Comment:

If Manhattan is the commerce capital of New York, Brooklyn is undeniably the city's [i]soul[/i], even if the artists it's nurtured all have their own definition of what that soul sounds like. J.J. Jackson beat the '60s Southern R&B belters at their own game with his Stax-like shouter "But It's Alright." Global groove machine Antibalas takes the churning, Fela Kuti-pioneered power of Afrobeat and adds a blast of urgent, urban funk on "Beaten Metal." But don't sit down just [i]yet[/i], because the Brooklyn hip-hop dream team of Foxy Brown and Jay-Z rolls up nice 'n' nasty with the raunchy rap battle of the sexes to end 'em all — "I'll Be."
