To Tha X-Treme

Devin the Dude

Despite the album's title, the only thing extreme about this CD is how masterful the laconic rapper is in the art of lounging. Houston's king of chill singsongs his way through a languid haze of weed smoke and booty calls, offering 17 tracks of icy coolness. Impressively, the entire album slouches along at the same, easy tempo: this isn't for the dance floor but the after-party. A range of producers (D-Boy, Domo, Cory Mo, and others) deserve credit for keeping the vibe ultra-smooth, soulful, and slinky. Devin is perfect with that kind of groove, and he spends most of his time kicking verses about smoking out and chasing women. It's not always the deepest content, though songs like "Briarpatch" and the anti-police anthem, "Go Fight Some Other Crime," show off his subversive side. --Oliver Wang
