Z-RO - Heroin Album

Even though it appears to be an album of brand new material, Heroin is in fact Rap-A-LotΓΓé¼Γäós attempt to collect and repackage various Z-RO songs from the past few years. And though it may have been released without input or even approval from the rapper himself, Heroin holds up as a capsule view of RoΓΓé¼Γäós recent output. The opening three songs provide a deadly combination. Mike DeanΓΓé¼Γäós ΓΓé¼┼ôNever Let It GoΓΓé¼┬¥ is brawny Houston funk that would make Pimp C proud. Even though the song is almost a year old, mixtape favorite ΓΓé¼┼ôDenzel WashingtonΓΓé¼┬¥ holds up to the any of 2010ΓΓé¼Γäós massive street anthems. Most crucial of all, ΓΓé¼┼ôDriving Me WildΓΓé¼┬¥ brings to bears all of Z-ROΓΓé¼Γäós essential qualities ΓΓé¼ΓÇ¥ his deft rapping, soulful singing, and love for a brooding atmosphere. The remainder of the album is spotty but the material is never less than stellar, and ΓΓé¼┼ôDo Bad On My Own,ΓΓé¼┬¥ ΓΓé¼┼ôEyez On da PrizeΓΓé¼┬¥ and ΓΓé¼┼ôCome Back Wit ItΓΓé¼┬¥ confirm Z-ROΓΓé¼Γäós reputation as one of the few true heavyweights of this era.
