In today's CHH community it seems like Reach Records takes the lion's share of the media and fan attention, and artists like Lecrae are highlighted above all others. While Reach has definitely been releasing solid rap and hip-hop albums, Clear Sight Music is home to a different 116 alum. Flame is following up his solid outing The 6th with an even better entry into his discography with Royal Flush (the highest possible hand in poker). While Flame has definitely had success, with several Stellar and Dove award nominations to his name, it seems this industry titan is still wrongly overlooked by some. The talented rapper is dropping his seventh album and in his words, 'He [Jesus] set us up to win. We've got the highest hand. If you're not a Christian, you can receive the Royal Flush through Christ.'
Flame opens things up with Serge on the anthem 'Break the Building.' It's the perfect opening song and it sets the tone for the rest of the album. 'R.I.P. to the old me,' kicks off the KB-featured 'All In.' The lyrics Flame raps in the opening verse explain what Royal Flush is all about with a complete poker analogy, 'Got a ten, got a jack, queen, king, and ace; that's a royal flush (If you ain't know). What that mean, man, what that mean? Rally 'round me, man, ven aqui. All that mean is King Jesus gave us everything on that tree. Gave us everything when He died. Gave us the winning hand when He rose.' It's a track that embodies what the album is about and is guaranteed to please. 'Sanctuary' features Mike Real and a club feel and is another impressive track. One of the album's best has to be 'Game Over.' It also features a slight club sound with Flame spitting fast and tight. The song really opens up as it slows for a section that is similar to a breakdown in nature. The slower 'Maranatha' shows an honest side of Flame who raps about this struggles and prays, 'Have You forgotten, have You forgot me? Lord, have You forgotten, please remember me. Oh, Lord, maranatha (an Aramaic word roughly translated 'come, o Lord').' After this is a two and a half minute mini-sermon by Ryan Fullerton.
V. Rose's huge voice can be heard clearly on another stand-out track in 'Read Em & Weep,' however, it's a bit disappointing that she was only used once this time around. On 'Stackin,' Flame talks about the love of money and dangers therein. In the intro he says, 'Man, it's deep. It's deep when you think about how much people love money. It's almost like they're in a romantic relationship with it.' After 'Stackin' comes what is probably the best song on the entire album. K-Drama and D-Maub bring it hard with Flame on 'Mixed Up.' This banging track should cement your love for this album, especially when D-Maub takes the mic and raps at a breakneck pace for the best guest appearance by far. There's no doubt that when he drops the line, 'So living for G-O-D is the safest route. Dum-dilly-dilly-dum-dilly-dilly-dum; wisdom, we got it so come and get you some,' a smile will come across your face. Another Ryan Fullerton message follows that is possibly more powerful than his first. Finally, this fantastic album comes to a close with the NF-featured 'Start Over.' The lyrics are deeply personal to Flame and speak of second chances found in Christ no matter what you do. From the soulfully sung lyrics to the intimate raps, 'Start Over' is an enjoyable song and the perfect cap to Royal Flush.
Royal Flush is a portable toilet waste disposal product that uses bacteria and free enzymes to destroy odors and waste at a molecular level. Eliminate waste and odors naturally with Royal Flush. This portable waste treatment disgests solids and destroys odors without using formaldehyde or other harmful chemicals. ROYAL FLUSH is the third in the series, and in the sweltering summer of 1932, in the thick of the global depression, Lady Georgiana is in even more dire financial straits. Still residing at the impoverished Rannoch house in London, her gig as a cleaning maid (light cleaning only!) has dried up, what with her clients having fled to cooler climates.
Flame is on top of his game and is releasing what will arguably be his best album to date. Royal Flush brings a positive message of what God has done in the life of a Christian and the promise of what He can do in the life of a non-believer. While Flame is nowhere near an unnoticed commodity, hopefully this album will garner him some award wins and not just nominations; it's definitely good enough. There are still three months to go before December, but all appearances are that Flame has released the best hip-hop album of the year with Royal Flush, not to mention one of year's best in general. Sure, it may be cheesy to say, but Flame is definitely on fire.

VS Audio Royal Flush Dual Overdrive Pedal Review
I’ve had a chance to test hundreds of overdrive pedals over the years. I’ve also owned and tested many dual overdrive pedals but many of them fall short for several reasons. Either they are too complicated, they feature weird and unnecessary switching, they have a noise gate that doesn’t always work, or they simply don’t sound very good stacked. I wonder sometimes if people put enough thought and real world testing goes into these dual pedals sometimes.
Stat Royal Flush Reviews
Take all the issues mentioned above and reverse it. The VS Audio Royal Flush pedal is a dream for folks like me who believe simple is better. The pedal features two channels which are in theory very similar to each other. Batman v superman dawn of justice free online. The right side of the pedal is where the “off-clean” tone lives. It reminds me somewhat of a Tubescreamer without the high end roll off but with a lot less overdrive. The right side makes it very, very easy to get the off-clean tone that you can’t get usually without cranking your tube amp to 8.
The Right channel kind of takes off where channel one ends. You get a very similar tonality but with more gain. If you’re like me then you’ll probably want to start with a great clean tone and have an overdrive pedal that doesn’t re-eq your amp. You can literally get a great off-clean tone without having to modify the settings on your amp. This is one thing I can’t say for a lot of other pedals on the market.
The left channel then kicks your tone into overdrive (literally!). You’ll get more gain, more sustain, and overall a lead tone that is perfect for blues, classic rock, and also some modern rock sounds at higher gain settings.
The tone controls are musical without being shrill or weird. Trust me, you’ll get a killer tone with everything set to even 12 O’Clock on the Royal Flush overdrive and then you can shape your top end with the tone controls depending if you use humbuckers or single coils.
Overall
This a very easy to use, versatile, and great sounding dual overdrive pedal. The attention to detail in the gain staging, build quality, and overall design is amazing. This pedal is in my top 5 favorite pedals of 2016 without question.
