Named after his daughter (translating to 'to reform' or 'to improve' in Arabic), the Baton Rouge rapper's official debut studio album is a massive, highly melodic commercial triumph. The record seamlessly balances his uniquely gravelly, aggressive street narratives with enormous pop-rap hooks, famously driven by the multi-platinum hit '2 Phones'. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, solidifying him as a hip-hop heavyweight.
