Coming off the success of Supreme Clientele, which peaked at No. 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, Ghostface Killah returns with his third Epic set. Ghostface has already grabbed hip-hop’s collective attention with the set’s first single, “Never Be the Same Again.” Featuring R&B crooner Carl Thomas and Wu-Tang brother Raekwon, the single is by most standards a love song, with Ghostface playing a jilted lover. Although Bulletproof Wallets also features the equally romantic “Love Session,” fans of the artist’s stronger material surely won’t be disappointed. Tracks like “Flowers” and “Maxine” highlight Ghostface’s ability to narrate great street sagas. What some might call the Wu-Tang’s dynamic duo—Raekwon and Ghostface—team on several of the album’s tracks. Other guests include Takitha, Ruff Endz, and Method Man, among others.—RH
