Though on each of Khaled's first two albums, he made a few forgettable beats, he has no production credits here. Still, winning new cuts include the stellar Kanye West-assisted joint "Go Hard," the laid-back and sleazy "Go Ahead," and "Out Here Grindin'," perhaps the best single of 2008. Khaled has been credited for reviving the hip-hop posse cut, and "Out Here Grindin'" features inspired contributions from Lil Boosie, Trick Daddy, and Akon. Even Plies sounds less strung-out on barbiturates than usual. The album then proceeds to lose momentum. "I'm On" and "Red Light" don't feature the Runners or many MCs; the former is a by-the-numbers Nas vehicle, and the latter showcases the Game in free-association mode. But the ship is quickly righted with the braggadocio ballad "We Global" and the drug-dealing quasi-lament "Blood Money." Like Khaled's previous albums, it's hard to quantify his exact contributions to these songs. But they certainly wouldn't exist without him, and that would be a shame.
