Album info

In 2010, the legendary X-Raided dropped another compelling album titled “Bloc Bizniz” under the Block Star Entertainment label. This 18-track body of work is yet another testament to X-Raided’s versatility and commitment to authenticity in the Gangsta Hip-Hop genre. The album wastes no time setting the tone with “Bloc Bizniz Intro,” featuring rap by B. Parker and vocals by Audrina, a brief yet impactful 10-second composition that primes the listener for what’s to come.

The album showcases X-Raided’s lyrical finesse and storytelling prowess in tracks like “Check Da Rhyme” and “Liftoff,” which serve as standalone powerhouses in the project. The inclusion of other artists like C-Dubb and Gangsta Reese across multiple tracks adds a diversified, multi-dimensional flavor to the album. Their collaborative efforts shine through in tracks like “Fire,” “Abducted,” and “Bloc Dance,” offering an eclectic fusion of lyrical styles and flows.

“Follow The Drip” and “Getaway Driver” provide a hard-hitting examination of street life, both featuring C-Dubb and Gangsta Reese. These tracks pack a punch with their storytelling, unapologetically immersing the listener into the gritty reality of the streets. “This Is How I’m Feelin'” and “Excuse Me” add an emotional layer to the album, offering introspective lyrics that invite the audience to a deeper understanding of the artist.

On the production end, R. Morales assumes the roles of composer and executive producer, ensuring that the album remains cohesive in its musical narrative. The engineering brilliance of Pete Rodriguez, coupled with the mastering and mixing skills of Deryck D., elevate the album’s sound quality. M. Garcia serves as an associate producer, contributing to the overall direction of the project.

From the socially conscious “Freedom Of Speech” to the earnest “Ayana Dedication,” the album doesn’t shy away from touching on various aspects of life, both personal and societal. With its rich lyrical content and high-quality production, “Bloc Bizniz” is more than just an album; it’s a profound statement from an artist who has lived the stories he tells, making it a must-listen for any fan of Gangsta Hip-Hop.
