Oracle Mag Review **
“Braille describes Cloud Nineteen as a place higher then Cloud nine, “Heaven itself”. Listening to this new album made me feel like I was there! It’s that good. In fact think I can say with confidence, this album is pretty close to flawless. This is raw organic Hip Hop and it will be a classic must have album! Most of the Cd’s that come out today may have a few good tracks and a bunch of fillers. This album is unskipable (Yes that’s a word).” **

“There are certain projects that leave an indelible stamp on the music scene. Cloud Nineteen is such a project, a collaborative work of art constructed by two highly respected artisans within the genre we know as hip hop. The purpose of this project is to prove that though dreams may be fulfilled on cloud nine, life is fulfilled through Christ on cloud nineteen.” **
Can’t Stop Fanatics Review **
“I recently wrote a piece for a future issue of The Find Magazine, in which I stated that Hip Hop had the wrong MC at it’s forefront & that for the good of Hip Hop’s image that had to be changed. Braille is the type of MC I was referring to as the lights that aren’t getting the shine that they deserve. When your this nice an MC gimmicks just aren”t necessary. Cloud Nineteen carries all the ingredients of what Hip Hop should be. Braille also shows an insightful depth in places that some might not grasp on the 1st spin. tracks like Broken Heart, Skepticold & especially Heart Of God, deserve the listeners concentration on what is being said & not just how he is saying it. Hip Hop is all about utilizing quality beats to express yourself, not expressing an image. For those that seek the former, Cloud Nineteen is the place ot start.” **

“Picking individual songs from “Cloud Nineteen” though is both a joy and an exercise in futility, since Braille doesn’t really kick weak stuff. Almost any song on “Cloud Nineteen” is banger so picking one song to say “this represents exactly what Braille is” will never be definitive as a result. One thing has never changed though from all the way back to 1999 - Braille has the “Heart of God” in his raps but just doesn’t fall into that cornball Christian stereotype no matter how hard people want it to fit. Braille is the truth y’all.”- **

“Your show up here in Seattle was great, I loved the vibe. I brought my God Daughters, who love your CD. (Track 3 is their fav yo:) always enjoy you when you do your thing on the mic, but the testimony about God taking care of you while your faithful to His purpose at this show really hit home and was timely. I love how you share your heart at your shows and give your 100% in service to those who make their way to be with you. I know there is fruit from your labor and people walk away encouraged and challenged. Be encouraged and bless you on your tour. ” - **

“What up Braille? I would just like to thank you and S1 again for coming out to San Jo and putting it down at the Drop In. My clients loved it, and I loved it. It has rekindeled my love for free form. It has inspired the center to pursue the healing and motivating aspects of music. Again much love. We are blessed men.” - **
BigSto Blog Review**
“This album is a classic and should be picked up fans and hip hop fans alike. The album has no filler so songs whatsoever and should get the listener to some introspection with where they are in life.” - **
