The cast from Empire shows their talent on the Empire Season 1 Soundtrack. There are some nice R&B jams on here, but aside from Charles Hamilton's great comeback song "NY Raining" with Rita Ora, the rapping on this soundtrack is pretty cringe-worthy. I didn't mention Jennifer Hudson's 2 songs in this review, but I didn't have much to say about them anyway. "Remember The Music" sounds good enough but is a pretty boring R&B solo, and "Whatever Makes You Happy" with Juicy J is just a poppy, club-style rap and R&B track. Ultimately, Jussie Smollett steals the show on this album, if you ask me. 3/5 Click the following link to subscribe to my channel for more hip-hop news & reviews!  - http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=lukejamesbgn - And don't forget to like, comment AND follow me on Twitter @lukejamesbgn (or at least do one of those things)!
