Fresh out of the clink, Philly mainstay
Beanie Sigel hit the ground running with his first official post-release release,
The Solution. On the content side,
Sigel seems more cash-and-jewels oriented then ever. As the chorus of the bouncy, shopping-spree anthem "'Bout That (Lemme Know)" bluntly puts it,
Beans is all about "Money! Cash! Cars! Clothes!" Still,
The Solution isn't all jiggy and flossed-out. The Broad Street Bully shows he can still get grimy (with
Styles P on "U Ain't Ready 4 Me"), straight-up brutal (on the robbery narrative "Go Low") and profoundly pensive (on "Dear Self (Can I Talk to You)" and "Prayer").
The Solution features guest appearances from
R. Kelly,
Raheem DeVaughn,
Jay-Z,
R. City,
Diddy,
Ghostface Killah, and
Scarface.
