Waiting to Inhale [PA] (CD - 2007)

Additional personnel: 14K, Lil Wayne, André 3000, Odd Squad, Snoop Dogg, Bun B.

Florida-born but repping H-Town, Devin the Dude has garnered accolades and admiration from diverse corners of the hip-hop world--from Dr. Dre to Scarface to DJ Hi-Tek--for his unique brand of smoothed-out Dirty South funk. On his fourth solo long-player, WAITIN' TO INHALE, Devin continues to do his thing, with that same molasses-thick production full of tight piano and synthesizer-heavy samples, as well as his trademark comically perverse lyrics. The subject matter hasn't changed at all as the Dude once again produces a potent sex-obsessed, smoke-filled, liquor-drenched masterpiece. Snoop, Andre 3000, Lil Wayne, Bun B, and Devin's crew the Odd Squad make guest appearances. minimize
