COLD SUMMER - YOUNG JEEZY PRESENTS USDA
It’s always suspect when a multiplatinum rapper subjects his fans to his friend’s lyrics. And even worse when the first single, “White Girl,” which mentions Christina Aguilera and selling cocaine, hits radio so soon after Imus-gate. And though the cut probably won’t get its full radio run because of the subject matter, it’s still good fun. “Cold Summer” takes the electric and sinister sound that Jeezy has made famous and adds Slick Pulla’s laid-back cadence with Blood Raw’s high-pitched rhymes. The production is solid, with Drumma Boy and the Nazty One popping up, but the crew should have left the sexy songs alone. No one should ever boast about a “six-minute” session, guys. Billboard
