Jay-Z protege Memphis Bleek doesn't ever shine as bright as his mentor, but manages to make his own sparks, mostly through his potent, energetic delivery. Nearly half of COMING OF AGE finds Bleek rapping with guest MCs, including Noreaga on "Why U Wanna Hate For" and Jay-Z himself on "What U Think of That." It's on this track in particular that Bleek, when compared to his longer-in-the-game guru Jay-Z, reveals his hyper-enthusiasm. But on tracks like "Stay Alive in N.Y.C." and "You a Thug Nigga," Memphis lays a cinematic, narrative vibe onto Swizz Beats' loops. Memphis is best on solo tracks when he's not trying to outdo another MC, although "N.O.W.," shared with Da Ranjahz, is a stand-out. Producers Swizz Beats and Buckwild deliver familiar digitalized beats influenced by Timbaland's now much-imitated style.
