RJD2: The Colossus

This 2010 release bounces from instrumental hip hop jams, R&B pop stylings, layered beat driven sampling. Games You Can Win borders on r&b pop. I actually heard this track on KCRW. A Sons Cycle is one of my favorites. It features a hip hop beat, synth, and 3 rappers. Let There Be Horns sounds like it could have been on a Shadow release. I'm not really sold on the D2 vocals, and he plays drums on a few tracks. There are 5-6 really solid tracks out of 14 for me. 3 out of 5 guitars for the rating.
