In Brief

Anchored by the No. 1 hit “My Baby,” the debut album from the 11-year-old son of Master P follows the formula of fellow pre-pubescent hip-hop star Lil’ Bow Wow. Lighthearted, profanity-free raps about growing up, falling in and out of young love and Romeo’s impending domination of the rap world fill the 18-cut collection, which, for all its bubble-gum pop and largely sample-derived music, has enjoyable moments for adults too.
