X-Raided (Nefarious) – Speak of the Devil
1. Worldwide…Tight loop combined with the waterdrops sound. X flows his ass off. Guest rapper Hanifah flows well, too. She’s a nice addition to the track. 4.5/5
2. The hole…Raw ass lyrics about jail. Wicked gangsta beat. 5/5
3. Catch you…Dark sounding production. Song features Brotha Lynch Hung who lays down a decent verse. X only does the hook. 3.5/5
4. Fatal blow…Sounds like a slowed down version of the prelude on Niggaz4Life. He rides the track amazingly. 5/5
5. Never loved…Production has the dark feel to it with a strange frequency squelching sound in the background. Tight lyrics. 4.5/5
6. Trail by fury…Song about living by the street code and not snitching. Nice production. 3.5/5
7. Only in the studio…Wicked beat. The song’s about studio gangsters. Features Mr. Doctor who is a good addition to the track. 4/5
8. Jealous…Amazing production and some of X’s dopest lyrics. 5/5
9. Hellraizer…Quality production. Nice track about choices in life. 4/5
10. The evil that men do…The beat is decent, but the actual quality falters a bit along with X’s verse. C-Bo adds a good verse. UTG puts down a rapid fire flow. 3.5/5
11. Decapitation…Good old-school sounding beat. Quality isn’t as good on X’s verses, but the lyrics are tight. 3.5/5
12. Use yo nina…Good loop, decent lyrics. 3/5
13. Incarcerated…Another old school beat. Again, quality of X’s voice isn’t as good as the rest of the album. 3/5
14. Nefarious…Nice, smooth beat. Tight lyrics. 3.5/5
OVERALL…8/10
For recording these tracks from jail, the vocals sound crystal clear, except for the last few tracks. Some of the tightest production on one album. Not your regular run-of-the-mill sounding beats. Album has the gangsta feel to it, but most songs also have messages to them.
