Tipsy

J-Kwon

So-So Def

WE SAY

A record that does all the right things in all the right places. This has been top 3 on the US Hot 100 and could do just as well here. Good timing from Jermaine Dupri's So So Def as well, proving he's still signing hits as Arista and LA Reid - who brought him in - disappear.
