Introduced to the world as guest stars on Rick Ross' chart topping album Port of Miami, Triple C's -- or Carol City Cartel -- is actually the group Ross used to run with before he went solo. Released on Def Jam through Ross' Maybach Music Group, Custom Cars & Cycles is payback as the Miami Don reunites with members Gunplay, Torch, and Young Breed. Just like the cover photograph, Ross is front and center on the album. Ross assists them on a steady stream of simple yet effective tracks that... less info

Eric B. & Rakim: Rakim (rap vocals); Eric B. (turntables).The contribution DJ/MC duo Eric B. & Rakim made to hip-hop cannot be overestimated. Their two stone-cold classic albums PAID IN FULL and FOLLOW THE LEADER are cornerstones of the movement, and have probably influenced, either directly or indirectly, every turntablist and rapper carrying the hip-hop torch. The double-disc set GOLD does a fine job of culling the highlights from those two releases, including the lyrically fierce &... less info

On this, the band's second disc for Metal Blade, Brainstorm fits nicely in the mold of latter-day German power metallers, offering solid riffs, good production, and excellent vocals, taking the torch handed off by the likes of early Fate's Warning and Sanctuary. Unfortunately, Metus Mortis lacks a spark to differentiate the band from their peers, relegating the group as an extremely competent one who should content themselves to preach to the converted. ~ Brian O'Neill, AMG less info

When K'Jon languorously croons "I'm finally gettin' around" on the title track of his 2009 debut slab I Get Around, he's putting it lightly. The Detroit native worked the streets and radio stations of his hometown for over a decade before getting his major-label national stage. And, like Anthony Hamilton and so many others before him, the years of hustle pour out in the singer's impassioned voice. When he intones "I just want you so bad/it just seems so real" in the intro ... less info

Since 1995, whenever he hasn't been guesting on tracks by artists like Mya, Sisqo has been cutting his teeth with Baltimore's gritty soulsters Dru Hill. On UNLEASH THE DRAGON, he unfurls his soulful, sultry, and sensual voice in the solo arena. While the backbeats are of the Teddy Riley stop-start variety, his baritone vocals are like those of Luther, with just a touch of a Teddy growl. While the lyrics don't cover any new ground, do soul torch-songers really need to explore new topics? Love, af less info

Though other performers sold more records and earned greater fame, few left as profound an impact on contemporary music as Emmylou Harris. Blessed with a crystalline voice, a remarkable gift for phrasing, and a restless creative spirit, she traveled a singular artistic path, proudly carrying the torch of "Cosmic American music" passed down by her mentor, Gram Parsons. With the exception of only Neil Young - not surprisingly an occasional collaborator - no other mainstream star estab... less info

Seasoned purveyors of arena rock for the socially disengaged, Holland's Within Temptation have been carrying the symphonic goth metal torch far longer than contemporaries like Epica, Leaves Eyes, and Evanescence. That experience shines through the manufactured gloom on Black Symphony, a live CD/DVD recorded at Rotterdam's {Ahoy Arena with a 60-piece orchestra, 20-voice classical choir, circus performers, and enough pyrotechnics to knock the Moon out of orbit. Like any orchestral metal outfit wor less info
