One expected release in the first quarter of 2002 is
the sophmore album from Texan rapper Devin The Dude
who will drop the album in January. "Just Tryin
To Live" has been almost 2 years in the making, and
many people have woken up to Devin's music after hearing
his calm and collected voice on the song, "Fuck You"
from "Dr. Dre 2001." It was there, that Devin
was recognized by a whole new group of hip-hop fans
as he came in with grace laying down one of the baddest
hooks of the year.
This new album
is filled with more cool, soulful and raunchy grooves
that feature some top-notch production in Dr. Dre and
DJ Premer. In the early stages of the album, Mel-Man
had a big part in helping put together this album on
the production side, producing a majority of the album.
That may not be the case now, but expect to hear Mel-Man,
(who brought Devin to the attention of Dre) along with
Dr. Dre to have a few of their beats on this album.
This will be a
very fresh CD, Devin is very funny and entertaining
upon the mic and I think people will really like this
album. So far, "Just Tryin To Live" has gotten
very good reviews; XXL magazine gave this an XL, the
second best rating an album can get. We have been
waiting along time, since August of 2001, it's been
delayed a few times already, hopefully, the date will
now stick for January.
