J. Stalin - Prenuptial Agreement
This is Stalin's follow-up LP to his highly acclaimed debut Gas Nation. He gives us some fresh beats in this one, and proves he is an emcee to watch for. Definitely worth a listen.
Rating: 6.5/10
Young Money - We Are Young Money
Doesn't quite live up to the pre-release hype. "Every Girl" and "BedRock" are the clear standout tracks, with a few other bangers mixed in. Weezy and Minaj seem to carry the album, and Drizzy is surprisingly inconspicuous, although he does lay a tight verse on BedRock. Perhaps he's saving his best material for his upcoming LP which should be dropping this year.
Rating: 6/10
Amerie - In Love & War
If you are a fan of Beyonce, and who isn't, you should definitely cop this album. Plenty of upbeat, club ready tracks. "Pretty Brown Eyes" and "Swag Back" are the standouts.
Rating: 8.5/10
Alicia Keys - The Element of Freedom
As usual, AK drops some sweet piano-laden ballads in her latest album. Not quite as good as "As I Am", but all in all, another solid effort from Keys.

damn dude, i'm dancing like a burrito right now after reading this blog...
ReplyDelete... amerie can't sing, though, so i'd give all her albums a maximum starting value of 5/10. Her videos are better.
true, but she gets bonus points for being half-asian and hot
ReplyDeletealicia keys gets bonus points for the drums on her single
