On I’m Straight, Kimberly Rice immediately impresses with hard-scrabble flows and more than a bit of swagger. The snap track and synths build off the mid-oughts rap of performers like Lil Jon. When Calvin Cofield enters into the mix, the effort is able to garner a bit of additional momentum. With each side of the composition hitting on all cylinders, I’m Straight ensures that it can hang quite nicely with the other rap efforts currently garnering airplay. Each booming bit of percussion and each lyric combine to create something special here.
