Riding high off of Boy-Cott-In The Industry Classified released his eleventh album "Hitch Hikin' Music." Produced like all others by Classified himself, it is arguably some of Classified's finest work. On "Fall From Paradise," one of the best songs of the album, Classified reflects on the difficulty of staying fresh and on top. In the hip-hop meets rock song "All About U," featuring singer Chad Hatcher, Classified shows the extent of his growth from his early releases. He eschews the current the bling-bling culture of popular hip-hop to remind people that life is not about trying to impress others. It sets the tone for much of the album- music to "pick you up." In "Hip Hop Star," he muses about how some people act like he's a major celebrity, while others ask "when the hell he's gonna make it." The rest of the album includes guest appearances by Jay Bizzy, Mic Boyd, Jordan Croucher, Preacher K, White Mic and more. Three singles have been released off the album, Find Out, Feelin' Fine Remix and All About U.
