In summary (all you may need to know):

1. DC Talk are back!! Yes, the music group with which tobyMac rose to fame is featured on the album. Read more on how DC Talk changed the Christian music scene in 1995 with "Jesus Freak" here » How 1995 Changed Christian Music Forever | AN NRT EXCLUSIVE EDITORIAL 

2. NF (a new Christian Hip Hop artist signed with Capitol CMG whose album "Mansion" is making waves amongst Gospel Hip Hop lovers, and which I'm voting in as this year's number one Gospel Hip Hop album) is also featured.  

3. Toby's music style is still as eclectic as ever. He is still flying high the dance-pop/electronica/techno flag.(No wonder his good mentoring has been felt in the recent albums by Mandisa and Jamie Grace.)  

4. I added two remixes of "Beyond Me" (the single from this album that was released early this year) which I'm sure you won't be finding elsewhere.***happy happy smiles***  

5. And, of course, the download link to the deluxe edition of the album is shared above.

The Deluxe Edition of the album (which I am sharing in the download link above) features 14 tracks (with 2 added remixes from my other sources) while the Standard Edition has 11 tracks. 

The Standard Edition track listing is as below;

Music style and acceptability

Toby's music genre has always been very unique. Quite a good number of Gospel artists now record music under the genre. They include; Mandisa, Group 1 Crew, Gamie Grace, 1 Girl Nation, Tori Kelly, Britt Nicole, Sada K... Just to name a few. The genre is widely received and played amongst young Gospel music lovers, and so, I guess, is (or will be) this album.

Generally, this album features a fusion of three major genres; dance-pop (commonly known as Christian electronic dance music), electronica and techno. There is some minimal touch of Hip Hop too.

Note: The song "Feel It" featuring Mr. Talkbox has that 90s soul-pop touch makes you feel like you're having some cool music from way back; and to add to that, it made me somehow crave a tobyMac+Danny Gokey collaboration. 

You'd also realize that there is a good balance between the number of male and female artists featured on the album.

Album art, album title and song titles

The album art (according to me) is not all that appealing to the eye. It tends to make you think the image had a problem downloading and it therefore came out with distorted pixels and an unclear resolution. But, anyway, looking keenly at the album art, you would notice that it tends to tell me, "Morris, remember that 'this is a not test'". 

Stylization (if that's what I can call it) seems to be the new trend in acquiring both artist names and album titles nowadays. Here are a few examples of stylized artist names: tobyMac, UNITED, for KING & COUNTRY & NEEDTOBREATHE e.t.c). So, I guess, Toby is just flowing with the trend on this one by deciding to name the album ***THIS IS NOT A TEST***.

The name of the album and the naming of the featured songs give in to a good balance between basic poetry, simple naming and right-on thematic integration. They are understandable and not that misleading.

Audibility, singability, fluidity, quality and flow of music

The album flows well from song to song and the production is well managed (considering that several artists and recording companies are featured on the album.)

Lyrical content

Marking from what I saw Toby do at the 44th Annual GMA Dove Awards (where he happened to win two awards), he still is really good at song-writing and mastering lyrical content. 
It is a good thing that Toby has ensured that his music is still theologically deep and Christ-centered regardless of the genre he uses (which many conservatives may choose to greatly oppose.)

Conclusion

***THIS IS NOT A TEST*** is a great album, especially for the millennial who would want to add some upbeat high tempo dance music that is still fully centered on Christ to their Gospel music collection. I hope you will be excited and encouraged after listening to it.

Relationships: 20 Things Everyone In A Relationship Needs to Know

Note: First of all, my approach to relationships remains Christ-centered. But if you ain't a Christian and have not accepted Him as your Savior (which I would still highly recommend you do) don't fret. This post will still be useful to you.
Another point is that: relationships and marriage take different approaches, and each one of them has its own unique challenges. Therefore, the things and findings I write here, will, to a big extend, cut across all relationships.

Read from the first part of these posts here: 10 Things All Singles Should Know.

