*** Mia X, “Mama Drama,” No Limit/Priority.

On her third solo album, the lone female rapper in Master P’s No Limit family finds the delicate balance between sensationalized boasts and a more gentle, feminine approach. Quick to place heavy demands on a man, she also offers touching dedications to her father and other worthy men. Catchy, dance-inducing production from Beats by the Pound complements Mia’s intense delivery.
