A spell locked-up in Rikers obviously hasn't done Ghostface Killah any harm. The Wu member remains as grounded as ever in the realities of life on his sophomore set, Supreme Clientele. Musically, the album is a juiced-up model of the template provided by Ironman, over which Ghostface delivers a sermon of sexual healing and violent provocation pitched precariously somewhere between Marvin Gaye and Malcolm X. "Apollo Kids" pastes together a dramatic backdrop from orchestrated musical punctuation marks, while the primitive R&B grunt of "The Grain" sounds like it could have been recorded live at the Apollo. --Chris Campion
