RICKY J Lose Control (WEA/Warner) Genre: Pop Grade: B www.rickyrickyj.com

Mothers, really hide your daughters, this time we really mean it. This Montreal based DJ turned sassy recording artist has created a nice mix of playful (lusty?) lyrics combined with infectious bouncing grooves and catchy hip hop chorus hooks. "No Means No" which we've all heard is really a lot of fun to listen to and the rest of the album follows in the same vein.
