X-Raided – Unforgiven

1. Madman intro…Cool intro with audio from Forrest Gump.
2. Misanthropy…Very different sounding production with a twist of rock music. Lyrically, it’s off the hook. 5/5
3. Unforgiven…Beat has a 70’s feel to it. X blesses the track with some tight ass lyrics. 4/5
4. Who is y’all niggas…Good beat, deep bassline. Again, tight lyrics. 4/5
5. Spitten venom…Beat is not really that good, but the content of the verses make it worth listening to. Especially the hook. 3.5/5
6. Mortal combat…Dark feeling production with church bells, and flowing water in the background. X lights up the track with some tongue twisting rhymes. 5/5
7. Macaframa…Slow, gangsta beat. Tight song about inmates and women. Three verses of straight heat. 4.5/5
8. Take flight…Quality production and good lyrics. Dott Dogg adds some vocals on this one. 3.5/5
9. Cemetery fulla G’s…Dark song about fallen soldiers. 3.5/5
10. Dead on arrival part 1…Good production. Lyrics are tight, but they are not as crisp as the rest of the album. 3.5/5
11. Land of the lost…Softer song on the album. Radio friendly. Deep lyrics. 4/5
12. Kick it 2nite…A fuck song. Faster-type beat. X keeps up well. 3.5/5
13. Mama’s pride & joy…Decent production, but great content. 4/5
14. Whatever it took…A lotta bass here. Crisp stutter, stop & go lyrics. 4/5
15. On the rise…Fairly simple drum loop. Hanifah is featured here. Tight lyrics. 3.5/5
16. Outro

OVERALL…8/10

It’s surprising how someone can record such a good sounding album while in jail. Lyrics are very crisp and clear except for just a couple of songs. Production is great. It’s not your average, everyday sounding beats. Lyrically, X-Raided is top-notch. Very underrated rapper and album.
