X-Raided & Kingpen - City of Kings
Reviewed By: Blutarski
  1. This is just the intro. It has a dark type of beat to it. Kingpen and X-Raided talk about the album. That's it.


  2. A decent beat on this track, but really nothing special. X and Kingpen come tight on the mic, but it's not even close to being the best track on the album. It's a decent track overall.


  3. It has the beat from Dr. Dre's 2001 track called "Let's Get High." X comes hard on this track. I'm feeling his flow. Kingpen comes with those Killa Tay style flows with the little screetch. It's a good track overall. The beat is old, but it works well with this track.


  4. I like the intruments on this track. The beat is fast paced and X starts it off with a tight ass verse. Kingpen comes next then X again and Luni finishes the track off with a good verse. The production is sweet and I'm feeling all the flows. A tight track from start to finish.


  5. This is the same track off of "Sac Kingz," but the background effects are slightly different. I liked the OG better, but this one is still good. Both X and Kingpen come tight on this one. Only bad thing is it's a recycled track.


  6. This track has a slower pace to it. It has some typical Hollis production with the background bell effects. I don't really like the slow pace to this track. The flows fit in well, but the pace throws me off.


  7. The beat really gets you moving on this one. The piano work is sweet. Kingpen starts it off with a tight verse. X comes with some tight flows of his own. This has the same type of lyrics as "Macraframa." It's a tight track overall.


  8. The tracklisting on the album doesn't list this interlude and that's why it's all fucked up. X and Kingpen just talk. That's all there is to it.


  9. I'm not really feeling Kingpen's flow on this one. X still comes clean, but Kingpen is a let down on this one. Robert Jr. has a coo verse too. The beat is alright, but nothing special. A decent track overall.


  10. This track is also from "Sac Kingz." This is the OG though and there is no remix to it. It's a tight ass track and I'm feeling it to the fullest, but it's a recycled track. Still don't want to miss it though cause it's sicc!!


  11. The hook is the best part to this track. Both X and Kingpen flow about the girls they've been with. The beat is alright, but I like the background effects to this one. The track has a slower pace to it, but I'm feeling it. A good track.


  12. C-Lim disses Hollow Tip & Mic-C on this one. I've never really been a C-Lim fan, but he comes hard on this track. X and Kingpen also come with some tight lyrics. This is one of my favorite tracks on the album. The background effects are slick too.


  13. The beat is tight on this one. I like the production that goes along with it also. C-Lim disses Brotha Lynch and a couple other Siccmade artists. I'm lost about why he would diss them on a X-Raided album, but whatever. It makes for a good track, although C-Lim's verse doesn't fit in well with the other verses. T-Nutty is also on this track, although it lists him on the next track.


  14. My favorite track on the album. The beat is tight and the production is perfect. It says that T-Nutty and C-Lim are on this track, but neither of them are. The track cuts off at the end though, so they might have been. It's still a sicc ass track without them, but I don't like how it cuts off.


  15. The same as track one except they talk about some upcoming albums.


  16. The first bonus track is "Game Official" from "And He Shall Appear." It has a tight ass beat to it and I'm feeling the production to it. They rep Brotha Lynch on this one. A track givin Lynch props, but then another track before that dissed him, I'm confused??? In any case it's a coo track overall, but it's still recycled.


  17. The second bonus track is "Witta Mask On Pt.2" from "And He Shall Appear." It'll never be as good as the original Witta Mask On, but it's still a clean track. The production is sweet and I'm feeling X's flow. Recycled material though.


  18. The third bonus track is "Meetcha Maker" from "And He Shall Appear." Again it's recycled material. Can't say anything bad about this one though. It's a tight track from start to finish. X comes real hard on this one. It's a good way to end the album, even if it's a reused track.


Overall this is a tight album from start to finish. The beats aren't as good as some of the older X-Raided albums, but they still knocc. I like the features he picked and him and Kingpen work well together. There is only 5 recycled tracks, so there is plenty of new tracks to slump. If you're an X-Raided fan then you need to get this one, and if you don't listen to X-Raided you need to start. Get it!
