Alright so earlier this month, Dj Kaylsay released his latest album More Than Just A Dj. Prior to the release of the album, Kayslay said that the album is bringing back Hip Hop. After I read that My expectations did rise a little bit. In short the album isn't bringing Hip Hop back but, it was something that I did enjoy listening to. I guess I can put it to you this way, its like the Dj Khaled albums, only with out his constant screaming and with lesser known artist. The artist are all mostly from East Coast and it would have been nicer to have a broader variety, although Bun-B, Maino and Jae Millz among others did make an appearance. Well, Busta Rhymes kicks off the album on the intro. At first he begins to talk but turns into a a dope verse. The album does have a good variety of different styles of Hip Hop. "Bad Girls" is a song that really stands out since its a song with all female rappers. Of coarse "Blockstars" was a memorable song and with reason since its the leading single. Like I said before, The album features a mix of styles. We have the radio play worthy songs, an all female song, to a Cam'Ron, "blam-blam, like bam-bam, im cam-cam" style. We get some good collaborations that we might not have expected. We see the Wu-Tang make themselves heard on 2 skits and "See The Light". "Thug Luv" is one of my favorite tracks and features Ray J, Maino, Papoose, and Red Café. All three rappers deliver comical and effective verses that really made the song work. D-Block is also on the album with "You Heard of Us Remix" which is another hot track. At the end of the listen, Ima give this album a 7.5 out of 10, and this is taking into consideration the lack of good albums out now a days.What I really did like about the album is the way the album felt like a mixtape, each track flowed with the next. I do recommend anyone to go out and buy, so far its the one of the better albums to drop this year. I leave you guys with a few of my favorite tracks from the album.
