Chris Brown, August Alsina, Future & Jeremih. “Benediction” is a sensational urban ballad that is relatable to anyone who’s ‘been through’ and ultimately, ‘made it’ – conquered their adversity.'''Hold You Down'' DJ Khaled ft. Guest rapper Rick Ross plays the role of Alsina’s ‘Amen Corner,’ on the third verse, as his come-up includes “Rightin’ all my wrongs for these homies out here thuggin’ / Pray for benediction…” He expresses remorse for his sins, seeking forgiveness and a deeper relationship with God. Through all of the mess, he seeks a better life – clean living.
On the second verse, he references family tragedies, most notably the murder of his brother. These include dreams without the possibility of becoming a reality, crying internally, yet being forced to exude a tough exterior, and of course, hustling, and all the ills that accompany it. On the first verse, August Alsina eulogizes being poor: “Paying our respects to being broke, hope he’s in a better place.” He goes on to speak of the many hardships he experienced growing up on the streets. Where’s the atonement? Why, his come-up, earning success as a musician – getting out of the hood.
For Alsina, his emotionally-driven approach is understandable, given the rough and tumble background that he describes on his gospel-tinged R&B record, “Benediction.” While “Benediction” wasn’t the main attraction from his 2014 debut album Testimony, it ranks best, most personal, and most thoughtful numbers. It’s a trait that characterizes so many of us in a cruel, hurtful, and often unforgiving world. “Started off in the streets / We would take collection from the fiends / People dying all around me / So I gave you my testimony.” August Alsina often wears emotions on his sleeves musically and personally.
