"Picture Phone Foreplay" with Kevin Cossum is the song most unexpected even though it isn't too big of a stretch for Sheek, the idea is a little more than I expect.
The album ends with "Clip Up Reloaded" with Styles P and Jada for the streets. Grimey classic hip hop with Jada, Styles and Bully is on "Dinner Guest" and the fact it is just what you'd expect is overlooked because Sheek has to have this on his album and the song is set up to keep you interested. "Ready 4 War" is the same but the singing hook works and offers up a change of pace. Sheek takes it down south alongside Bun B with "Ol Skool" and "Nite Falls" is normal East coast rap, both of which just seem like filler. "Out of the Ghetto" is the song about what it says, but Sheek lets a little thug emotion out you could say. "Make Some Noise" is typical Sheek and features an average feature from Fabolous. "Party After 2" with Jeremih is the more 'mature' club song and though you can tell Sheek is trying for specific sounds instead of stumbling onto them naturally, it isn't a bad joint.Ĭaseley sings the hook on "Blood and Tears" which is the required street album song about making it and being a 'success' now. Now "Club Jam" with DJ Webstar also has a simple beat that has some decent drums and generic club rap but it doesn't fit the Sheek persona as much. Now subject matter, he's not breaking new ground, he's got money, runs shit, and holds it down etc, but this joint could get spin in a more moderate club. "Get it Poppin" has a simple but good beat that brings you in with the bells it incorporates. See he talks that goon street rap but it is more polished than his counterpart Styles and more realistic and original than Jada.
The album begins with the "Rhyme Animal" intro and Sheek's bars are sharper than they have been in the past. Now most people are busy talking about how nice Jada is or how real Styles keeps it, but I've always preferred Sheek verses to either of them. So I'm backed up on reviews but I did get to listen to the latest solo effort by the third member of The Lox, my man Sheek Louch.
