Cee Lo Green can't not be the center of attention. He's a flamboyant soul singer, a blistering anti-rapper and a weirdly magnetic celebrity: Whether he's re-wiring black pop music in Gnarls Barkley, twisting an F-bomb into a celebratory hook or randomly rubbing a kitten on The Voice, it's impossible to take your eyes and ears off him.

And it's not like his bandmates aren't given ample breathing room: Khujo along with the reliably excellent T.I. brings intensity and Southern charm to the marching band sizzler "Pinstripes," and Big Gipp dominates on "Kolors,She told authorities that Brown had been drinking alcohol and taking excessive medication throughout the day,knives wholesaler and had been threatening violence." a rumination on gang life and the redemptive power of music, set to a jazzy, Malay-produced sprawl that culminates in a gorgeous bloom of Rhodes and bass.
