The Blackout, Redemption is even stronger, brimming with righteous wordplay and ear-tickling production built primarily on layered synths and handclap-laden drums. Twenty tracks deep, featuring collabos with Lecrae, Conviction, and Brothatone, among others, be sure to check for "Merked," "Hold Me Down," and "Murder Swag."
