 With his seventh solo album, this veteran Los Angeles MC really sounds like he's campaigning for higher office. The onetime underground hip-hopper now hangs with Snoop Dogg and will.i.am, and stocks this major-label debut with a variety of producers and crowd-pleasing styles -- from the gospel uplift of "Time Is Now" to the jittery hyphy bounce of "Lookin' Fly."
