    I very talent singer. I'm impressed. He has a amazing voice. Well produced music and sound. The only negative thing about the album is its ending, but overall, awesome.

    A very good singer and rapper. This album tells a very interesting story about a soul singer who gets arrested for a crime he did not commit. The album is the perfect soul album and his hip hop fans will like it because he still has some hip hop in there. Another perfect album by Plan B!

    If 2011 proves to be a year in which promising artists get their due respects, then The Defamation of Strickland Banks will provide Plan B with a breach for US success.

    The Defamation is one of those records that's just too easy to love; its best moments are simply undeniable.

    And whaddayaknow, this ugly duckling – out of a hoodie and into a tux – turns out to have a fine white soul voice and has followed a record you couldn't bear to hear more than once with a record you'll want to play over and over.
