Rick Ross - Teflon Don: Ricky Rozay's album just dropped today and it is insane. The Bo$$ continues to kill it on the mic while working with some of the best producers in the game to create a complete package track: great beat, great bars, great song. My favorites so far are the lead singles "Super High" and "BMF" (solid tracks that show a contrast in his style and vast range, from the classy instrumental smooth style and flow to gritty, hard, Triple C styled "BMF"); then "Aston Martin Music" (great Drake collabo track on a dope assssssssss beat) as well as "All the Money In the World", and "Maybach Music III".
Nas & Damian Marley-Distant Relatives: A classic, and fairly non descript after that. The chemistry between Nasty Nas and Junior Gong is legendary and the product is indicative of their talent and the blending of two unbelievable talents. More classic than progressive but a MUST have nonetheless.
Twista-"I Do": a great Trackstar beat and Twista uncharacteristically slows down his delivery but creates a new flow that showcases his hidden skill of speeding up his rhyming scheme while keeping the pace of the song steady. He hits hard with crazy bars that drop on a deafening beat and bass drop. Check it out.
Birdman-"Loyalty": I have never really been a Birdman fan (mostly because I think he's fairly talentless); however, he uses an insane sample along with a heavy bass drop to shadow his lack of skill on the mic. He also enlists the help of fellow Cash Money artist Tyga who lays down some of his best bars to date (really commands the mic the way he should due to his high skill level) and also provides the chorus, which is smooth and much like his work on his collabo mixtape Fan of a Fan with Chris Brown. Birdman Junior also makes a cameo on the track, and does his usual thing, nothin real special. But a dope track nonetheless.
Big Boi-Sir Lucious Left Foot...Son of Chico Dusty: If you haven't gotten it already, GET IT NOW. A dope album by a rap heavyweight. Big uses his classical, fast delivery style that made him famous and renowned as a member of OutKast. "Daddy Fat Stax" is a dope ass track, along with "Be Still", "The Train, Pt. 2", "General Patton", "Fo Yo Sorrows", and "Shine Blockas". LEGGGGIIIIITTTTT Shit.
Curren$y-Pilot Talk: One of my favorite albums. Must Download. Listen to "Seat Change", "Breakfast", "The Hangover", "Skybourne", "Roasted", "King Kong", "The Day". Just listen to it and you will see that Curren$y is everything I have been praising. O yeah and Ski Beatz is crazy. Enough Said.
Sho Baraka-"We Can Be More": a sick beat for a good lyricist. Check it out.
