Featuring guest artists Ludacris, Trey Songz, Bun B, 8Ball, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, Brian McKnight and others, Reality Check is Juvenile's most well-rounded album to date. As for the album tile, Juvenile explains, "That's where I'm at right now in my life. I feel like everybody needs a reality check. I have em' all the time. Nobody's perfect." Then, smiling wide enough to show all his diamond-encrusted teeth, he finishes: "But I feel like I got the perfect album."

Notes & Personnel Info |  | This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. | | Personnel: Juvenile (rap vocals); Brian McKnight (vocals); Skip, Eightball, Fat Joe, Kango, Ludacris, Mike Jones , Paul Wall , Redd Eyezz, Wacko, Trey Songz, Bun B (rap vocals). | | "Keeping it real" has long since become a clich? in hip-hop vernacular, but New Orleans-based gangsta rapper Juvenile doesn't really know any other way to keep it. While the former Hot Boys MC rose to prominence on the Crescent City's Cash Money label, 2006's REALITY CHECK finds him on a major with his street credentials fully intact. In fact, Juvenile is as angry and brash here as ever, saving his most blunt lyrical cudgels for the Bush administration and post-Katrina politico hustlers. The album's three singles--"Animal," "Rodeo," and "Get Ya Hustle On"--already make REALITY CHECK a winner, but the rest of the disc holds up to the promise of those stand-out tracks. |
