| | Kevin Michael CD Kevin Michael Discography of CDs
Contemporary soulster Kevin Michael grew up making music, and the fruits of that journey are abundant on his full-length eponymous debut. Like his contemporaries John Legend and Jill Scott, Michael looks to the past for inspiration, drawing on Philly soul, Motown, early funk, and mainstream pop. Yet Michael synthesizes these elements artfully, coming up with a hybrid that's as unique and stylish as it is eclectic. A roster of heavyweight guest artists, including Wyclef Jean, Q Tip, and Lupe Fiasco, raise the album's already impressive standing.

Rolling Stone (p.125) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[O]n friendly jams like the lovestruck 'Hood Buzzin' and the slinky, Prince-esque 'We All Want the Same Thing,' Michael is a confident hookmeister and born crowd pleaser."
Vibe (p.96) - "[T]here's something refreshingly honest about the singer....A collection of mostly butterscotch ballads...deliciously liquid rhythm and blues." Kevin Michael Review

| | Nas Stillmatic CD (2001)
Kevin Michael album
$24.45
Contains the bonus track "Every Ghetto," which follows "What Goes Around."
STILLMATIC is the fifth album from New York rapper Nas, considered his best since his debut ILLMATIC. It featuring the singles "Got Ur Self a..." and "One Mic".
Japanese edition features three bonus tracks not released anywhere else: "No Idea is Original", "Everybody's Crazy", and "Black Zombies".
In 1994, Nas dropped his debut, ILLMATIC. More than just a classic, it's perhaps the definitive East Coast street hip-hop record, bereft of cliché, rife with rich, inventive rhymes. His early coronation proved both blessing and curse, as his three follow-ups, while shining next to most platinum peers, never reached the ingenious heights of his introduction. Just by the title, STILLMATIC makes obvious its yearning to recapture that feel, a ridiculously tall order if not an impossible one, but it comes dangerously close, which merely makes it one of the top albums of its year.
At times it feels as if half of STILLMATIC consists of shots at Jay-Z, ex-cohort Prodigy, and others, at times thinly veiled, other times not veiled at all (the opening two words of "Ether"). Out of the mouths of others, this game would be old and boring. What allows Nas transcendence is that he is not your average hater posturing to sell records, he's earnestly responding to a slander with his supreme, unwavering lyrical style. Nas has an insane arsenal of words and an acute sense of incongruity, best illustrated on "Destroy and Rebuild," where he reverses the guns of KRS-One's blistering attack on Nas's home, Queensbridge ("The Bridge Is Over"), to both glorify his beloved 'hood and deny the MCs he believes have fallen off.
