Description: A former member of Teddy Riley's R&B supergroup, Blackstreet, Dave Hollister was recruited by the Def Squad after he decided to make a go of a solo career. Joining up with the Squad gives Hollister a certain amount of street cred, but it also has other benefits--such as getting Squad member Erick Sermon to produce three tracks and Redman to produce another (albeit the intro). With his set of pipes, though--high, pleading, and wrought with emotion--Hollister might not have needed the hook-up. He moves a little fast sometimes, as on "Round & Round," where the backing vocalist is "taking off your clothes" and asking to "sex you from head to toe" before the first verse even starts; on "Came in the Door Pimpin'," the implication is that he's not even willing to wait that long. There's also some sweet doo-wop, though it shows up only on a throw-away interlude ("Cheaterlude"). Overall, the songs don't always live up to Hollister's voice, but he's able to raise even the most mediocre material into something serviceable; hopefully, he won't always have to. --Randy Silver

Reviews:

Ghetto Sugar

Slow, syrupy and sappy, this is the kind music that gives R&B a bad name. I did kind of like `It's Alright', which is somewhat hymnlike.

Powerful vocals, and raw lyrics express love and heartbreak

He is the voice of the Blackstreet hit "Before I Let You Go," but he is also the singer who detailed his "Babymamadrama" in a song.

On his solo debut, Ghetto Hymns, former Blackstreet singer Dave Hollister seems comfort-able singing ballad R&B notes or ghetto hip-hop lyrics.

This album features gospel, pop and rap inspired tracks. Songs such as "I Can't Stay," a powerful ballad, "My Favorite Girl" and a slowed down r&B remake of the Michael McDonald classic "I Keep Forgetting" make this album music to remember.

Deep Down Raw

This cd is not for everybody, it is explicit and brutally raw. If that is the mood you are in than this is for you. The lyrics are great to sing and the music feels good down to your toes.
