Epiphany is the second studio album by Christian rapper Manafest. It was released July 19, 2005 under BEC Recordings.[4][5] The release also marks Manafest's first label album, as well as the start of his long-time affiliation with BEC.

The album contains the single "Skills" featuring Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch.[6][7]

Critical reception

As the album was Manafest's first step out of an independent status, the release only garnered a few glances from professional music sites and reviews. They were however, generally positive.

About.com applauded the album and stated: "On his debut release with BEC Recordings, Manafest brings a variety of beats to the table. Some serious rock licks back him up on some cuts, while he goes a little old school on others and then shifts to a more modern hip-hop sound on a few more. Lyrically, Manafest covers ground from witnessing to others to the pressures of living in the 21st century to living for God. Overall, this is a strong debut and it makes a big statement for this young artist."[1] Paul Portell of Jesus Freak Hideout went on to say that "Manafest's debut may take more than a listen or two to fully appreciate his talent and attempts at songwriting. If you're a music fan that isn't too picky on diversity within the confines of an individual project that fuses rock and hip-hop together, then Epiphany is the project for you."[2]

Awards

The album was awarded "Rap/Hip-Hop Album of the Year" for the 27th GMA Canada Covenant Awards.[8] The same year, the song "Let It Go", off the album, also won "Rap/Hip Hop Song of the Year".[8] The following year, the music video for the song "Rodeo" was nominated for "Video of the Year".[8]

Notes

  • Epiphany was released on July 19, which also happens to be Manafest's birthday.[9]
  • The hidden track on track 13 entitled "Jimmy" was later released on the iTunes deluxe edition of Epiphany as its own track.[4]
  • The deluxe edition bonus track "Mind Master" was a demo song created in 2000, a year before Manafest's debut EP Misled Youth.[4]
  • The song "Let It Go" is not to be confused with Manafest's 2015 single "Let Go", featuring Dave Stovall of Wavorly.[10]
  • In second verse of the song "Manafesto", Manafest makes a reference to his old nickname "Speedy" from his days as a skater when he states "They call me speedy, so I'm easy on the breaks".[11]
