Due out in stores April 3, 2007
Devin The Dude - Waitin' To Inhale
01. Boom I
02. She Want That Money ft. Odd Squad
03. Almighty Dollar
04. I Hope I Don't Get Sick-A-This
05. What A Job ft. Snoop Dogg & Andre 3000

Based on the two previous albums Devin dropped, I gotta admit my expectations were not met. But to be fair, they were extremely high. The fifth track represents the kind of quality I expect from Devin, and is by far the highlight of this album, especially considering Snoop and Andre delivers like they haven't done in years.
