Clipse: Lord Willin' (2002) (Hip-hop)

The debut album from Virginia Beach duo Clipse has them painted as sinister, drug-pushing hustlers of the bling era. The production, handled totally by The Neptunes has flashes of soul and electronic sounds, more organic sounds, horns and synths. Malice and Pusha T cook up clever rhymes but what remains most attractive them are their menacing deliveries. The album does lose its bite as it goes on and some songs could be trimmed off, but an overall, good hip-hop project.

 Best Tracks: Intro, Young Boy, Virginia*, Grindin'*, Cot Damn, FamLay Freestyle, When the Last Time, I'm Not You