*******
I have had a reasonable amount of fights between me and my girlfriend. (At this point, the word "fights" should actually be replaced with the word "arguments"; and the word "girlfriend" should also mean "fiance'e". To reiterate the latter, it may be because people tend to think the word "fiance'e" is fastidiously greater than the word "girlfriend". This is peculiarly stupid. I know of some ladies in what people would want to identify as "hi-fi relationships" that are treated less yet they are always being referred to as "fiance'e".)

I don't have a perfect relationship. We ain't perfect people, but we're working on it. (And lemme promise you that we ain't gonna be done with this "working on it" phase soon. I think it'll end when the Lord comes or there about.)

Also, I wrote sometimes back on how we tend to complicate relationships. You can read it here.

In order to avoid these complications, it may be important to make a few unwritten rules (yes, unwritten for the time being because once you write them, you may need to consult a lawyer or a court to solve disagreements) on how to treat each other as boyfriend and girlfriend (and do I really need to add that fiance and fiance'e still apply here? And that these two words are - according to me - overrated?)

Anyway, here are the things we need to know:-

1. Read the Bible and pray together often.
I discovered that you cannot be mad at someone and at the same time do devotionals together. It is impossible. Try it sometime. It is impossible. Taking care of your spiritual growth will help prevent most issues that come with its negligence.

2. Staying mad at each other will escalate issues. Lose the pride, take a step, bring back the calm and unity.
Allow me to say that most relationship problems are as a result of pride and unforgiveness. The Lord Jesus can help you both to shade the two and take a step to bring about peace and unity. Seriously, if I stay mad is it not me who's suffering and not the other person?

3. Listen. Don't just pretend you're hearing. Listen.
This is because good listening means taking action as pertaining the issues that were under discussion. Good listening is giving the speaker the full attention they deserve as they talk (it may be face to face, via phone calls or through messaging.) PS: Men always feel taken for granted and disrespected when ladies don't listen; while ladies feel unappreciated when men don't listen.

4. Solve your issues. Solve them now.
Procrastination is an enemy to progress. Really.

5. Prevent third parties from influencing every part of your relationship.
That friend or neighbor of yours that has too much say on how you love and treat your bae is not God. Give them boundaries. Stop them before you end up with no relationship at all.

6. Forgetting some things about your better half is unforgivable.
Did I just say that? Yes. It either means you are not as interested in them as you claim or you are self-centered (you think everything should be about you, and not anyone else.)
Every basic phone has a "notes" and "calender" app. Make use of them if you are the forgetful type.

7. Be open. Stay honest.
Men feel deceived when their lady doesn't open up on issues, plans and aspirations. Women feel played when the same is done to them. Lack of openness brings about a lack of trust, dishonest behavior, unfaithfulness and secretiveness.
Secrets keep on eating away your relationship bit by bit until it's gone.
Phone openness can be a tricky thing. Here is an article from The Standard proving this point to be true »» Phone Passwords Ruining Marriages.

8. Make your opinion on an issue known. This gives both of you a chance to discuss through issues to conclusion. Insinuations and unaired assumptions will always cause trouble and doubts.

9. Your relationship is not a "Googleable" thingy.
Blogs (like this one), websites and online forums help us become aware of a few important things in the opposite sex and bring to perspective various pertinent issues. They are useful and good. But they should never substitute the age-old need to ask your bae personal questions like: "What do you really like about a man/woman?" "What is unique about you as an individual?"

10. Don't make a promise unless you know you can keep it.
This is right on, isn't it? Keep plans to yourself until you are sure they can be actualized.

11. Do something weird (but good) in the open together. Have fun.
Have a balance between fun and work.
Throw in some fun. Say "I love you" in many other different ways. Too much fun makes a relationship less serious and less focused, and too much work makes it a bit more boring. It is challenging to strike a balance between the two, but it's doable.

12. If something matters to someone, don't ask why it does; just know it does and appreciate it.
We were all created different. We have different preferences in life. Each one of us feels really good when people don't question us for the things we love no matter how petty. No? They may be petty, but that's just us.

13. It takes two to make it work.
A one sided relationship will always be like a one-wheeled bicycle: possible but very exhausting. When both of you take steps to make it work, that's when a flame of unity and trust is lit.

