But on his confident fourth album, the Rubberband Man's effortlessly infectious flow and subtly smart lyrics frequently rise above the region's Young's and Lil's. Young Jeezy spits a strong verse over a soulful flute loop on "I'm Straight,"...

The whole alter ego thing has pretty much been done to death in hip-hop. Ever since Kool Keith introduced the idea to rap music, artists including Canibus, Tupac, Eminem and members of the Wu-Tang Clan have created separate identities as a form of catharsis, often to help exorcise their often violent urges.
