Eyezon - Lord Hold Me
Artist: Eyezon
Producer: Sean Lane
Album: A People Like Us
Label: Interdependent Media
Nelson Mandela may have ended Apartheid in South Africa with his election as the country’s first black head of state, but the effects of segregation continue to damage the country’s youth. Just ask Eyezon, who has risen above horrors of his environment, using his country’s racial divide and the harm it has inflicted on the people of South Africa as subject matter for his music. His new single, Lord Hold Me, is a flashback to his early days and the tough times he experienced. Producer Sean Lane mixes a heartfelt soul sample with a staid drum kick to back up Eyezon’s plea to the heavens. This poignant tune will be found on the emcee’s new album, A People Like Us, in stores January 27, 2009.
This song first appeared on the
Independent Chart
on September 15, 2008

This production from Sean Lane sounds like something the Dipset crew would have flowed over in '03. Ahhh, remember those days? I digress. Eyezon has great presence on his raps. I look forward to this new album.

Great production, with a good beat and a good background sample...also his flow is ok to me! The problem is that I don't go crazy for songs like this. They often have good productions and good flows, yes, but are also a bit repetitive, not having a catchy hook or a bridge which breaks the flow of the song! It's almost a banger anyway, the music is really amazing to me

I listened to this again, and im feeling it more and more no joke, this is firee, i agree Royalty, but to an extent, when a rapper says Jesus Please, or Lord Hold Me, he's amazing in my book, cause not many rappers use Jesus in there music or anything because there afraid it take away from there rep.. i would re-rate, but its to much work to go in and delete last rating isn't thatt right lol

This makes me think. Shout out to South Africa and anyone going through it in any way. Z this does sound like a Dipset beat from 03 I agree. This works for me. I just wish his voice was stronger on here, also the power of a bass line, if this had one, it would drive the feelin home.