14. There is a thin line between jealousy and insecurity, between kindness and manipulation.
Every relationship has its own way of looking at this. There is no universal way of looking at jealousy or insecurity, but you'll know where you stand once you experience it. The words above can be used interchangeably from relationship to relationship. To some people, acts of kindness show "umekaliwa chapati", to some it's just fulfilling another person's love language; to another relationship, jealousy would mean being overprotective and showing concern and care, yet to another it may mean just that: jealousy. We can't make a one-sided conclusion on such matters, can we?

15. Only the two of you should have the final say on what you think is right or wrong for your relationship.
Listen to advice. Seek guidance. But in the long run, it all comes back to you two. And you two will be accountable both to men and God on whatever the consequences come out of your choices.

16. Make your expectations and intentions for the relationship known from the word go.
Friendships, friendzones and "just friends" are three very different things. Know where you fall before trying to yell at one another. Talk about what you expect from each other in the relationship. Is it just a friendship with no marriage in the vicinity? Or a friendship with focus on marriage? Or an open relationship? (By the way, what, in this world, is an open relationship?)

17. Long distance relationships need to be handled with care.
Of all relationships, these are the most brittle. They need discipline, a higher level of trust and understanding, patience, openness etc. (One mistake and everything goes tumbling out of control.) If you can't manage the challenges that come with a long distance relationship, don't allow your heart to stumble into one! Please, don't.

18. Define a few roles for each person in the relationship and the reason for the relationship by using the following guide questions:

(a) Why am I in this relationship?
(b) How am I supposed to behave or treat the other person in this relationship? and
(c) What is my role in this relationship? What are my responsibilities?
I think the place we fail most is here. It also ends up messing up our marriages: everyone is expected to do everything or to do nothing. Then, BOOM!! blame games and fights arise.

19. Don't be foolish enough to allow your past relationship/s to ruin your present one.
Leave the past into the past. Only bring it up IFF necessary. Loudly comparing your present bae with your past one is a real recipe for disaster. If you wanna go back into the past, why are you here? Huh?

20. Only discuss the challenges in your relationship with someone you both completely trust.
Or it will bring in another problem again: gossip. Or stale advice. Or mistrust. Or communication blackouts. Or lack of openness. Or strife. Or blame games...

Yes people, I'm using the above to work on my relationship. I hope you'll be working on yours too.

Short Stories: Bad Hair Days

Guys, have you ever ditched your barber? I mean, that guy who's been shaving your hair for kinda ten years?

Man, it feels like divorce. (No pun intended though).

I happened to ditch mine sometime back. Relocation things, you know. I've not gotten over it yet.

This is a story of various occasions when I happen to run between three barber shops...

********
Hair is like a car: some men can take real good care of it yet some some don't give a... (no cussing please.)

Okay.

There are some barbers who just wouldn't know how to handle your hair. (Yeah ladies, men too have hair, you should go ask Jeff Koinange). The barber either messes it up by shaving it too low, cutting and trimming too deep or charging you too high (as if that one shave is gonna last a year!)

Because of the above, men decide to keep to one barber. This ensures that our heads always look almost the same after every shave; unless you wanna visit another barber and you are forced to change your route of travel or you pretend  that umehama hiyo town.

Let's say, after ditching my barber, I've had a total of three barbers dealing with my hair. You see, ladies and gentlemen, this, to a man, is like veeery serious. It is way too serious.

I've had my hair messed up with.

Well, there is this day when Barber Number 2 really messed up my hair. You know those times when you meet your bae a day after shaving and all she's doing is touching your head or something? Yes. The day when she's like, "Kwani ulinyoa wapi raundi hii?" and you're like, "Si ni pale pangu tu pa kawaida". The lie comes out so glamorously. And after realizing it, you repent silently and inwardly. In the course of your inward mini-repentance, you happen to apologize for ditching your "original" barber.

Man, it feels bad.

"Huyo mtu alikunyoa vibaya. Alikunyoa kama mtoto wa Class 7."

"Class 7? Aaaiii!"

Then you would match to the mirror and look at yourself again: 

"Come on bae, mi naona niko tu sawa." You would reiterate in defense.

"Akiendelea kukunyoa hivo heri basi uanze tu kuvaa uniform: kinyasa na T-shirt ya PE ili uwe ukitoka kinyozi na kuishia kucheza hiyo mpora ya makaratasi..."

