Opening like a ‘90s era Seal single, the disembodied voice of Canton Jones floating in calm clouds of cool electronica, the “G.O.D. Remix” suddenly pumps into full rhythm as CJ elucidates the various names given to God, from “papa” to “Elohim” to simply “the man upstairs.” After sharing an especially chilling testimony involving an unborn baby with no heartbeat, CJ concludes that no matter what you call him (he calls him G.O.D.), he’s there when you need him, “no matter when or where.”

CJ’s “I Call Him G.O.D.” was originally featured on tobyMac’s various artists Hip Hope 2009 CD (Gotee Records), released this past February. The single is being reprised for Canton Jones’ Kingdom Business 2, the long-anticipated follow up to his super-seller Kingdom Business. Although “G.O.D. Remix” is among his better tracks, and Jones is one of the most compelling artists out there, in my book his “Hater Day” is still tops.
