St. Lunatics member Ali here teams up with his fellow band members in an attempt to emulate bandmate Nelly's solo success, and on this showing he may well succeed. "I Got This" features an unusual Middle Eastern sample and savvy quotes from reggae singer Tenor Saw's "Ring the Alarm," while a smooth production brings out the high-toned elements in Ali's duet with Murphy Lee on the livin' large anthem "Boughetto." There's braggin' and "bitches" aplenty here, but a refreshing lack of violence--Ali and friends are way too interested in living the good life for thug games. Whether the St. Lunatics may be spreading themselves a little thin is a matter for conjecture (the most successful tracks here, "ND," "Wiggle Wiggle," and "Cool as Hell" all feature some combination of the band), but HEAVY STARCH is a refreshing, sophisticated effort that'll doubtless win Ali and his pals plenty of new fans.
