From the beginning of this album one thing is apparent. Khaled really hasn't changed a lot. This is the same method he has implemented throughout his career. For some reason though it works for him. The Future wave is nothing short of astonishing. At this point theres not many places you can't find futch. He finds himself on the first song with Rick Ross and four additional songs. Ross also shows up on 5 songs making them the two mainstays overall. Whats interesting about ICA is not only is it an album but it doubles as free marketing. Khaled's album cover shows him in a Miami Heat jersey standing in front of a Finga Lickin wing place that he apparently owns. Furthering the point that he has his eyes set on more than album sales. But lets be real; whats a khaled album w/o its hits right. Gold Slugs (ft. Chris Brown, Fetty Wap & August Alsina), How Many Times (ft. Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, & Big Sean), and Hold You Down (ft. Chris Brown, August Alsina, Jerimih, & Future), satisfy the radio hype beasts.
My favorite song is actually the very first song on the album which is called "I Don't Play About My Paper". It features Future and Rick Ross who blend well together. Peep the video below.
So lets conclude, a plethora of French Montana hooks, occasional Meek Mill screams, Ace Hood, Chris Brown, and Future and Rick Ross as the foundation, you have a sub par Khaled album. So again nothing has really changed
Overall Rating: 2 out of 10
