...this one is a killer - literally. District and Circle (the title suggests the London Underground and, surely, its 2005 terror bombings) throbs with anxiety, foreboding and half-suppressed violence. Heaney's language is a symphony of sounds, surprises and look-'em-up words, like his barber's "cold smooth creeping steel and snicking scissors." You'll want to sing his lines out loud - until you realize how deadly serious the post-9/11 Heaney can be.

Image Moments from Digital Foci ($230) both handled photos smoothly, with pleasant dissolves from image to image.

...appears written in the sky in diamonds. Jeezy, whose shirt claims “I am the street dream,” proves it here. Aside from the shameless self-promotion, the video isn’t bad. The transitions between the numerous scenes are relatively smooth, and the song itself is fire. Jeezy represents Atlanta and the streets that brought him up while still managing to appeal to a broader audience: those who like fast cars, curvaceous women, and money...
