Sometimes artists have names for there albums that don't apply to there content. Sometimes they hit the bullseye. Whiplash slam dunked his album title with his "Losing Control 3".

Whiplash is a risk taker and has a sound that is def. not the norm. Some people might think it's bold, some might think it's weird.

Whatever you think it is you have to respect the ambition to make music from the heart and not follow trends. Not too mention Whiplash is Australia's rising local star.

The man from the land down under is now bringing some thing new to the table. The album kicks off with "Can't Handle It". It has a pull that will drag you in.

Not too mention the creepy organ patches that blend into a very distorted and manipulated hook. The production value on this project is very current and set the foundation perfect for Whiplash when he spits his verses.

"Ladidah" is another album stand out. It is almost a dance record, but still keeps that essential hiphop flavor. Whiplash has great tone when he sings his hooks. He sings the majority of his choruses throughout this project.

Usually encouraging a rapper to sing ends up a dead end road (ex: Ja Rule), but for Whiplash it is something that works for him very well. Whip spits "I cant change the way things work out/ I just rearrange what I see and bring all the hurt out", on "Get Up On That". Another tune that is worth a mention is "Clap On".

Kudos to the producer for making that into a beat. It's basically the popular "clap on commercial" meets some Swizz Beats sounding production. Whip spits verses throughout the album which sound almost freestyle, rather then actually written down.

Not to make assumptions but if that is the case Whip's product would be more well received if he actually worked on crafting his word play and lyrics a little bit more. Two elements can make an artist's album a classic. Good Production and Great Lyrics.

At times Whiplash spits show worthy lines that will make you rewind, but there are times you are trying to figure out which direction he was trying to go. If Whiplash manipulated that part of his music a little bit more we would have a solid gem. Overall "Losing Control 3" is something you would want to add to your collection.
