Since the release of his third studio album 'The Graduation' back in 2007, featuring hits such as Good Life, Stronger, Flashing Lights and many more. He fell off. Yes he released a few 'good' songs over the next couple years but nothing serious, he had the classic rags to riches meltdown. However after he found his feet again and Master Jay Z took him under his wing in 2011 they released 'Watch The Throne' as a collaboration album with hits that I don't even have too name, but I do have to say Niggers In Paris has been one of my most played tracks of the year...

That track blew up world wide, not only on the streets but in clubs too. Nuts!
A year passes by and slowly 'Watch The Throne' starts to die down, then Kanye Releases his solo album 'Cruel Summer' which leads me on to 'Clique'.
Now I'm not gonna lie and say yea yea yea Kanye Is Back Babey! Because that is far from it, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that he is well on his way... Majority of the album is nothing special, but there are two tracks on which are good enough to make is a 'Good' album. Nothing to write home about, but certainly one for the collection.
One of them is a solo track called 'Cold' produced by DJ Khaled. As I said before Khaled is the David Guetta of Hip Hop. By that I mean every single track he produces is a hit, my theory is proved again and again, this track just being one of a very long list. Check it out now...

The other track being 'Clique'. Seriousssssssss. Features from Jay Z and man of the moment Big Sean who is everywhere we look in the game right now. As always Big Sean does his thing in the first verse a hook, would you expect anything less? Jay as we all know has reached the level where he can say whatever he wants and its good real cool shit. Nothing terribly deep or thought provoking, just real cool shit. However Kanye kills it! Like he grabs the song and literally stabs it 30 times until it is deader than dead. He verse is just short 2 minutes long, and never once does a single line vary in quality, its just consistently sick and if you don't already know it then it's pointless trying to explain.
