Citizens Activ is the third studio album released under BEC Recordings by the Christian rapper Manafest. It features the hit singles "So Beautiful," "4321," and "Steppin Out".

Musical Style and Concept

Manafest's website says the following about the album; "Following on the heels of the internationally acclaimed Glory, Manafest returns with a new mindset, refreshed style and a powerful arsenal of songs aptly titled, Citizens Activ. "The record is about people taking action in their own lives. We need to be inspired and active in chasing our dreams". Coming from humble beginnings Manafest has learned this lesson first hand, dramatically increasing record sales 5x over with the release of Glory. It's the same unrelenting desire and refusal of stagnancy that inspired his message in Citizens Activ." ^[4]
