On the remarkably vulnerable "I Can't Quit," the second track on his sophomore release, TRAP MUZIK, T.I. observes "I'm this close to being a star and just this close to quitting." His 2001 debut, I'M SERIOUS, seemed a powerful can't-miss record with a title single featuring an ace turn by Beenie Man. While it didn't wholly miss, the single which should have been pumpin' around the world barely saw a lick of airplay, and while the album sold modestly, it didn't even approach the platinum level lesser talents achieved with ease.
No matter though, T.I.'s back with a vengeance on TRAP MUZIK, an appealing melange of subtle beats and easy flows which belie the Georgia rapper's vast lyrical intellect. While there are aspects of the Dirty South in T.I.'s style, his world and his style are distinctly his own--incredibly unself-conscious but confident, observational, insightful, rough, and raw. This odd mix is best represented in the starkly honest "Doin' My Job," a cry for tolerance noteworthy for its lack of either cliche or treacle. The following track, the sexually laced banger, "Let's Get Away," could easily descend into a morass of silliness, yet somehow manages to remain organic. Hopefully, T.I. will not miss success again with TRAP MUZIK, but either way, the record makes it clear that quitting should not be an option.
Fast-rising hip-hop superstar T.I. follows his massive underground hit 'In Da Streets, Parts 1 & 2' with his eagerly awaited Grand Hustle/Atlantic debut. Featuring the bouncing, head-bobbing first single, '24's'. 16 tracks. 2003.

The message that Atlanta rapper T.I. wants all his listeners to hear is I'M SERIOUS. Although he starts out the album with an intro alluding to his prowess as a pimp, dealer, and hustler, the album's first song finds the southern hip-hop hard case going to great pains to illuminate the life experiences that led to his ...

Trap Muzik CD music
$10.39  
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
In the year leading up to the release of his third disc, CHICKEN & BEER, Ludacris' distinguished drawl could be heard all over the radio on commanding guest appearance after guest appearance, most notably on Missy Elliott's smash "Gossip Folks." Not that he needed any more airplay--his first two major releases already had the Georgian rapper well established as one of the most accomplished Dirty South crossover acts.
CHICKEN & BEER is an apt title for the ravenously hungry record with few moments of sobriety, as Ludacris unleashes his most gentle of ...

For most artists who are discovered behind the mixing boards, making the transfer from producer to MC proves a daunting task. Fortunately for Kanye West, his verbal skills more than rise to the challenge of his consistently superior beats. A sprawling concept record that tackles issues of everyday life with wisecracking humor and unexpected honesty, THE COLLEGE DROPOUT confirms West's status as one of hip-hop's most refreshing voices.
The leadoff single, "Through the Wire," perfectly exemplifies West's distinct vision. Recorded ...

Like his immediate predecessors Alton Ellis and John Holt, Gregory Isaacs is most famous for his way with a love song, and if that alone was all he did, he would still be considered one of Jamaica's greatest pop singers, but in his four-decade-long career, Isaacs has done a lot more than just sing love songs. A quick look at his extensive discography reveals an astute songwriter who has tackled issue songs dealing with poverty, war, Jamaican (and world) politics, and all manner of spiritual and Rasta-related matters as well. Then there is his Jamaican image, where he is the virtual template for the original Kingston rude boy, and his frequent arrests and jail stays have given him a street cred that informs and gives immediacy to even his sweetest love songs. Isaacs' peak years internationally came in the late '70s and early '80s, when he was signed and distributed by large labels like Island Records, but he had been a star in Jamaica for close to a decade before then, and as shown by this collection of his early tracks (recorded between 1968 and 1978), he was truly something special from the start. Included here are his self-written, self-produced, ...
