A spell in Rikers obviously hasn't done Ghostface Killah any harm. The Wu member remains as grounded as ever in the realities of life on his second set Supreme Clientele. Musically, the album is a juiced-up model of the classic soul prototype provided by "Iron Man", over which Ghostface delivers a sermon of sexual healing and violent provocation, pitched precariously somewhere in between Marvin Gaye and Malcolm X. The intro plays out over a vintage voiceover from an Iron Man Saturday-morning cartoon, then jumps straight into "Nutmeg", where the repeated groove of a soul classic provides the perfect stuttering accompaniment for Ghostface to spit a selection of nasty, nanotech-constructed rhymes. "Apollo Kids" pastes together a dramatic backdrop from orchestrated musical punctuation marks, while the primitive R&B grunt of "The Grain" sounds like it could have been recorded live at the Apollo. And over the rest ofSupreme Clientele's 60-odd minutes, Ghostface keeps the classics coming like a real pro. --Chris Campion
