Review: “Shontelligence” gave Dancehall, R&B, and Reggae and making this album slightly off. This album was good but it went from sexy to Dancehall, slightly political, then back to sexy. I was unsure how to feel. I did not know what to expect, but I did not expect this type of crazed balance. “Roll It” was the beginning of the switch up but I liked it. Dancehall gets the blood going, but the songs could have been mixed a little better.

The stand out tracks were “Plastic People,” “Roll It,” Life Is Not an Easy Road,” and “T-Shirt.” 6 blades for a decent attempt towards a strong album but slightly falling short.

blades: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
