Good things come to those who wait. Just ask Jacki-O, who was introduced in summer 2003 with the indie smash “Pussy (Real Good)” on Poe Boy Records. Now, after more than a year, the Miami-based MC makes her album debut. Jacki-O teams with Atlanta beatsmith Jazze Pha on the radio-ready, dancefloor-worthy “Break You Off.” Other guests include Betty Wright (“Sleeping With the Enemy”), Ghostface (“Tooken Back”) and Trick Daddy (“Champion”). Sure, there are several A-list guests here, but Jacki-O doesn’t forget to include the song that put her on the map: the scandalous “Pussy (Real Good).” With few female MCs making a name for themselves today, this disc proves what a woman can do when she puts her mind to it.—RH
