With all the terrible things going on in the world today, it doesn't take much to see we are living in the last days. Being a "in season" artist, Twiceborn gives us his play by play with the "4th quarter". Twiceborn pours his heart out on this EP and shows his "all work" mentality by not wasting time with unnecessary tracks.Many artist don't believe in EPs anymore, but would rather put out mixtapes. Twiceborn shows artists and fans that EPs can still be done and treasured. Let's get into the game.

1.GET IT FOR MYSELF-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP BEAT-3 EARS FAVORITE BAR-"DECEIVED BY THE LIES, LET'S CALL IT DREAM WORLD" Twiceborn starts the album off right with "Get it for myself". One could call this the "preshow" of the album. Twiceborn gives a gripping account of his life and how God's grace is for everyone. The production works well on this track. The organ-like keys gives a "church testimony" feel to the song. The sound is eerie, but blends in well with Twiceborn's delivery of living in the "dream world" of life. This track truly sets the tone for the album and sets the tone for the concept of it as well.

2.LETZ EAT-LYRICS-2 SPOONS UP BEAT-3 EARS FAVORITE BAR-"WE TRYING TO REACH THE WORLD LIKE A ETHERNET CABLE" Twiceborn takes us to the "1st quarter" on "Letz eat". This track is like the "epilogue" of "Get it for myself" or even a part 2 of it. This is a very powerful song for new converts of the gospel. There are some days when new Christians may come down off of the "high" of being saved and this song provides them with a extra push to keep them on cloud nine. Twiceborn lets us know he eats off of the blessings that God provides and is starving to give the people the word at all times.

3.HOLD ON-LYRICS-2 SPOONS AND A BOWL BEAT-4 EARS FAVORITE BAR-"BABY BE STRONG, YOU DON'T HAVE TO STEAL TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON" This is a very powerful song. This is probably my favorite song off of the album. Twiceborn continues to stay in the flow on "hold on". This track is filled with imagery that would make hip hop heads give a thumbs up. This track puts you in the mind of some of 2pac's best visual tracks like "Dear mama" and "Brenda's got a baby". This track is a "repeat offender" and should get a video.

4.ALL WORK-LYRICS-2 SPOONS AND A BOWL BEAT-4 EARS FAVORITE BAR-"I LIVE AND DIE WHAT I SPIT, DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GAME?" Twiceborn and his crew goes in on "All work". This track gives some of the most lyrical bars on the album. Twiceborn's voice on the track really makes the track. This production is really good and gives a dirty feel-but that's the intention when you are working. You got to get your hands dirty, when your truly working.

5.4TH QUARTER-LYRICS-2 SPOONS AND A BOWL BEAT-4 EARS FAVORITE-"CHRIST PUT THEM IN THE GAME AND GIVE THEM WHAT THEY NEED" We have finally got to the "4Th quarter". This track was a great track to end the album. The football analogy really works well on it and the production gives a football feel. Twiceborn already has a video for this track (wink wink, I've already reviewed it-so go back and check out that review) and the very things he speaks about in this track-he brings out in his video as well as his day to day life.

Overall, I give this album TWO SPOONS UP. This is a very good album, but a even better concept album. Twiceborn really stays within the concept and every track lines up with a preshow feel, 1st quarter feel, 2ND quarter feel, 3rd quarter feel and then a 4Th quarter feel. This album tells a story, almost like a movie, of the fall and rise of Twiceborn. This Ep works, because it makes the fans want to know and get more from Twiceborn. It may not be as lyrical as most would want it to be, but that's not the theme of this album. Twiceborn's storytelling skills are some of the best I've heard. I can tell that all of the things that he raps about-either he's been through it or has seen it. This album is a exciting story of how God can turn someone around and "put them in the game" for the great commission. With that in mind, Twiceborn doesn't look like he's ready to take a loss in the "4Th quarter".
