Review #1,734: King Presents "Dat Swampland"

Reviewed on 7.01.2017 (Review #1,734)


Here comes anotha CD review, from 2013: King Presents Dat Swampland, released on 729 Music Group! Start Time: 1:44 AM | End Time: 2:59 AM


Disclaimer: I rate each song from 1.0 – 5.0; each rating iz my own opinion! I only please myself wit my ratings! I don’t care how lyrical you are, as long as it’s jammin’ enough for me to like it! I look for beats, then vocals, and then lyrics. To determine my favorites, I will differ tha 4.0 ratings. If a song gets at least a 4.0 rating from me, I love it already. If at least a 4.6 rating, I pretty much really love it, as it’s considered mindblowin’ when I hear it! Any song can earn up to a maximum of a 5.0 rating. Anything I type before “ >>> “ iz what I’m sayin’ before I listen to tha song; anything after I type “ >>> “ iz what I think of tha song while I’m listening to it. If you sound like anything too mainstream for me, have auto-tune in your vocals, or talk about nothin’ but money and hoes (which I consider ‘typical’ topics), I’m not buyin’ it!

01. King, Trill Will & Lil’ Witness “Dat Swampland”
>>> I’m diggin’ this upbeat beat fa a track like this… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty dope; good shit! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and we keepin’ it movin’, here! Still, in 2013, why would we only hear “jiggin’” fa tha Rouge? I think that’s a wrong stereotype… We were just nearly beginnin’ tha stupid-ass “money” bullshit rhymes at that time… Hearin’ tha 3rd verse from Lil’ Witness and it’s pretty dope, too; consistency at its finest! My Rating: 4.3


02. T-Bo, King, Lil’ Witness & B-Rock “Want Some, Get Some”
>>> Sounds like a good vibe like tha previous track, here… T-Bo only “28,” here; I just left “28,” a lil’ over a week ago… King sounds nice on tha track, as well as Witness’ consistent shit he always brings… B-Rock sounds nice to keep this shit goin’, too, you know? My Rating: 4.2


03. Lil’ Witness, King & T-Bo “That Murder Rate Is Sky High”
>>> Definitely feelin’ tha organ in tha beat, here; good shit! Good hook, too, with describin’ how “that murder rate [be] sky high!” Hearin’ Witness on tha 1st verse and he doin’ his thang, here; good shit… Keepin’ it movin’ wit tha 2nd verse and it sounds nice, of course… And, tha rest keepin’ it movin’, here… My Rating: 4.2


04. King & T-Bo “I’m Shining”
>>> King sounds good wit this hook, tha 1st verse & this decent beat… Not really feelin’ T-Bo’s verse on tha 2nd verse, tho; sounds like mainstream bullshit to me… And, y’all both on tha 3rd verse, enjoyin’ y’allselves, here… My Rating: 3.7


05. T-Bo, Gooman Dat Gangsta & Big Blaze “Chopper In The Trunk”
>>> Decent 1st verse, here, from T-Bo, includin’ this good beat, too… Hearin’ tha hook and tha “chopper” shit’s soundin’ good fa this one, here… Hearin’ Gooman on tha 2nd verse and he soundin’ pretty nice, here… Tha same Gangsta as tha past? New name or new dude? To me, it just sounds like a new name ‘cause I kinda recognize tha voice… And, a nice appearance from Big Blaze on tha 3rd verse, here, spittin’ some nice, consistent shit, here… Lol, “heads like a barbershop;” ear-catchy! Definitely feelin’ all these rhymes to tha fullest! My Rating: 4.3


06. King & Big Ram “Southside”
>>> King on tha 1st verse and it’s nice… Hearin’ tha hook ova this nice lil’ beat and it sounds like an anthem fa tha “Southside;” good shit… And, Big Ram on tha 2nd verse, comin’ through wit some southern shit; props on this one… My Rating: 4.0


07. Big Blaze & Kontroversy “Gas Done Went Up”
>>> Sounds like a dope lil’ beat and sample-soundin’ hook fa this track, right chea… Hearin’ Blaze on tha 1st verse and it sounds good; I’m diggin’ tha classic, street, Rouge sound from him, here… I see we got Kontreversy on tha 2nd verse, here (not Kontroversy); haven’t heard from him in a long while… Real Profit Ent. dayz! Sounds like a good lil’ verse, as if he’s levelin’ up like Max Minelli, here… And, we got tha 3rd verse from Blaze, here, soundin’ pretty nice, too, holdin’ it down… My Rating: 4.3


08. Lil’ Witness, T-Bo & Big Blaze “Cuttin’ Up”
>>> Sounds like more of those white-boy anthems from tha Rouge, once again… As always, Witness sounds good wit his rhymes on tha 1st verse, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s a lil’ catchy… I swear, it sounds like C-Loc when they say, “Cut up,” right? Hearin’ T-Bo on tha 2nd verse and he got it goin’ on, here, strictly holdin’ it down, of course… Big Blaze makin’ a random appearance on tha 2nd verse? Pretty dope! Rhymes easy like walkin’, lol! And, Witness on tha 3rd verse, here, keepin’ it movin’ to tha max! My Rating: 4.2


09. Lil’ Witness, King, Chuck-T & Big Blaze “What You ‘Bout”
>>> Witness on tha 1st verse, here, soundin’ pretty consistent, of course… And, hearin’ tha hook…; sounds good fa this No Limit-soundin’ anthem, ta me… Hearin’ King on tha 2nd verse and he always keepin’ this shit goin’… “Sherwood made me;” gotta luv that hood! Sounds like Big Blaze on tha 3rd verse? Why no credit? I’ont get it…? My Rating: 4.1


½time: Consistent, dope lil’ compilation, here; a 4.1-rated CD! Let’s keep it movin’!


