Disturbing tha Peace

by Andy KellmanFive solo artists and four groups -- in addition to drop-by guests Jamie Foxx, Stat Quo, Rich Boy, and Gangsta Boo -- make up the second Disturbing tha Peace album. Keeping tabs on who you're hearing during most moments can be dizzying, and DTP is only united by Ludacris' presence and grooming, so it's not an easy album to follow. Like Golden Grain, this does not live up to the standards of a Ludacris solo album, but it has a few replayable tracks, such as Ludacris and Field Mob's rallying "Georgia" (with Foxx doing his getting-tired-fast Ray Charles), Norfclk's nasty Needlz-produced "Put Ya Hands Up," and the underrated Shawnna's low-slung "Gettin' Some." Bobby Valentino and newcomer Shareefa bring the R&B, while Lazyeye is a competent but average metal band that is given a bonus-track slot.
