Title: Jadakiss - Kiss of Death

Review:
This is Jada's 2nd solo album, I've never really heard his first album except for the singles. The majority of people say that this album is better, but I wouldn't know. As for this album, it's a solid effort for Jadakiss. It's not a great album, but it is good. There are a lot of songs that are just O.K., and a lot of the beats sound kinda corny. There are 2 outstanding tracks on this album that are some of the best I've heard all year. The first one is the first single "Time's Up" feat. Nate Dogg, this track has a crazy beat produced by Scott Storch (he also produced "Lean Back" by the Terror Squad) and Nate Dogg souds really nice on the hook. The other amazing track is "Shoot Outs" feat. Styles P., this is my favorite track on the entire album the beat is totally original and it stands out over any of the other beats on the album, it's produced by Elite who I've never heard of. Styles is the other reason why this track is so tight, him and Jada go back and forth on the mic and the result is a classic song. Other songs that stand out are "Why" feat. Anthony Hamilton produced by Havoc of Mobb Deep. "Gettin' It In" feat. Kanye West, Kanye on production as well. "Air It Out" produced by Neo.Com. "Welcome to D-Block" stands out to me because Eminem is on the track (he also produced it) and he's yellin' Ruff Ryders and D-Block like he's part of their set, I thought that was kinda funny but the track is tight and Sheek & Styles are also on the track. And the last really good song on the album is the title track "Kiss of Death" produced by Red Spyda. Overall this is a pretty solid album, most of the good songs are towards the end so it finishes strong.
