Case's single "Touch Me Tease Me," an R&B/rap crossover that sampled Schoolly D's "PSK," exploded on the scene in the summer of '96. And with his self-titled debut album, Case continues to blur the line between R&B and hip-hop with a mix of soft keyboard ballads and sample-heavy rap songs. Case's audience will be, first and foremost, female, because of his overwhelming charm. But because he's backed mostly by slowed-up hip-hop beats, he'll end up appealing to everyone with a love for R&B. Unlike many contemporary male hip-hoppers, Case isn't afraid to express soft feelings; in "I Gotcha" and "Don't Be Afraid," he reassures that special woman in his life of his loyalty to her.

On his eponymous debut, Case manages to be tough without sacrificing his soul. Case keeps his hard edge by telling things straight, refusing to embellish his tales with meaningless boasts. Case would have a stronger punch if the music was a little more forceful and varied, but even so, the record is a refreshing debut -- it proves that the genre hasn't exhausted its potential quite yet. ~ Leo Stanley
