The first lady of DTP, Shawnna. Shawnna is a rapper, but her cd doesn't have that feel. I'm not sure if its because it doesn't have that rapper's feel on the cd or what. Most of Shawnna's songs are kind of slow beat and fast rhyme (which she's good at). For me, this cd was an alright listen. I wouldn't listen to the whole thing like everyday, the only time I would listen to the whole cd again is if I was bored or I haven't heard it in a while. Is Block Music worth the 16 bucks? That's all up to you, but you should give it a listen. Though she hasn't quite found her own ground she's growing, I would say by her next studio album she'll have that classic album or close to it. Now the radio did play the hell out of her single "Getting Some Head", so that brought her some first-time fans that never heard of her before.


TRACK HIGHLIGHTS: "Damn", "Candy Coated", "Roll Wit Me", "In The Chi", "Take It Slow", "Hit The Back Slide In"
