The B. Coming (2005)

Beanie Sigel
Reviewed by Ryan Dombal | Apr 11, 2005

Details Release Date: Mar 29, 2005; Lead Performance: Beanie Sigel; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

''I'm stressed out,'' confesses Sigel on The B. Coming, his third album. You can't blame the rugged MC for being a tad overwhelmed. Currently serving a yearlong prison sentence on gun charges, he was clearly inspired to balance his usual crack-'n'-gats talk with unvarnished self-reflection. From the low-key paranoia of ''Feel It in the Air'' to the optimistic, Philly-soul-sounding ''Change,'' Sigel's latest finds him at his most vulnerable — and his best.
