Grading the Album

Rick Ross is back with his first solo album in five years, *Set In Stone*, and the Dead End Hip Hop crew is here to break it all down. Has Rozay still got that signature luxury rap sound on lock, or is this another case of an artist leaning too heavily on a proven formula?

Future is back with The Real Me, his latest 22-track release that aims to peel back the layers of the Pluto persona and give listeners something more personal. Did he truly let us in, or is this still the same Future we've known for years? Ken, FeeFo, and special guest Ashton sit down to break it all down track by track. With Rod stepping out for this review, we had to call in a true Future fan to complete the panel, bringing a perspective that only a longtime Pluto supporter could provide.
