AMIL

'All Money Is Legal'
[Roc-A-Fella]

7.0

Amil needs to come outta her shell more and let loose..

This album suffers from inconsistency. Amil never really comes through and truly shines like she did on other songs where she was the gues. The album's strongest songs are the one featuring Jay-Z. For example the track 'Heard It All' looks to be a big hit.. '4 Da Fam' is already blazing due to strong showings from Beanie and Memphis Bleek. I kept waiting for Amil to catch wreck..

The other misgivings of this album is the overt commercialism of many of the songs. It definitely seemed like it was being made for radio.. Amil comes through on a couple of tracks including the rough and rugged 'Anyday'. Her opening song 'Smile 4 Me' is a retrospective heartfelt song..
