Murder Dog Magazine Album Review April 2009

DieNasty Records

This record label consists of 4 rappers. The first one is Kostik,
then there's Tank, Mute and Kalibur. The features is what caught
my immediate attention. Tech n9ne's on here, Crooked I, Kutt
Calhoun, Ecay Uno, Siccmade. There's like 20 tracks, a few of them
are skits. It's called a compilation, but it's almost like a label
collaboration project. Each artist is on a few tracks and it works
like a solid piece.

These guys have really got some heat. There's a track on here with
Kalibur and Kostik alongside Tech n9ne, and they really kept up
with Tech. They're coming out of San Diego, but they sound like
something from Gary, Indiana or maybe even Memphis. Real fast
rapping! The beats sound like something out of Kansas city.
Kalibur did a lot of the beats along with some other producers.

The sound has that real street edge. There's no radio shit on here
- none. Anybody that puts out a CD like that nowadays, I gotta
respect them. It shows me that they're not worried about pleasing
the radio. They're thinking about their underground fanbase, and
fuck the mainstream. I'm tired of politics and marketing ploys. I
want to hear some good music. And that's what DieNasty delivers.
Good stuff.
