Album Notes & Community Reviews

Solidifying his transition from underground street hustler to dominant pop-rap mogul, 'Vol. 3' balances hard-hitting club anthems with polished, radio-friendly crossover features. The inclusion of heavy-hitting producers like Timbaland and Swizz Beatz perfectly complemented the Brooklyn emcee's effortlessly confident, increasingly boastful flow.
