Synopsis

Album Description

2010 street release from the Detroit rapper. Special Reserve finds Obie collaborating solely with rising producer MoSS. With a very strong fanbase, a strong presence on commercial radio and having sold in excess of 1.5 million albums to date (including the certified platinum Cheers), Special Reserve is a departure from Obie's typical sound, as a wide range of gritty audio mosaics are provided by MoSS, as he continues to not only raise his profile, but the bar he's set from his previous work with Raekwon, Ghostface, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, AZ, Sean Price, Slum Village, Havoc, Kool G Rap, KRS-One/Buckshot and others.

CD Reviews

Classic "3rd" album from Obie

G$ | B-More, MD | 02/19/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It's been a little over 3 years since his last album, and Obie releases a classic album here, even better than his 4.5 star debut, "Cheers". I guess you could call this his 3rd album, though it states all songs were recorded between 1997-2000 when he was just 19-23 years old, and it is an amazingly great album, and probably one of the top 5, if not, definitely a top 10 album from 2009. It's a shame it took 9-12 yrs. for these to be officially released. It is shorter than his other 2, with only 11 songs and under 40 minutes long (a few die hard fans may have heard before), but of the 11, 2 are classic, 2 are almost classic, and the other 7 are good, mostly real good songs. Only one guest is on the album and he just does the hook on 1 song. As always, his flow and delivery is top-notch and he doesn't disappoint. Prduction is great as well, not surprising though as MoSS did the entire album. A must have album and one of the best of 2009 and can't wait for his next one to drop.
