Flo Rida, Tito "El Bambino," Day 26, Bow Wow and Los Fabulosos Cadillacs

  • Miami rapper Flo Rida returns with the chart-topping R.O.O.T.S, an album in which "each track feels maximized for optimum radio saturation," according to Entertaniment Weekly. "These are rap songs that have very little to do with rap music. His sample choices would make even late-1990s Puff Daddy blush," teases the New York Times. "[Flo Rida] injects these songs with enough grit to interest hip-hop fans, without scaring the pop audiences his catchy hooks are designed to ensnare. It's ruthlessly effective, though difficult to love," observes The Guardian U.K.
  • El Patrón, the new album by Tito "El Bambino" is "straight fire," according to Real Talk Reggaetón, which is "surprised with Tito's new style as he is no longer doing that 'innocent' style… and is now doing perreos." Hissip asks: "Who knew there was vulnerability in this gangster?," before noting that Tito is "evolving tremendously as an artist from his It’s My Time and Top of the Line days."
  • Rapper Bow Wow's new album, New Jack City II, is "made for pumping in your car with the windows down," writes IGN, before adding: But [it] lacks teeth." "It’s short, has no variety, and Bow Wow spits ABC lyrics like it’s his job," laments Nappyafro, calling it the "worst he's ever put out." XXL Mag says he needs to stop living in the past: "Nine years into his career, Bow Wow knows a thing or two about making radio hits, but he stumbles here trying to recreate past magic on every track."
  • R&B outfit Day26 return with Forever in A Day, their second album on Bad Boy Records. Vibe magazine is smitten: "With an almost flawless follow-up, Diddy’s foursome have made an oh-so rare transition from must-see TV to must-hear CD." Uwire calls Day 26 a "throwback to ’90s R&B when male R&B groups were at their peak," while YK2 Daily says the group "fill[s] the void which was once occupied by former quartet 112."
  • Argentinean ska-rock combo Los Fabulosos Cadillacs return from a seven-year hiatus with La Luz Del Ritmo, "the kind of unfortunate album legendary bands release just before reuniting for their concert tour," according to Club Fonograma. Although the group "remains faithful to the mix of ska, reggae and tropical rock that catapulted it to the fore of the rock en español movement," Time Out New York thinks the album "sounds somewhat dated, at best nostalgic." The Washington City Paper calls it a "gratifying new EP" that "should serve as a primer for the LFC’s '90s classics."
