I can’t make a name up that would represent Him better”

“This song is unique; often worship songs have group singing like a choir and church bells, but this one is extremely different. When you first hear it, you'll be stunned by the incredibly retro hip-hop beats. The first lyric begins, "A M E N / Got me walking in your freedom / As you cast my sin," with powerful and lush rap rhythms added.

“From Kansas City, the proud religious son, husband, and rapper Eric Cohen released a brand new single titled ‘God Gave Me You’. A classic Hip-Hop track generated mainly by the theme of the beat using the old school sound in drums with a little bit of a melodic touch by guitars and also Eric’s flow and ad-libs insured the theme. The flow is raw which is good, yet it’s much rawer than needed and would’ve sounded relentlessly better if auto-tune was introduced through the mastering process. The rhymes are kinda corny and mess up the surprise factor of giving unrepeated, mind-tricking rhymes, given that the track is old school it needed some deeper vocabulary adding some complexity to the vibe and meaning. ‘God Gave Me You’ is obviously a love letter, written by Cohen to his SO, and simplicity was the key for him, but why not make it mass, deeper and vast to reach more listeners? The chorus is catchy and grabs the ears just by reading the title; you don’t read it, yo”
