 (47 Customer Reviews)
On album number three, ATL icon Young Jeezy spreads his wings-- flirting with radio-friendly R&B-influenced tracks and soul-tinged nostalgia-- while maintaining the same intense feel with his trademark slow-rap delivery and crack-peddling subject matter. THE RECESSION largely relies on the same stable of producers who've been with Jeezy since LET'S GET IT-- Don Cannon, Midnight Black, Shawty Redd, Drumma Boy, and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. Thus the overall production sound is consistent with his first two solo albums--cinematic and brooding, built on seething synthesizers and frantic drum kits--while a handful of R&B hooks push THE RECESSION closer to commercial appeal. For the most part though, Jeezy keeps it gangsta as he reworks 2Pac's "Ambitions as a Ridah" on "Hustlaz Ambition," sneers at his enemies on "By the Way," and revisits his crackspot origins on "Crazy World." The biggest departure is undoubtedly the album's closer, "My President"--that sees Jeezy, alongside Nas, pondering the possibilities of a black president.

XXL (Magazine) (p.99) - "Jeezy again proves no one's realer when it comest to stacking undeniable deliveries over a hot beat..."

Jeezy's done it again. this cd is classic but a little more commercial than the thug motivations. i love this cd but a step down for him i'd say, probably a step up in sales though.

Young Jeezy has by far out done himself on this album, apart from one or two tracks this is by far jeezy's best album yet. Strong delivery & a distinctive flow makes young jeezy hot right now. Shout out to the ATL 1LOVE

| | Rick Ross Trilla CD (2008)
Recession CD music
$12.79
This second album by Miami (by way of Haiti) rapper Rick Ross is one of the most hotly anticipated sophomore releases of the year. This collection is a more than respectable follow-up to his monster debut. The album--produced by J-Rock, the Runners, Cool & Dre, and others--features the hit single "Speedin'," with guest singer R. Kelly.
Two years after the Trick Daddy protégé hit the scene with his exceptional debut, PORT MIAMI, Rick Ross follows up with another thorough studio album rife with vivid gangsta storytelling ...
| | Nas CD (2008) Explicit
Recession music CDs
$12.99 
Nasir Jones's controversially untitled LP follows the impressive trifecta of GOD'S SON, STREET'S DISCIPLE, and HIP-HOP IS DEAD. This latest record leans on gritty, often metallic production and a mission of personal catharsis, often in congress with a current sociopolitical pointedness. Nas's most aggressive eviscerations are saved for the hard-rocking rampage of "Sly Fox," which stands up for Ludacris and other MCs assaulted by conservative pundits, as if playing the role of the protective older brother. But for all the album's candid nihilism, perhaps the most moving moment is still one of hope, as articulated on "Black President." Poignantly sampling a 2Pac lyric about it seeming "heaven sent," Nas ponders the pros and cons of Obama's ascension. And the use of Shakur's words serves as a way for Nas to communicate a message to the fellow free-thinkers who inspired him, but who didn't live to see such progress in the face of relative chaos.
Having declared hip-hop dead in his last effort, the Queens rapper kicks things off by qualifying his statement on "Queens Get the Money," an impassioned rant over a minimalist piano loop. From there, the newly self-dubbed Nasty Nasdaq examines the N-word in various contexts with the Last Poets behind him ("You Can't Stop Us Now") before introducing a barrage of conceptual tracks--"Sly Fox" criticizes Fox News and the mass media ...

$10.55
Long hailed as the savior of contemporary West Coast hip-hop, The Game throws an ironic curveball at these expectations with L.A.X. Despite the specific locale of the title, this is a record that actually feels geographically homeless. Production wise, the 19 tracks pull from cross-coastal influences, and guest MCs range from Chicago (Common), New York (Raekwon), Louisiana (Lil Wayne), and, of course, South Central (Ice Cube, who appears on the post-intro ...
| | T I Paper Trail CD (2008) Explicit Version
Recession album
$15.65 
After a year on lock-down for illegal machine gun possession, the self-proclaimed king of the south channels his personal strife into his introspective sixth studio album, PAPER TRAIL. The title stems from T.I.'s decision to return to writing his rhymes down on paper; the lyrical craftsmanship shows as the ATL icon delves into personal issues--speaking on his legal troubles ("Ready For Whatever"), his prison experience ("You Ain't Missing Nothing"), and his fallen homies ("Dead and Gone"). T.I. also collaborates with former rival Ludacris for the grandiose "On Top of the World," speaks on the cannibalistic relationship between rappers' personal lives and their art on "My Life Your Entertainment," and joins Kanye West, Jay-Z, and Lil ...

Shades(review from England)Not being particularly fan of folk pop, I was pleasantly surprised with Shades. Their soft, easy to listen music is not pretentious - just right. Soothing vocals, and relaxed lyrics atmosphere makes you want to drive through out the night. "Barefoot Dancing", "Cherry Wine" and "We". Good songs from a good band with ...
