Less than a year after the release of his fourth set, They Got Amnesia, French Montana issued a collaborative album with producer Harry Fraud titled Montega. Beat- and lyric-centric, the LP finds Montana in a more focused state, with relatively fewer guests than usual and a cohesive sound courtesy of Fraud. The popping "Keep It Real" with EST Gee, the nostalgic sample-heavy "Kind of Girl" with Rick Ross, and the stomping anthem "Bricks & Bags" with Jadakiss and Benny the Butcher are highlights. For fans of old-school hip-hop, Montega is a nice diversion from Montanas usual mainstream-leaning fare. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
