Away from the roots

Every year we celebrate not only feasts such as Easter, Christmas or birthdays - No, the usual suspects from the Sunshine State drop new albums. After DJ Khaled, Plies and Trina (only once to name a few) now puts us Miami's heavyweight Rick Ross in front of his new album "Teflon Don". Of course it has not Ricky can take back a huge array of stars on board to pick up. Thus sprayed his 4th studio album only as of guest appearances, which by artists such as Jay Z, John Legend, TI, Jadakiss, Erykah Badu, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Diddy, Gucci Mane, Styles P, Drake, Chrisette Michelle and Raphael Saadiq appear. Of course, also the producer line-up can be more than just see, because with the Justice League, The Inkredibles, Kanye West, Danja, Lex Luger or Clark Kent, this part is occupied with some top notch artists. Thus, this package seems to be a super prediction, yet the question is whether this has been implemented to some extent.

Right at the start ignites the Justice League with the instrumental to "I'm not a star" a real bomb, the only way suggests hardness and basses around and Mr. Ross kicks pretty horny Lines into mic. This bombshell is allowed now but quickly disappear in the distant future, because "Freemason", however, is kept quiet a lot. John Legend gives the song with his magnificent singing a certain spice and also of New York veteran Jay Z, it meets with his guest appearance on the perfect spot. "Tears of Joy" does exactly that effect further, which complement each other here the subtle guitar in the background noble with Rick's smoky rape and Cee-Lo's ausergewöhnlicher yet out stabbing voice wonderfully. You could be almost think that the Anthem to his label "Maybach Music" has to go in the 3rd round. This time, there is a feature array from TI, Jadakiss and Erykah Badu, who make all cuts a fine figure on the smoothen drumbeat, which is driven by berieselnde melodies to perfection. Rise and shine from Kanye West comes the next piece called "Live fast, die young" and of course it has Mr. West also not be taking the same some lyrical inserts to give the best. A breeze Soul gives us "Super High", said supple instrumental is brought by Ne-Yo's soulful singing to the correct denominator. Casual catchy go to Rick's and Diddy's Rhymes with "No 1" by a kickin 'Beat ear that gets lent by Trey Songz a touch RnB flavor. Dark and dirty proceeds "MC Hammer" preceded his way and who could be better support than Gucci Mane at this track. Producer Lex Luger grabs but after you are listening to "MC Hammer" still up a gear and supplies for "BMF (Blowin Money Fast)" a true Killerintrumental that brings the boxes only to blow so. As this was already too much of a good thing, Styles P hammering yet with exceptional guest appearance therefore, what this song impresses the stamp. But the real highlight follows now with the stunning "Aston Martin Music" with Chrisette Michelle and Drake. For the voluminous instrumental to the Justice League showed once more responsible and also a few shrill Synthes in the chorus may not be missing here. The hook is just amazing awesome and definitely a catchy tune, but what do you expect from a duo like Chrisette Michelle UDN Drake also different. The conclusion then delivers, the solid "All the money in the world", said Rick Ross can grab here once more of a singer under the arms, in this case we are talking about Raphael Saadiq.

As a conclusion it can be said simply that the "Boss of Miami" has brought his new studio album "Teflon Don" another sizeable Dirty South rap into the record, but certainly one or the other increase is still there to a full Rating score. In addition, it should be noted that the plate with a track number of 11, which includes a total playing time of good 50 minutes is a bit short, but one has to splash out in terms of musical quality in any way. Although it sounds with his music for the most part no longer like before (just think of the debut "Port of Miami" or the Street Album "Rise to Power" with unreleased tracks), but also the more pleasant side of the Rick Ross can kindly impressive.
