50 Cent ft nate dogg |
| Track: |
21 Questions |
| Our
verdict |
7/10 |
The follow up to 50's "in Da Club", 21 Questions is a nice
fresh track with an irregular down-tempo beat. In the track 50
asks, "would you love me if i was down and out....", showing
off his smooth side, which provides a bit of a change from his
Hard-man image.

Get busy |
| Our
verdict |
8/10 |
When Sean Paul first came on the scene, he was only
really recognised in the reggae community. As soon as he
released "Gimmie The Light", it was clear to most that he was
soon to have major commercial success. The second track from
the album, "Get Busy", is no exception. This tune is a phat
summer tune with all the trimmings. If the first time you hear
it and you don't get the contagious head nod, i advise that
you go and have a CAT scan.

Wayne Wonder |
| Track: |
No letting go |
| Our
verdict |
9/10 |
One of the best tracks i have heard in 2003, "No Letting
Go" is one of those tracks that after hearing it, you will
either love it or loathe it. Taken from his 9th album, "No
Letting Go", has taken the club scene by storm as well as
getting regular play on Freedom. Like Sean Paul, Wayne is no
new-comer to the music business but it looks like he will have
some huge success in the next few months and
years.

Fabolous |

Sweet dreams |
| Our
verdict |
7/10 |
The long awaited follow up to Ghetto Fabolous, this album
is HOT! Featuring a star studded album is just as important to
the music industry as it is to the film industry and with
featured artists such as, Missy, Ashanti and Mary J Street
Dreams has done just that. The best thing about this album is
that very little has changed in his style. A definite must
have for any lovers of Fabolous' style.

Busta Rhymes |
| Album: |
It aint safe no more |
| Our
verdict |
7/10 |
There is not really allot to write about this album
because, well....its Busta Rhymes! The speedy rapper has
managed to pull a more commercial audience in with tracks
like, "Pass The Courvoisier" and "Make It Clap" but he still
has the old style that many true Hip-Hoppers appreciate. The
only way I could fault this album is..................Mariah
Carey, nuff said I think!

verdict |
7/10 |
Sean Paul first blew us away last year with “Gimmie The
Light” and just when the track was getting a little old, he
incorporated Busta Rhymes into the remix to give the tune a
new lease of life. With Raggae music only really developing in
this country, Sean Paul is up there with Beenie man. There are
some sweet tracks on the album like, “Can You Do The Work”
feat Cecile, Punky and My name as well as the remix of “Gimmie
The Light”. I see big things happening for this young man,
especially if the reggae trend continues to grow.