After such a bad hair and head experience, do you know what you'll do next time my brazzzas? You'll walk back to Barber Number 1 (your hallowed "original" barber) and tell him you were out of town kidogo that's why he didn't see you last time. There. Problem solved.

But there are times when the story escalates. It is especially when you've visited those "foreign" barbers (like I did) in the name of kwani yeye ndo barber pekee hii town?.

See my experiences below; 

When you shave at night 

The curse of forsaking your barber becomes very real at such a time: the new barber will end up dealing with your precious head like a kid deals with a mango when struggling to peel it.
The barber, just like the kid, is thinking: it's at night, he (or mom won't notice - for the kid) won't even notice how badly I peeled this head. 

You may have closed your eyes in ambient meditation as he shaves you, not so keenly looking at the reflection of your shave in the mirror to see the progress and give corrections here and there, probably thinking about what will go well with the chicken or meat yenye ilibaki jana after dinner. You may be in this state: "Ama nipike tu chapo. Nipike chapo tatu. Aaaargh, hiyo ni stress. Nitapika tu rice. What if mgeni akitokea? Aaaaargh, atajisort tu..." 

And the barber will be doing his thing on your head.

It becomes real in the morning when you are doing your ndevu shave: "Haiya! Ona sasa!! Aka kanywele alikaacha hapa kafanye nini? Kwani I'm competing with Balotelli for hairstyles?" Or you may end up thinking that you now have a role in "Fear the Walking Dead".
Nasty hairstyle.
And that morning, you become a tiny fake barber for the sake of your tarnished countenance.

When you happen to ask Barber Number 2 or 3: "How much should I pay?" after being shaved.
A story was once told me by a friend who had chosen to ditch his "original" barber just for a change. (Like I dared to do.) He had visited these awesome barber shops that look really cool. (Yeah, I happened to visit one of them when I was new in town, and man, the dent they left in my pocket made me decide to shave only after I've located a pocket-friendly barber shop. Ni kama alinilipisha plus pesa ya rent!!)

So, this friend of mine slowly and steadily entered one of those fine barber shops. I'm sure he went in and greeted those fake ninjas: "Semeni bana? Nimeamua kupitia kiasi nipunguze uzee." And typical of such fake ninjas, they would just smile, pull you one of those revolving arm chairs, get a towel, wrap it around your neck and give you special treatment. (New barbers always tend to treat you extra well in order to retain you as their customer.)

So my friend sat down. (When you're on such a chair huwa hufikirii juu ya chapo na chicken. Naaah. Huwa inafikiria vitu mufti mufti.)

I'm sure as my friend closed his eyes thinking about stuff, (because there is no way you make friends with a new barber on the first date with his shaver and pretend to like each other; ati you're talking football, politics, family and stuff, no way) he was thinking of becoming an MCA or some mutated version of Larry Madowo. (Yeah, these chairs seem to want to make you a politician, a hallowed journalist or some news anchor.)

You would probably see my friend smile after imitating Larry in his meditation: trying to forge that wide smile while wearing a tiny suit. Or after pretending to be an MCA: "We are going to pass a motion to impeach this governor!! Tunataka atuambie pesa ya sports alipeleka wapi" yet you have never been a sportsman for kinda forever.

Later, after the shaving was done, he happened to ask him the wrongest question in shaving history: "Boss, sasa nalipa ngapi!?" (There is this unwritten barber shop rule: pay him/her what you always pay your barber. Akikuuliza mwambie: "Hiyo ndio mi hunyolea.")

He should have missed his supper that night. Plus his breakfast the next day. And a bit of lunch. I bet my friend fasted a whole day to compensate for the money loss... Money doesn't come easy, you know.

When power disappears while getting shaved.
This should be the worst case scenario. 

Wait.
There is this day, at 1pm-ish when I visited my "original" barber to get my hair shaved. I rarely shave mchana mchana but I don't know what on earth caused me to want to shave at 1pm.

So I went in, pulled myself the chair and sat there waiting for my hair to be serviced.

