Hit: 4 Stars
Modern day Samson, after cutting off his braids Ludacris may have been thought to have lost his strength. The latest album Release Therapy contains all of Luda's charisma, personality, energy and efforts of prior albums with an increase of maturity and consciousness. Opening the LP with "Warning (Intro)" as a one verse insertion. Highlighted by horns accompanied by simmering slow track and galloping highs on "Grew Up A Screw Up" featuring Young Jeezy for hard edge hustler's theme. "Money Maker" featuring Pharrell is for the ladies and has exotic rhythms for a stripper's movement or lap dance. A perfect follow-up "Girls Gone Wild" target the ladies with upbeat dance tempo with the same effects produced by the Neptunes. Holding down southern roots on "Ultimate Satisfaction" featuring Field Mob with the 808 kick and instrumentation keeps the album from being a complete commercial/mainstream release as does "Mouths To Feed". For a sexual encounter "End Of The Night" featuring Bobby Valentino describes the goals for the evening as "Woozy" featuring R. Kelly will complete the mood with horn section. "War With God" challenges other artists that talk the talk to walk the walk that could have been a little deeper but still is a solid tune. Tales of incarceration life "Do Your Time" featuring Beanie Sigel, Pimp C & C-Murder contains stories of survival in the system. If one song could capture the title Release Therapy "Slap" expresses feelings of average people's frustrations topped off with a hard rock edge guitar solo. "Runaway Love" featuring Mary J. Blige is three talees of escaping troubles and problems of teenage girls that happens far too often in today's generation. As a more conscious effort and aim to add more subjects besides the norm, Ludacris had the perfect mixture for a complete release.
Release Therapy Poster
Ludacris doesn't pull out any real surprises here, but he also wouldn't have lasted this long if he didn't have a talent for consistency. What's missing here are big singles. His first attempt, "Money Maker," was too color-by-numbers. There's nothing on Release Therapy that achieves the anthem status of older Ludacris singles like "Stand Up" or "Pimpin All Over the World." Yet, even lacking a stand-out radio hit, Release Therapy is a satisfying listen, working what's now become a standard blend of playa/pimp songs ("Girls Gone Wild") and a few trap anthems ("Grew Up a Screw Up") and dispensing grown folk wisdom ("Freedom of Preach"). Along the way, he manages to take a slap at former prot?g? Chingy ("Tell It Like It Is"), rap about young mothers with Mary J. Blige on "Runaway Love," and hold it down for brothers in lock-up alongside Pimp C, Beanie Siegel, and C-Murder on "Do Your Time." Though not spectacular, Release Therapy stays the course for Luda to continue ruling as the Mouf of the South. --Oliver WangRap & Hip-Hop Music CDs
