A typical rapper’s backstory is full of sin and vice, often with no apologies for those they have hurt. Having found a better way of life, however, Brooklyn rapper Nino Bless (previously heard on Scram Jones‘s Third Degree) hopes to change things. Sorry for all the wrongs he hath committed, Bless declares himself a Changed Man. Known for an apology anthem or two, Akon brings his street-sounding, heartfelt voice to the song’s hook, which is sandwiched in between his intro (sampling Bob Marley’s Johnny Was) and his bridge. Accented by Veterano‘s beat, Changed Man might very well change the way that conscious hip-hop is viewed. And that is something that nobody needs to be sorry about.

cb126405 DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 1382	Rating: cb126405's Top Rated Songs Definetely the better of the 2 Akon songs on here tonight. I love the Marley sample, and this song just fits well together. This almost sounds like a underground type of song, but you throw Akon on it and its got a shot at bigtime. Not much else to say about it, everything works.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 3835	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs I love the back story and the message here. This is the reason why emcees are made or broken; by taking changes to say what they want to say, and not caring who is listening to judging. Other on-the-rise rappers should take note. Akon doesn't nothing but make this a great listen, solid production. What up, Nino! DJ Booth on Twitter

BDF44 Resident DJ Total Ratings: 2267	Rating: BDF44's Top Rated Songs Well Done. I was shocked how this cat used the name" bless" my unsigned homie who you are gonna be hearing from really soon name is LESBlessd so we had a nice long convo bout that. Like my boy les, Nino speaks the truth, this beat and akon don't really do much for the song, but Nino is on my radar.

Mike Dreams Resident DJ Total Ratings: 2062	Rating: Mike Dreams's Top Rated Songs I like this a lot. Akon sounded real nice on here. I agree with the term "heartfelt" Burmy. That's exactly what it was. Nino Bless has an awesome conscious flow. I like the sincerity. This is what real hip hop and rap artistry is all about. This actually is the first time I've heard of Nino, so he'll be on my radar in the future. This is refreshing.

Akon isn't trying to be a Marley, he's just reaching back to grab some help from him, Lyfe. I've heard both this version and the Akon-only version, and while both are nice, Nino makes his version better.The production is wonderful and fits this song nicely. "This is the reason why emcees are made or broken; by taking changes to say what they want to say, and not caring who is listening to judging." Nice.

YungChino DJ Booth Member Total Ratings: 33	Rating: YungChino's Top Rated Songs Very, very great song to listen to and reflect on how people really live their life. Most people never apologize for something when they truly hurt someone. Its great to hear somebody take a lead to apologize and declare himself a changed man. Maybe then people would then take the second step behind Nino and apologize to those they have hurt. Bravo.
