On opener 'Omen,' the LOX flex their lyrical muscles atop an ominous choir chant sample, spitting bars more invigorating than those of most younger mainstream rap faces in 2016. The biggest surprise here is that their delivery and the production have actually benefited from the passage of time. Fortunately, Filthy America hits as hard as their menacing, youthful material. Yet - even considering the fact that Jada and Styles opened a couple juice bars - the LOX haven't softened. As with any reunion, there's always a risk that things might have changed for the worse. While Sheek Louch, Jadakiss, and Styles P were anything but silent during the 16 years following their 2000 Ruff Ryders foray We Are the Streets - releasing compilations and EPs and dropping in for a verse or two on tracks by other artists - this Roc Nation debut still feels exciting, like a welcome visit from a group of friends who have been away for years. After nearly two decades, gritty Yonkers rap trio the LOX return with their third official LP, Filthy America.It's Beautiful.
