For his sixth solo LP, NEW JACK CITY II, commercial rap's boy wonder takes on more mature themes, earning a parental advisory warning for the first time in his career. Working with a stable of industry heavyweight producers (including J.R. Rotem, Swizz Beatz, Bryan-Michael Cox, DJ Toomp, Drumma Boy, Ron Browz, and longtime mentor Jermaine Dupri), Bow Wow takes on a variety of radio-friendly hip-hop styles ranging from Dirty South crunk and ATL trap-rap to Bay Area hyphy and R&B-fueled club bangers. NEW JACK CITY II features appearances from big-name artists such as T.I., Johnta Austin, T-Pain, Trey Songz, and Nelly.