Then after 2 minutes of servicing, power went off! Acha nikwambie hakuna mini-nightmare kama ile niliona kwa mirror hapo kwa my original barber shop!!
He had shaved me halfway, down one side of my head. It was kinda half mohawk. Half mohawk, my friend.
Then I started imagining things: "Sasa what if stima zipotee mpaka kesho? So itabidi nimefunga kitambaa kwa kichwa ile style ya Arafat ili nifike home poa? Oooh, nitaomba kofia. Yeah, kofia itawork. But kwani nitavaa cap mpaka kesho? Na hiyo cap ikianguka nikipandda gari jioni je?"

You see? Stima isiwahi potea ukinyoa.

But again, I dread waking up one day and all I have on my head is this:

I think the only thing I may do that week is going to church. :-) 

Please, guys, have a good hair day... And, eehh, don't ditch your barbers.

Relationships: 10 Things All Singles Need to Know

10 things all singles should know

As some kind of memorabilia, lemme talk about singlehood today.

About a year or so ago, I was single. (Yeah, I don’t know how you will look at it but I just have to say it for the sake of this post.) I didn't have a lady attached to my brow and we saying to each other that we belong to each other forever.

(Oh well, that may also not be the complete state of things here because there is no attachment – or binding factor - a Christian boyfriend has to his Christian girlfriend except that of loving her and being committed to what he says to her until marriage. Most things here are just lip service, reliability and committing oneself to the words you say through actions. Marriage is where the real commitment counts. It is only then you become sure that; he/she is mine and I am completely theirs before both God and man.)

Back to my story…

I was free - sort of - to mingle. I was free to be me without thinking of “us”. I was free to make decisions without thinking of a second or third party. See? Singlehood gave me lots of “freedom”. And I enjoyed it while it lasted.

A lot has happened since that period of time. I am not married yet but bet-you-me I neither can write nor act nor speak like someone still unattached. I am into a different kind of freedom and enjoyment now: one that includes another person and from a distance. It is unique in its own way.

But looking at it, there were a few things I considered right then that made me to survive (so to say) as a single young Christian guy. I am listing them below for anyone who would care to read and note them down. Because they were useful to me, I bet they’ll be useful to someone else.

Note: I will call this the first edition of 10 Things so-and-so in a relationship-related-way should know. I will soon be doing another one for guys in relationships. And, er, just to be clear, the word “single” as used in this post means “not in a relationship with a member of the opposite sex.” Also, by sharing these tips, it doesn’t really mean that Morris is now “Mr. Perfect” but that I love sharing what I have experienced in order to help guys see beyond who they are right now. I help you look into the future with clear eyes.

So single people, here are the few things you should know; 

1. Stop grieving over the mistakes you made in your previous relationship. Do it before you even desire to get into another relationship. 
If you have never been in a relationship before, the better. The less number of relationships you have had before, the better. This means you have less baggage to deal with, less misunderstandings in your coming relationship because “you happened to talk to your ex” etc. etc.If the only thing you’ve ever had that is close to a relationship is a crush on someone, trim off from your mind those funny desires before you start anew. Your heart and mind need to be cleared off of any sort of attachment to the opposite sex that keeps you bound before you are free and ready for another meaningful relationship.Stop re-living memories, oh-I-should-have-done-this kinda feelings and regrets in your mind. Free yourself of all the baggage from your previous relationship or from your fantasy world. Then step out confidently into a new world of possibilities. 

2. To be a better person, you need to stop looking for someone who would “complete you”. 
You know how as a writer and singer I really wished I’d get a lady who sings and writes? A lady who’s into “reading music” from synth to synth like a book? I found out that I was actually limiting myself to a fantasy and blocking all the fabulous God-made ladies around me from having a share of my fakeness. (Duuh!!). No one completes us better than Christ does. If you are incomplete, or if you are convinced that you are incomplete, allow Jesus to fix you up first before you tamper with anyone’s life. 

3. It's okay not to be in a relationship. Yeah, really. 
I met with a few friends after my break up and told everyone: “I just need a three year break from relationships. I’ll be alright. I’ll be Morris.” I guess it went well. It made me stop looking around “hunting” for ladies and wondering who is that lady the Lord “was putting in my way for me to nyemelea”. To achieve this, I had to stop falling to what society says concerning single people. I realized that being single is just as awesome as being in a relationship. There is nothing to be ashamed of. (This would also help a person’s self esteem when society starts haunting them with questions and looks. Look them in the eye and tell them you are okay until you meet the other person.) 

