In a nutshell: Grammy-winning producer Dale Oliver (Casting Crowns, Josh Bates), gives this South Carolina quintet's three-song EP a professional leg up on the band's indie brethren. With memorable praise choruses and ultra-tight instrumentation, Jupiter Wind's potential is obvious on just three tracks.

Style: rap/hip-hip; compare to KJ-52, TobyMac, Paul Wright
In a nutshell: Subtitled "Spreading Kingdom Realities In Perilous Times," this sophomore CD is firmly grounded in the gospel. Still, the seeker-friendly rapper's strategy of evangelism keeps his lyrical bent closer to the streets than to the church.
