Day26 are from Diddy's talent search TV show, 'Making the Band'. The 4 boys can sing with one reminding me somewhat of Usher. The opener is helped by its hook to make it worth a listen. 'The Imma Put It on Her' only has the hook going for it. Diddy doesn't help it by 'rapping' a verse using it to advertise and the same can be said for Yung Joc, minus the advertising. The following 'Shawty Wats Up' featuring T-Pain (off course he is here, it was 2008!) is one of the worst songs here. So, this isn't a great start. Thankfully it starts to get better. The gods of R&B production, Tim & Bob, contribute to the ballad, 'Think of Me', that is the best song here. It features a dope chorus and some progression and variety in production throughout the song. 'Stadium Music' amps it back up for some more upbeat R&B and is forgettable. 'Bipolar' doesn't have very exciting verses, but like the first couple of songs, has a fire hook, actually even better than them, so it means it's not bad. 'Perfectly Blind' is the slowest song and doesn't have a catchy hook to save it this time. It's kind of nice and vibey though. Some will enjoy it more than me. Then for much of the remaining songs we are mostly given slow jamz with a number of very good moments that are listed below, again with some dope choruses. The better upbeat tune appears as well thanks to 'Need That' being a toe tapping tune. It's an inconsistent project but the strong moments are very good and it has a number of production touches that take me back the mid-late '00s in R&B. 'Babymaker' has a similar start to Bow Wow's 'Shortie Like Mine' and 'Bipolar' has the same sample as Nas' 'Hero'. Its worth checking out even if there are some skips to be had.

I paused this movie and I was surprised it was only 70 minutes of the way through. For under two hours it drags on. With all of her violent visions at the beginning of the movie I expected some twist, or for her to have actually have been involved in the massacre, but nothing came of it. It came and went in the end.

This is pretty average R&B. For some reason on Spotify the album is broken up into two discs with six songs on each. The CD has nothing to show this. Five of the tracks are self-produced with the Tim & Bob produced tracks, 'Long Day', 'Not My Girl' and 'I Can't Help It' being most of the best moments. This isn't surprising as they are some of the best contemporary R&B producers in history. The opener sounds like it's trying too hard to be an eventful start to the album and the hook doesn't work If you heard that track you could pick the time this album was created. The other bookend has some rock elements on the chorus that I don't love either. The second song, 'Why Can't We', sounds like something I've heard before. It's a touch better than the opener but follows on with the same feeling. The next few songs are all okay. The second six set of songs are of a higher quality with catchier moments. There are no terrible moments, and the Tim & Bob produced songs are good, but there isn't much here to rush back to with a number of forgettable songs. Best Tracks: Long Day, Not My Girl, I Can't Help It

Cormega is an excellent rapper, but the style with which Nas spits on 'Glorious' just shows why he is on another level. He really is rapping as well as he ever has. At times Cormega is a tad too preachy, but it's a minor criticism. Most of these songs are ones that you won't mind hearing over and over. The production team has hit the mark, and Cormega hasn't let his fans down with this sequel project. Best Tracks: Her Name, Glorious, What's Understand, Life & Rhymes,Grand Schemes

The strength here is the bangin' opener and the final two songs with 'No Competition' not being far away. Unless it's being presented with an anti-drug message, I'm really tired of hearing about crack in hip hop on songs like 'Kaleidoscope'. Very consistent with a few songs I'd be happy to play on repeat earn this a light 3.5 out of 5. Best Tracks: Take 'Em Back, No Competition, 100 Jewelz Pt. 3, Lonely at the Top
