Perseverance, and a Second Ascension
9 May 2020
Robert Juster and Frank Meyer's "Risen: The Story of Chron 'Hell Razah' Smith" charts Chron Smith - aka Hell Razah - a musical leader within the Sunz of Man rap group rising up from the 90s and projected to properly detonate in the new millennium. Renowned for his lyrical prowess and earmarked as a long-term voice within the hip-hop community, Smith suffered an aneurysm and stroke. He kept his life, but at the expense of his original roadmap.

In "Risen...," we first meet Smith in modern day. And while physical and endurance challenges persist, we can see this is a remarkable human being who has worked tenaciously and successfully to remap his intricate brain. And what comes out of it - now, as then - is elite songcraft. Stay tuned.

"Risen..." is a great human-interest story done exceptionally well. Smith cohabitates with his circumstances, and finds a way to win the ass kicking contest despite fate's attempt to tie his legs.
