Eve

Ruff Ryder affiliate and Philly rhyme queen Eve's debut album dropped following her breakout hit "What Y'all Want." With synth-centric production from Swizz Beats and help on the mic from DMX, Beanie Segal, the LOX, and Drag-On, this major hit helped establish Eve as one of the best female emcees on the scene today.

Dogs can't leave that woman alone ("Heaven Only Knows," "My B******," "Love Is Blind"). (Grade - **)
