If you managed to pick up DJ Khaled’s latest album ‘We The Best’ then you probably remember Beanie Sigel’s track appropriately titled Before the Solution, and yes that was a promise of things to come. Now it has been released through Roc-A-Fella records that his forthcoming album will hit the streets on December 11th just in time for the Christmas season. The album is slated to feature seventeen tracks with the single All of the Above (featuring R. Kelly) leading the charge set to take the radio waves on fire coast to coast come October 29th.
Beanie Sigel dropped his last album in 2005 (The B. Coming) which went all the way to Gold status, but had his career hijacked temporarily as legal troubles would continue to mount over the course of 2006. With all that finally behind him, as well as being involved in the very public breakup of the original Roc-A-Fella family that saw the end of his group State Property (for now at least) in the process, Beans has taken all the negativity and hardship in his life to take his music further than ever before.

That's RIGHT Mutha #^&% a's!
Fans of the Philly rapper had better be prepared for a deeper, more thought provoking (as if he wasn’t before) MC this time around as his album promises a new fusion of various musical elements that include Jazz and Blues, as well as some rock thrown in for good measure. As further evidence of his growth as a man and an artist, Styles P of D-Block (Lox) fame who had beef with Sigel (a beef that enlisted several artists from both the Roc-A-Fella and Ruff Ryder’s camps before it had run its course) showing that the landmark collaboration between KRS-ONE and Marly Marl might have been just the beginning of new look for Hip Hop, one where the music comes first. On Beans album you’ll find Scarface, Reheem DeVaughn, production by The Runners, Trey Songz, Harry & Alex, as well as Dre & Vidal who will aid in Sigel’s effort to show us all how much he’s learned over the years and how he’ll apply it to the game from now on. If there is anything wrong with Hip Hop (and that really depends on who you ask) then Mr. Sigel might have The Solution.
