Rell - Long Time Coming (2005)

When his debut album for Roc-A-Fella Records, 'The Remedy', was cancelled, Wilbur Gerrell Gaddis, better known as Rell, renegotiated terms with label boss Jay-Z and started retooling the album for a future release on the label. However, when this too was later cancelled, he scrapped the work that he had done, and in 2004 started working on a new project, to be called 'Long Time Coming'. With a scheduled release date of May 2006, the buzz single 'Real Love' was released, but before long disagreements about lack of promotion from the label ended up with Rell's second album also being shelved, resulting in him leaving Roc-A-Fella Records. If you tried 'The Remedy' from the previous post and were intrigued enough to want to hear more, then here are the best the tracks that he recorded for his second abandoned album, which I've trimmed down from a rather unwieldy 70 minutes to a more concise 48-minute version of the unreleased 'Long Time Coming'.
