Artist: C-Ride
Album: The Arab Store
Label: Stash House Ent/Epidemic Music

                                   Coming from a city where it seems that when it comes to artist trying to break through there’s more hate then that love and being embraced C-Ride drops his Arab Store album and opts out to wait any longer on his label Polo Grounds/J Records. C-Ride was actually got signed to Polo Grounds/J Records by Bryan Leach right after he left TVT Records where he was A&R and was coming off a lot of success behind Lil Jon etc. But after being signed it seem as though not much was happening outside of C-Ride most recent single “ Money Round Here” ft T-Pain. So C-Ride and his team placed things in there own hands this time around and record such as my personal favorite “Str8 Outta Carol City” ft Rick Ross lead the way. The Arab Store is more an album them a mixtape even though it was put out for free download. But I think there was a lack of C-Ride and more of a Compilation album that was put together. C-Ride is at his best on songs such as “Man in the Mirror” in my opinion compared to “Breakin All The Rules” ft Bow Wow or “What’s Hood” ft Gorilla Zoe. Other key tracks are “Thin Line” ft Yo Gotti and “Virgin“(even though I like the original version better which the readers that’s C-Ride fans are familiar with).
