Flashback Friday: Musiq Soulchild and Ice-T

Hey, guess what? It’s Friday!

Yeah, I know, not a big surprise. But still worth celebrating.

Here’s how we get down on a Friday.

Musiq Soulchild, Juslisen (2002)

Musiq’s eighth solo album, Feel the Real, drops today and is a massive double-disc set. Yeahhhhh, it’s gonna take me awhile to get through that one. While you patiently await my review, revisit Musiq’s sophomore album, which proved that his stellar debut wasn’t a fluke, he was here to stay. And true to form, fifteen years later and he’s still here.

Ice-T, O.G. Original Gangster (1991)

These days, Ice-T’s is mostly known as “that guy from Law and Order” and doesn’t get nearly enough credit for pioneering the gangsta rap genre that dominated the 90s. That’s why T titled his fourth (and best) studio album OG – he wanted the recognition he deserved. Give the pioneer his props.
