With the good-time hit "Awesome" and two other very worthy numbers ("I Do" and "The Impossible") on the track list,
J.U.I.C.E. EP is chock-full of that prime
Flo Rida meets
will.i.am gloss that
Roscoe Dash trades in, and without having to cross that LP finish line, the listener is spared the filler. Fans get all the well-funded boasting and glitzy production they can handle, with prime guest shots from
Wale and
Big Sean to boot. The curious should know that the bravado-fueled
Dash was born on third and thought he hit a triple, with those initials standing for "Just Understand I Control Everything" as if this weren't party rap. That's love 'em or hate 'em territory "turnt up" as
Dash would say, but the kid has guts, skills, and style, plus an entertaining EP that easily tops his debut. ~ David Jeffries
