Reception Signaling in a four out of five review by Rapzilla, Nyon Smith recognizes, "Maybe Growing Pains would have had a greater impact had the aesthetically darker tracks preluded the more mainstream 'feel good' tracks.

Michael Weaver, indicating for Jesus Freak Hideout in a four star out of five review, realizes, "While there are a couple of songs worthy of the skip button and one noticeably weak track, the remaining good songs are really good.

Json (rapper) Albums
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, pronounced ; also ) is an open standard file format and data interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs and arrays (or other serializable values). It is a common data format with diverse uses in electronic data interchange, including that of web applications with servers. JSON is a language-independent data format. It was derived from JavaScript, but many modern programming languages include code to generate and parse JSON-format data. JSON filenames use the extension .json. Any valid JSON file is a valid JavaScript (.js) file, even though it makes no changes to a web page on its own. Douglas Crockford originally specified the JSON format in the early 2000s. He and Chip Morningstar sent the first JSON message in April 2001. Naming and pronunciation The 2017 international standard (ECMA-404 and ISO/IEC 21778:2017) specifies "Pronounced , as in ' Jason and ...
