Glory Era is a Kingdom project that bridges the raw honesty of 90s boom bap with the laid-back bounce of early 2000s West Coast G-Funk. Built on dusty drum breaks, jazzy samples, Moog basslines, and talkbox hooks, the album captures the sound of testimony on the block — gritty yet full of grace.

Each track is scripture-laced and Spirit-filled: from the storytelling of Streetlights & Scriptures and Hood Psalms, to the cruising anthems Westside Testimony and Ride With the King. The project celebrates breakthrough with Victory Lap, sharpens faith with Holy Cipher, and closes in reverence with Amen (The Benediction).

This is more than music — it’s a soundtrack of redemption, a blend of street realism and gospel truth, and a bold declaration that the glory belongs to Jesus in every era.

"Straight Outta Grimetown is one of those mixtapes that you hear people talk about but only once you’ve heard it for yourself are you able to really understand what’s so special about not just the project but the artist behind it too. Illy easily delivered some of the best verses I’ve heard this entire year, on tracks such as ‘Trolling’ which is 2 minutes and 51 seconds of hard punchlines, and on ‘Ric Flair’ and ‘Pimp Pimp Hooray’ where he raps about taking over globally and “speaking Tswana to a French chick in expensive shoes”. With features from Youngsta CPT and his Revivolution peers including Impropoe and Tony Dangler that he later sends special shout outs to on ‘One Bless’, Illy Amin almost immaculately captured what it’s like living in the “City of Grime”, and takes you through the experience of rapping in some of the illest ciphers, spitting about his love for women and money as well as avoiding crime and the grind and effort needed to take a dream that you have and make it a reality all in under 45 minutes."

The battle of remaining true to your character no matter the different forms of social pressures you come across. Being a Good Guy will eventually pay off♥️

Good Guys (ft. Tosch)

Don Need You

Verse

Look , I'm sorry but I'm smoking cigarettes again ,
I need the charge after smoking this blunt and
I don know when this cycle will end 
Two straight bottles downed it one man , say that I don need you but I'd die to see you again
Girl I'm self destructing ,
I swear I'm losing myself but it's nothing 
I swear I'm losing myself but it's nothing
I swear I'm losing myself but it's nothing
Los 



( Dig deep dig deep )
I need to empty out my ashtray I mean sadly I been
( Thinking thinking )
It's not by surprise my heart is for you til' I die 
( Risky risky )
I need to be more careful with my time had your feelings in disguise you been 
( Missing missing )

Verse

Peace be to the powers that we reach deep
This is 16 hundred hours is on repeat 
This too much much you can lose love 
When it got a new heart ( heart ) for the crew love she might hide and do stuff ( stuff ) aye 
Swear she losing herself but it's nothing , she losing herself but it's nothing , she losing herself but it's funny ..

Hook .
End .

"Not conforming to the route that many underground J-Sec rappers are taking in terms of swinging to a slightly conscious audience, Illy Amin uses his great sense of humor and honesty to deliver lyricism at its best. Straight Outta Grimetown is easily in my top ten mixtapes released this year mainly because of its relevance to me and other rap fans." Hype Magazine, December 2014
