It’s about damn time; the bx rapper has finally hit another one out the park with the new album” The Darkside Vol. 1 which is his tenth studio album. Coming off two very bad albums with “Elephant in the Room” &†Jose 2â€, many felt the BX rapper has lost it and he was unable to put out a good album.
The first single “(Ha) Slow Downâ€, the record features Young Jeezy and sample from the intro of the street classic Belly. The sample has been over used in the industry in my opinion. Several rappers have recorded freestyles over the song’s instrumental, including The Lox, Talib Kweli, Shyne, Adil Omar, Game, Rick Ross, Nipsey Hussle, Raekwon, Jim Jones, and French Montana. The second single “If It Ain’t About Money”, the record is a nice summer record to blast in the ride with Trey Songz on the hook. The homie Trey Songz seems like he is all over everybody record these days. The record “Kilo”, might be the hottest song on the album with Cam’ron & The Clipse. Some other bangers on the album are “Rappers in Danger”,†Heavenly Father (feat Lil Wayne), and “Valley of Death”. Production on the This album proves the rapper isn’t finish and is able to make a good album. The album probably won’t sell well or chart well on the billboards but it’s the Fat Joe best work in years.