4. Being choosy and waiting for the so-called soul mate is both a waste of time and opportunity to get into a meaningful relationship. 
Side note: I am doing a post on open-mindedness which will cover a bigger part of this point, so watch out for it. 
You see, soul-mates don’t exist. Yeah guys, someone who makes you feel in and over your head and happy 24/7 doesn’t exist. Someone who really “gets you” doesn’t exist. You may fall in love and feel that way for the first few days but you’ll realize with time that the other person is just as messed up as everyone else. People learn to know and understand you at different levels until they know you a bit more than everyone else. But this only happens if you allow them to. Isn’t this how normal down-to-earth relationships are built? 
But, again, don’t fall for any fake person that comes your way. You are worthy more than that. But aspire to make friends with like-minded people. Make friends with no strings attached. In them, you will find the right person. 

5. Make yourself better. Change and be ready for a meaningful relationship. 
I figured out that this is the best way to let that special person find you ready for a relationship and later marriage. Maybe God isn't bringing that special person into your life because; 
(a)   You may end up messing up everything because you aren't ready (emotionally/psychologically, morally and physically) 
(b)   You are tagging your happiness on another person by thinking that once they come, you'll change in every other place of your messed up life. 
Truth be told, if you won’t change now out of your own free will, you can’t change for anybody else. This, my friend, may remain to be an eternal source of fights in your coming relationship. 

6. Act single, not as if you are in a relationship. That's how you attract fellow genuine single people. 
You know how ladies who are neither in a relationship nor engaged are carrying rings around pretending to be in relationships or engaged? (It actually is always out of wanting us to envy them.) Such ladies (or those guys who keep lying to us about their non-existent better halves) are actually shading off good people to be in relationships with. By pretending you are in a relationship, a sensible person of the opposite sex will stop pursuing you and “fish” somewhere else. I will always confess I am single when I am, and say I am in a relationship when I am (no matter how messed up it may be.) 

7. Be ready for something a little more than what we like mistaking as love. Love is a verb, not just words (I hear them say.) True love wears an apron called sacrifice. 
My first relationship taught me this one thing that I can never forget: loving someone isn't enough; love should scream so loud within me that it makes me ready to die for the other person. Only then can I be selfless enough to love sincerely and with all I am. 
(Even the Bible says the same thing to those who would dare say they love Christ: 1John 5:2 “By this we know that we love the children of God: whenever we love God and obey his commandments.” The sacrifice here is in the obedience we show to His commands. But again, theologically speaking, love is not equal to obedience…) 

8. Don’t shout your frustrations and “okayness” on social media. It is a façade, and you should know better. 
People care less for single people who are always telling them that “they are proud to be single.” Come on, who are you kidding? We know it is a lie. You are seeking attention, sympathy, recognition and pity. You’ll get them, but to know good avail. Instead, just be okay, we’ll know it when we see it. 

9. Your prayer (and fasting) life should be less of “Lord, I want a great gentleman/lady” and more of “Lord, make me a great gentleman/lady” 
In fact, stop praying for a boyfriend/girlfriend. It is messing up your spiritual life. It is leaving you burnt out, desperate and frustrated. I have always chosen to pray more for my spiritual growth than for anything ese; once my spiritual life is in line, everything else will fall in place. Not the other way round. 
God cares for you. For us. For every part of your life. So stop limiting His power to one area of your life: relationships. Our purpose on this earth is much greater than our relationships. Therefore, nothing should replace it. 

10. Stop pretending that you don’t want to be in a relationship because you do. Desire to be in one. Just don’t whine about it 24/7. 
I have said this before: as far as I am a devoted Christian, Jesus is not my wife; nor is He a husband/boyfriend to any of you ladies. Jesus is our Lord and Savior. Stop lying to people that “you are married to Jesus.” What is that? 
But sit down yourself and tell yourself that you are going to be in a relationship on of these fine days. It works to brighten up your hope.

There you go, singles.
