Alessia Cara is a very young artist, and
honestly, she shows a lot of maturity on this album. The hit single Here is
very antisocial but hot. She really shines on just about every song. The
production is the low point, but its just below a 9/10. The single Here is amazing and creative. Four

sounds young (I mean she is) but her singing is really good and the choruses
are great. The album has great depth and you don’t really feel like you needed
more songs here; its just right.
The Verdict: 9.2/10
30) Rick Ross (7.7) Essential Album: Teflon Don Starting off the list is Ricky Rossay. Ross has great delivery and a lot of good albums. He scores really high in the versatility category. Ross’s pen game has definitely gotten better from when he debuted in 2006 with Port of Miami. Ross’s biggest flaws were his storytelling and impact. Otherwise solid MC. 29) Young Jeezy (7.8) Essential Album: The Recession Another dirty south MC. Jeezy is one of my favorite rappers. He has a lot of good albums with no real duds. He does have the best ad libs in the game. His collaboration and versatility are high. He really brings the heat on his features. Storytelling and Impact weren’t that high but hey; hes tied with the next rapper. 28) Nicki Minaj (7.8) EA: The Pinkprint Arguably the most dominant female rapper of all time. Nicki really shines when features on others tracks. She usually steals the show like on Kanye West’s “Monster” song. She’s also really versatile; able to sing also and
