On her long-awaited debut,
Lil' Mo
shows why stars like
Jay-Z
,
Ja Rule
, and
Keith Sweat
were so anxious to feature her on their own albums. The Big Apple rapper and singer is a protege of
Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot
, but where
Elliot
's game is cutting lines and cutting-edge
hip-hop
is a lil' more subtle, preferring to tap into her roots in old-fashioned
gospel
and
R&B
. That's not to say this album lacks the requisite up-tempo
club
thumpers --
"Gangsta"
"Superwoman, Pt. 2"
certainly fill that bill. It's just that when things mellow out a bit,
Mo
really shines -- on sweet slow jams like
"How Many Times,"
or on the stunning, bitter kiss-off,
"Ta Da."
Probably the best reference point for
's winning blend of street smarts and classic
soul
divaship is
Mary J. Blige

Blige
could have some serious competition in the years to come. ~ Dan LeRoy
