First song only as of yet... but I’m impressed.:thumbsup:I’m still making my way through!


Appreciate it, miss!

Drop a brief review, critique, or whatever feedback you want afterwards, and I'll shoot you a deluxe track I'm not posting on here, but is still just as good. Just didn't fit with the theme of the album. I'm not only looking for positive feedback, if it's shyt you don't like, I wanna hear that too. And this deal goes for everybody in the thread.

:blessed: It's Friday, fukk it

ya homies is real nikkas :myman:




no doubt my nils :ahh:
Sorry for the delay...I finally found time to spin the album via Spotify.

I like your style, you speak from your heart, which is something I identify with and appreciate from my favorite rappers. So when I heard the Pac intro for F12, it confirmed my hunch about mc's you respect. The whole album was entertaining.

Upon first listen, my standouts would be Wait A Minute and F12....these were saved on a repeat playlist that I keep....and PxD was dope as well. These were just my top 3 but I can see the effort on the project.

Music like this isn't made anymore, raw thoughts from the chest....so I would guess that you were a teen in the 80's...born late 70's. I could be wrong.

Another observation: I can't tell where you are from, you speak like you're from NYC and referenced Maino....but said your mom is from Detroit...and then also mentioned Piru, etc. Interesting background.

Last thought, your style reminds me of Murder Inc Ja, (Dial M, Story to tell, Count on Your, Worlds Most Dangerous, and the Murderers)....dope. It also reminded me of Ransom. Not the new music, but the raw, their best work when they were hungry.

Good job Dun.

I’ma Brooklyn nikka through and through but I’ve lived a little bit of & made moves everywhere. That AnyCityGang (ACGz) shyt I used to be on is real, it’s how I caught the case in Camden without ever living there.

Appreciate the hell out of the review bro. Def adding you to the list for this Deluxe shyt I’m about to drop. You have a good ear.

:salute:

Hard as fukk. Stay your ass outta jail my boy and make this shyt happen. You got it.


JAIILLLLL???? :picard:

Good lookin out. Salute.


And yeah this isnt about "success" to me anymore, it's a hobby fam. Idk if you read my earlier posts but this was all written and recorded in 2015-16 while fighting multiple cases. I'm off the music shyt now.



I live comfortably in a 9 bedroom home, running a mid sized business, working for another (both from home), and my investing game has skyrocketed from what it was in this little bit of time. I know how to move. This music shyt is something I left alone, and just recently pondered on picking back up as a hobby.



Album you just listened to, I wrote effortlessly during the most stressful time of my life, as a release and way of documenting the shyt I was going through. I lost that passion once I got bagged for the situation, decided to change my life, and started focusing on other things.



Now that I'm working from home and in the crib all day, getting paid practically in my sleep...I got time. So I dropped this as a precursor to anything I may drop afterwards. That's why I'm not pressed for sales or streams, would rather just supply nikkas some dope shyt.



Legally this time.





Thanks for the support. :salute:

:laff::laff::laff:


OH shyt HE POST ON HERE FOR REAL? :dead:




Ayo Sai, get in here nikka :ufdup:




THIS shyt IS ASS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING??? :damn:




I was one of bro's biggest fans back in 03--06. Out of him, Pap, Murda and all the Smack DVD nikkas from up top, I always thought he'd be the one to blow. :wow:




To this day, that verse on Slap nikkas with Talib Kweli is in my top 10 verses of all time. Son, what the fukk was you thinking with this album? I know nikkas don't like their craft critiqued, but I'ma keep it a band, bc outta respect, someone in your camp should've told you. Albums need to be 12 songs or less these days.






Production MUST NOT be corny. Half these beats sound like you got em for free. Invest in yourself, King. Then the fans will too. You cutting corners on the budget and it shows. Your mixing, mastering, is WILD ASS :mjlol:
Half of your doubles, ad-libs and punch ins are overlapped wrong and the shyt just takes away from the overall listening experience. You could be saying the dopest shyt ever, but if your engineer got you sounding like Silkk the Shocker, nikka that shyt going to the bushes :camby:




I say this as a former 5%er who been through all the shyt you been through. Shootouts, stabbings, yard shyt, 7 years in prison, case after case, industry politics, gang life and now, in my latter years, still loving the craft, but no longer trying to blow. Just trying to put out dope shyt. So them negs gonna hit different when you read this and get your lil computer putin nikka :mjlol:




DO BETTER. :damn:



I'mma take the opportunity to plug my album and show you how the shyt is done. Concise, hard hitting, LYRICISM over modern (but not corny) production. :wow:

And for the record, I ain't one of these little internet nikkas you can son. I first joined this site after I came home in 2012 from a 4 year bid for a home invasion of one of my workers who owed me 10 bands. I was just looking for new music and a place to download shyt I missed while I was in the pen. fukked around and stuck around.



When I caught a gun case in Camden, NJ on my way to Brooklyn in 2015, I bailed myself out for $137k and went on the run from some other cases I had the US Marshals hunting me down for.

I put this album together during that time, but wasn't able to release it before I copped out in 2017 and did my time, maxed out with no parole. So I just re-released it on the 12th of this month, now that I'm in a better space financially, mentally and physically.

Ya boy Tru Life had just come home, him and big Meech's homie Bleu Davinci was in my DMs
at the time I was putting this album together in 2016.

At the time I was fighting all this shyt, I was also working with Money & Violence (the TV/web series) out in Brooklyn at the same time Jay-Z invested a million, and I get busy with Uncle Murda and Maino people. Ask Dike-O about my track record in prison.



I never thought I'd see the day I made a better album than you, but at this point, you'd have to pay ME for a feature. No disrespect. :umad:



Get it together, fam.
