"Truth Hurts came out a few years back with her blazing single "Addictive" which featured Rakim. Being that she was one of Dr. Dre's girls, she had a West Coast vibe. Nobody knew who she was or what she could accomplish. Many people loved the single but hated the album "Truthfully Speaking". Truth went back into the studio before completing her sophomore album "Ready Now" which is by far a great CD. Some songs stand out more than others, but after one day with this CD, you're hooked.



1. Knock Knock (8/10) - Nice song with a hot beat. You can't help but nod your head to the beat. Vocals are great. Rafael Saadiq helps on this track.



2. Ready Now (10/10) - The best song on the album. I believe it was a single though I never heard much about it. The beat is hot and different which makes me attracted to it. I love this song!



3. Ride (6/10) - Nice beat, nice lyrics, but it's missing something.



4. Love U Better (9/10) - A deep, sexual song. Truth is really X-Rated on much of her album. This song takes you into sexual extasy.



5. Catch 22 (5/10) - Alright song. Nothing special.



6. Phone Sex (8/10) - A very sexy song. The beat gets you all excited. Never heard a song about phone sex before.



7. Whatchu Sayin' (featuring Loon) (4/10) - Very weird. I don't like this song that much.



8. Lifetime (Interlude) - Just an interlude where she calls up some girl.



9. Lifetime (2/10) - Nothing special here. She gets a 2 for her vocals because she can sing!



10. Can't Be Mad (6/10) - Never really listen to it, but the beat is good and the vocals sound tight.



11. U (8/10) - Truth slows it down and stretches it out for this 7 minute song. Although it tends to repeat itself, it doesn't get old. It's nice.



If Truth had more promotion behind this album, it could have done better than it did.
