Some of New Jersey's finest hardcore lyricists make up this underground unit known as the Outsidaz (Young Zee, Pace Won, Az Iz, Slang Ton, et al.). Members of the Outs gained some notoriety in 1996 after dropping verses for the track "Cowboys" on the Fugees' breakthrough album The Score. The crew went on to release the under-noticed EP Night Life in 2000. The posse's outlandish frontman, Young Zee, has the kind of voice and brash wit that can light up a record, and The Bricks definitely contains its share of flammable material. While many underground records warble and drone on account of dull, amateurish production, The Bricks economizes with swift Jersey-laced funk and multi-layered noise. The textured musical component is anomalous for the style as most thug/battle MCs often stick to stripped beats. Mega-producer Rockwilder, who long since went the way of producing made-for-MTV tracks (including the hideous "Moulin Rouge," for example) manages to bring back a little green funk for "Keep On," but the rest of the beats truly scald the skin like a pit full of hot coals. DJ Twinz drops a funkadelic banger for "Who You Be," which features rap's version of Simon and Simon, Method Man, and Redman. Also, tracks like the fluttering, flute-powered "State to State" and the drug hijinx track "Rehab" are further clever postulations from these raw-dog hip-hoppers. While the Outs serve notice to their reputation for lyrical savagery throughout, in the end the album bogs down a bit after the crew seemingly runs out of ways to do tracks about afterparties, drugs, and punk-MC bullying. This type of release could never truly shake up the rap game, but it does supersede a large majority of modern rap records and even calls to mind some of the better efforts from years past. ~ M.F.

The rest of the album provides thirteen tracks of Kelly's typically strong and sensual modern R&B. He starts off the record with a reminder that he's far from a one-note artist, coming on as hard as anyone with the anthemic single "Playa's Club," then rolls into a 1970s groove with help from the always-spectacular Snoop Dogg on "Happy Summertime," before easing into a set of slow jams highlighted by the lusty "In the Kitchen" and the breezy "Slow Wind." As much as R. Kelly can't seem to stop getting himself into trouble, he also can't stop releasing ...

Sometime in the early 1990s, a new sound began to emanate from the swamplands of Georgia and its surrounding Southern states. It was a growling, grimy noise descended from Too Short, the Geto Boys, and other gangsta rap artists. Heavy on the bass, this funky and decadent music from the Dirty South became known as "crunk." Although brought into the public consciousness by the otherworldly musings of hip-hop renegades Outkast, it wasn't until an Atlanta DJ and former record executive named Lil Jon declared himself and his East Side Boyz "the Kings of Crunk" that the rap style really took off.
CRUNK CLASSICS collects tracks from the apex of the sub-genre, including artists from all over the Dirty South. The disc swoops down to Miami for Trick Daddy and JT Money, and journeys into Tennessee to pick up members of Three 6 Mafia. This album also visits North Carolina for Petey Pablo, returns to the heart of Georgia for Youngbloodz, Archie Eversole, and, of course, Lil Jon, who captures the essence of the compilation on a duet with the legendary Too Short.
The kind of crunk Lil Jon took to the top of the charts isn't all there is to the genre, but the way some compilers focus on it you'd think it was. Crunk Classics ain't goin' out like that. Lil Jon is here, but the collection earns respect from the tracks it surrounds the King of Crunk with. Crusty classics like Three 6 Mafia's "Tear da Club '97," UGK's "Pocket Full of Stones," and Gangsta Boo's career-defining "Where Dem Dollas At" make Crunk Classics one of the more desirable collections of the genre, and are evidence the compilers knew what they were doing. The proof is the amount of shoulda-been-bigger numbers included -- Drama's "Left Right Left" ...

You would expect a debut CD offered by a twenty-year stage veteran to have a certain quality of musicianship, and "All In" certainly satisfies, then surpasses, those expectations. When the lyrics are sung with a voice that one reviewer calls, "velvet sandpaper", and written by a penetrative, insightful poet that's also a standup comedian, radio personality, and assistant martial arts instructor, you have what yet another reviewer calls, "Everything you could hope for in a Texas Singer/Songwriter."The scope of this album covers such diverse subjects as optimism in the face of impending disaster, finding love in the perpetual squabbling of a brother and sister, and a dream about playing it safe that was so vivid that it spurred the commitment that resulted in this CD more than a decade later. There's a take-no-prisoners message about self-deception, a dire and somewhat graphic warning about water conservation, ...
