Pastor Troy Artist Snapshot:

Son of a former drill-sergeant and preacher, this College Park, Georgia, native set himself apart from fellow up-and-coming hip-hop artists from the Dirty South by infusing his thugged-out rhymes with a touch of religious introspection. In 1999, Troy made waves in the rap world with his independently released debut, WE READY, I DECLARE WAR, which included a Master P dis-track. On the strength of local popularity, Pastor Troy was signed to Universal Records in 2001 where he recorded his most successful albums, FACE OFF (2001) and UNIVERSAL SOLDIER (2002). Since breaking with Universal in 2004, Troy has been busy releasing underground solo records and mixtapes at a torrid pace.

Review

Rolling Stone (6/7/01, p.110) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...He's an unhinged wheezer of an MC...screaming to startling effect on dope-game tales....But in keeping with his moniker, Troy's mind sometimes drifts to thoughts of repentance..."

Pastor Troy's a cappella introduction to FACE OFF may trace its roots back to rap's precursors in the jailhouse rhymes of the early 20th century, but it doesn't take long to figure out that this denizen of the Dirty South could care less about the past. Micah LeVar Troy is the real deal, as is made obvious over the course of this successor to 2000's PASTOR TROY AND THE CONGREGATION. He's a cracked mirror, reflecting his life and times--dirty, druggy, down with his ni**az and with very little else.

The backing is street-sparse, the rhymes simple, but Troy's imagery in a claustrophobic succession of raps such as the grinding "Move to Mars," an indictment of contemporary society, is painful, grainy, and undeniable. But lest all this in-your-face reality get too much too bear, he relaxes into the slow groove of "Can You Stand the Game," a smart take on the Bell Biv Devoe cut "Can You Stand the Rain."
