Album Of The Week: Yo Gotti Live From The Kitchen

First things first: The music business is still on an extended holiday break from releasing almost any actual music. Next week is the first week in what feels like forever that more than one worthy-of-consideration album will be in stores. And during a busier week, Live From The Kitchen, the new album from Memphis rapper Yo Gotti, probably wouldn't stand the remotest chance of appearing in this space; it's not exactly a major work. Still, slow release weeks can lead us to consider records that might otherwise fly way under the radar. And Live From The Kitchen, it turns out, is a perfectly solid major-label rap album. How often do we get to hear those anymore?
