Ludacris - Red Light District CD

Red Light District CD music After years of hustling for his music and his life, and taking bullet after bullet, 50 Cent finally found massive success raining down suddenly on him, as he became the center of the hip-hop world in 2003 with his multi-platinum record GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN'. On the highly anticipated follow-up, THE MASSACRE, 50 reveals that he's unsure whether he's "God's child or Satan's angel," dropping this soul-searching moment as casually as the title in the chorus of the song, "I'm Supposed to Die Tonight." If 50 Cent is calm in his delivery, it's more than matched by the ease of the lyrical couplets he unfolds. He could beat most challengers to a freestyle battle in his sleep, and raps as if he's known this from birth, a truth he expounds on in "This Is 50," as he effortlessly whips a rival. When partner-in-platinum-sales Eminem, drops by on "Gatman and Robbin," 50 Cent shows he can bring the energy, but, for the most part, the rapper stays in his wonderfully jaded comfort zone. He smoothly packs the dance floor on the single "Disco Inferno," before unwinding the most laid-back of seductions on "Just a Lil Bit." If anyone thought 50 Cent might have burned out in his flurry of prosperity, THE MASSACRE, a strong sophomore effort, should set the record straight.

Red Light District buy CD music Lil' Wayne has been in the national spotlight since his days as the youngest member of the Dirty South's Hot Boys. On his fourth solo record, THA CARTER, Wayne is almost wholly on his own. There are no big-name guest stars (as with Petey Pablo's memorable turn on Wayne's previous album), only recurring shots from producer Mannie Fresh and Cash Money head Bryan "Baby" Williams. Lil' Wayne's easy flow speaks for itself; in a relaxed Southern manner, he waits for the rhyme to unfold before unleashing a torrent of lyrical lines, with consistent, understated beats pulling the tracks along. Not as "lil'" as his name implies, Wayne hits a peak with "This Is the Carter," a brash track that captures the essence of this potent hip-hop album. Recording information: Cash Money Studios, New Orleans, LA; Patchwerk Recordings, Atlanta, GA. Personnel: Lil Wayne (vocals); Mannie Fresh, Birdman , Reel . Audio Mixers: Sergio "Sergical" Tsai; Leslie Brathwaite; Fabian Marasciullo.

Red Light District songs With TRAP MUZIK, Georgia rapper T.I. boldly established himself as a young rapper to watch and a sought-after guest artist. As if to cement his stardom, T.I. opens his third record, URBAN LEGEND, with one of the most famous declarations in the history of hip-hop, Run-DMC's "I'm the kiiiing," building the assured track ("Tha King") around a sleek "Hit It Run" sample. On that song, T.I. wanders around the rap iconography of the South, asserting himself the new leader and claiming that his ascendance came without the aid of major guest appearances on his previous album. With URBAN LEGEND, however, the cast list is practically overwhelming (Trick Daddy, Lil' Kim, Lil Jon, Lil Wayne), but smartly, T.I. lets his own lyrical light shine until the seventh track, when Nelly comes in for the slick, Jazze Pha-produced "Get Loose." Throughout the album, T.I. unleashes his brash swagger, and his delivery brims with an earnest confidence. URBAN LEGEND reveals a rapper comfortable in his game, both riding solo and bouncing his rhymes off of others. Recording information: P.S.

Red Light District album for sale With their unabashedly hedonistic raps and signature chanting style, the Ying Yang Twins rose to the upper levels of the crunk world and became one of the most sought after guests on other hip-hop albums. The brothers from Atlanta were rather ubiquitous by 2004, following up their notable appearance on the Lil Jon smash "Get Low" with their own hit "Salt Shaker" off of the platinum ME & MY BROTHER, in addition to guesting on about as many records as there are weeks in the year. At the end of 2004, they came out with the mixtape-style MY BROTHER & ME, featuring remixes and one new song. The unpredictable carnival atmosphere suits the Ying Yang Twins perfectly, as MY BROTHER & ME may be their strongest album yet. They open with previously unreleased single "Halftime (Stand Up & Get Crunk!)," featuring a marching band, dizzying bass lines, and the usual fun-seeking lyrics, before easing the beat back with a hypnotizing remix of Juvenile's crossover hit "Slow Motion." The duo's perfect female foil, Jacki-O, lays down a hyper-sensual flow on a remix of "Georgia Dome," while numerous superstars drop by on a rousing extended remix of "Salt Shaker" to close the record. Recorded at Collipark, College Park, Georgia; The Zone, Norcross, Georgia; Sound Lab Studios, Smryna, Georgia; TDD, Miami, Florida. The Ying Yang Twins: D-Roc, Kaine (rap vocals).
