RICH BOY Rich Boy: The debut from this Alabama emcee is rich in Southern-style bangers such as the booming "Boy Looka Here" and the Top 10 hit "Throw Some D's," an ode to the big and blinged-out car rims made by Dayton Wire Wheels. And with John Legend riding shotgun, Rich Boy changes gears smoothly with the soulful street reflection of "Ghetto Rich."
KAISER CHIEFS Yours Truly, Angry Mob: After predicting a riot on their 2005 debut, Employment, these neo-new wavers are back to incite more '80s revelry. On zippy tracks like "Everything Is Average Nowadays," they display uncommon catchiness while scoring a Smiths-esque triumph on the ballad "Love's Not a Competition (But I'm Winning)."
