Mixerr Album Reviews #156

This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will do a review again on the album Da World Iz Yourz by L-Dog due to popular demand. L-Dog came hard for the year 2003 and 2006 on this album! (There is difference between the OG release and CDBaby release.) L-Dog and donron are OGs from SA.

L-Dog is a rapper from San Antonio, Texas. He's been in the game since 2000. L-Dog is San Antonio's most underrated rapper next to Chilly-D, Tizzy, K9, Sweet-P, Lady Lunatic, glo, and Lil Sin. Anyway, the producers on this album are L-Dog, donron, and Big Boi. (donron is the main producer.) Featured artists are Lil Chris, Chilly-D, Big Boi, donron, Denise White, Dirty, and Lil Dog.


The Intro starts and ends with a gunshot. The drums and beats are superb! The Intro was so dope! 2003 was a good year even though the music industry wad going to a digital download market.  We Ride is for all the riders out there. Da World Iz Yourz showcases L-Dog's lyrical style.

L-Dog and DoMoe Records will be at yo door makin' all y'all niggaz lay down on the flo with a tech 9 and a .44 on the song At Yo Door. Get it how you live. This is one hardcore neo-gangsta rap song. Think 50 Cent and WC when you think of neo-gangsta rap. I love the keyboarding skills on this track.

Make Me Wanna Holla is angry hard track. Solid Ground is pretty lyrical. I like that.
Pass Da Sticky is a smoke session song. The following melody was smooth and slow. Pass Da Sticky sounded a bit chopped and screwed. It was bit short, but I still liked it.

Brotha Fucka was a so-so track. It was kind of timid. It was about a backstabbing bitch named Shareefa (Sharita?) who would fuck you and yo brotha. She was so cold like dat. What U Wanna Do is a party track. Haten On Me is about all the haters.

Da New World is a biographical track as the Intro, Da World Iz Yourz, and China Girl are. The beginning has that doom suspense sound with an Inception like trailer. I love the reverb on the chorus. The song talks about how L-Dog and donron were barred and banned from the industry! Pussy, Money, & Da Mic talk about L-Dog's ambition to be a rapper.
A Whole Notha Level is a crunk club song. At the being in of the song, it reminds of the Black Eyed Peas song Pump It. You will love it!

China Girl is about a Chinese Girl that L-Dog met at a flea market of a places. Her daddy was a millionaire in Tokyo. He watched her do yoga and martial arts. All dat good shit. The song gets very sexual at the end. Think of the song Delancy Street by Dana Dane when you listen to China Girl. The Indian sitar used this song is on point. Wicked Thang is a sexual song about a girl. Wicked Thang features Wicked T.

Hard Times Awaiten features Denise White and donron. Fuck hard times! He Say She Say has an old timey 1890s/1900s sound to it. Strictly 4 Dem Hard Headz and Bedtime Story are both lyrical songs. L-Dog displays his storytelling skills greatly on both tracks. Both are of the hook!

Waiten 4 Da Moment calms down the albums mood as it goes into a downtempo mood. The reverb chorus is on point. This is the best track off the album. The echoes have a very chilling effect. I like that.
The last song, Anotha One Afta Me, features Lil Dog, who is L-Dog's son. It's more of an Outro.


This album definitely went under the radar! It's a shame it did. I loved the keyboards, beats, and drums. L-Dog has material that everyone can relate to. Get this album if you haven't!

I rate this album, Da World Iz Yourz, 5/5*****!!