10. Big Blaze, R&B & Gooman Dat Gangsta “Spark It Off”
>>> Sounds like an anthem; luvin’ tha hook wit tha beat! “Spark it off” iz right, Blaze! Good 1st verse comin’ from tha blazer, here… R&B on tha 2nd verse… He ain’t too bad, surprisingly; this a decent track fa him… And, tha Gangsta on tha 3rd verse, here, soundin’ good wit what he bringin’ to tha table, here… My Rating: 4.1


11. Lil’ Witness & King “I See Death Around The Corner”
>>> Diggin’ this organ in tha beginning, here… After a long beat intro, we got Witness on tha 1st verse, holdin’ shit down, here… Tha hook’s pretty nice, here; tha title’s true, in some wayz, but you gotta always stay positive! Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Witness and these rhymes are consistent and unstoppable! And, I guess King’s in here somewhere… If I’m a lil’ distracted, I have thoughts of my ex-friend just walkin’ outta my life happenin’, right now… My Rating: 4.0


12. Bengie B, King & Big Blaze “Money & The Power”
>>> Not my kinda shit but an okay hook—well, in one ear and out tha otha, fa me… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s ehh; can’t say too much negative shit… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse from Bengie B and it’s okay; nothin’ special, overall… Big Blaze sneakin’ in on tha 2nd ½ of tha 2nd verse and even tho he sound tha best outta ‘em all, this “money” content and shit ain’t fa me… It’s like, err-body gotta rap about other shit! My Rating: 3.1


13. Lil’ Witness, King, T-Bo & Mike Da Hustla “Whiteboys”
>>> Tha 1st verse’s Lil’ Witness and he soundin’ consistent, of course; good shit… Hearin’ tha hook and it’s pretty nice, here… Even tho I’m “white,” this shit ain’t really fa me… Just sounds too cheesy to pick out races and shit… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s nice ta hear, too… T-Bo comin’ through on tha 2nd verse wit his “duffy” shit; not bad… And, we got tha 3rd verse from Mr. Mike, here, makin’ a lil’ comeback fa tha ’13… He sound good, here, keepin’ it movin’… My Rating: 3.6


14. Wicked, Gooman Dat Gangsta, Big Ram & Big Blaze “Why You Mad At Me?”
>>> This sounds decent wit this beat and tha 1st verse, here… Hearin’ tha hook and it sounds good for what I’m dealin’ with, right nah… Tha 2nd verse kinda quick, here; decent shit, I guess…? Tha 3rd verse a lil’ catchy wit tha flow, here… Big Ram nice and even tho Big Blaze sound good on tha 2nd ½ of tha 3rd verse, I’m not big about tha “money stackin’ up” shit; can pass… Overall, not too bad, here… My Rating: 3.8


15. Big Blaze “Go 2 War With A Soulja”
>>> I thought this sounded familiar… So long ago, here… My Current Rating: 4.7


16. Chuck-T, Gooman Dat Gangsta & King “Put That Glock On Ya”
>>> Sounds good with tha beat, here, and how y’all doin’ it up on tha 1st verse, here… Tha 2nd verse’s soundin’ nice ta hear, too; y’all got tha shit on lock, here… And, tha 3rd verse’s pretty nice, too, keepin’ it movin’… My Rating: 4.0


17. Lil’ Witness, Gooman Dat Gangsta, Big Blaze & T-Bo “When The Sun Goes Down”
>>> Witness comin’ through on tha 1st verse, here, doin’ his thang… Hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s soundin’ nice from Dat Gangsta, here… T-Bo on tha 3rd verse, here, in an anti-sober state of mind… Forgot to mention, tha hook’s pretty dope wit how shit can go “down” wit “when the sun goes down,” ya dig? Hearin’ Witness on tha 4th verse and he keepin’ tha consistency comin’ along, as always! My Rating: 4.3


18. King & T-Bo “‘Bout That Drama”
>>> Sounds like a good track wit tha 1st verse from King, here, strictly holdin’ shit down… And, tha hook’s pretty nice and upbeat, here; good shit… T-Bo on tha 2nd verse, here, holdin’ it down, too… And, tha 3rd verse’s soundin’ nice, too; y’all holdin’ shit down… My Rating: 4.1


19. Big Blaze & T-Bo “Cut It Off”
>>> Sounds like a good start, here; I’m likin’ Big Blaze’s laughin’ and perspective of “whip game,” here, lol… Tha hook’s pretty catchy wit this beat, too; good shit… Hearin’ tha 1st verse and it’s pretty nice wit Big Blaze doin’ his thang, here… And, hearin’ tha 2nd verse and it’s pretty dope, too; nice lil’ collab wit y’all, here… And, a long beat outro… My Rating: 4.3


Overall: Consistent lil’ CD, here; most of this shit was nice… Glad y’all know how ta represent and continue ta hold it down!
