This is Michael Mixerr. Today I will review the album Ready, Set, Swag by Nac (NacSwift of Carnival Beats Entertainment). Ready, Set, Swag was released by Carnival Beats Entertainment from Austin, Texas in 2006. Design is by Tosin for Sinful Designs. Production is done by Carnival Beats Entertainment and Dollaz-N-Since. Hood Soul and Jimmy Dean lend a Hand in terms of production. DJ Grip of Dollaz-N-Since Ent. hosts the compilation.
Ready, Set, Swag is an album filled with the new school sound blended into southern rap. Many sub-genres of Hip Hop and Rap are introduced such as Chopped & Screwed, country rap, bounce music, crunk, club hop, and snap. Each track has its own unique musical sound. Local artists such as Paul Wall, Latasha Lee, Basswood Lane, Chingo Bling, Swift of Carnival Beats, Salih Williams, Fif Wheel, Nawfstar, A3, Ice-B, and more.
DJ Grip & Nac start off the album with an introduction to boot. Both DJ Grip & Nac introduce who they are and when the album is about to begin. Step right up. Come one! Come all! Carnival Beats Entertainment starts off the album greatly!
Respect is all about respect henceforth the title. Nac demands respect from both his listeners and his audience. Nac wants respect as a rapper who’s coming from the underground scene who is not very well known at this point. First you get the power, then you get the respect similar to Scarface. Along with that said, you get money as well. The rapper Nawfstar demands the same respect as Nac does.
Basswood Lane along with Nac and Swift have clicked up together to create and formulate a tight ass ATX rap combination on the track Clicked Up. Rappers mentioned represent Austin, Texas to the fullest extent. Nac and Swift are no strangers to the Hip Hop and Rap genre as they are both producers for Carnival Beats Entertainment and Dollaz-N-Since. Basswood Lane is no stranger to Rap music either as they are heavyweights in the Austin Rap scene since the middle of the 2000s.
Drank is an ode to the synthetic drug beverage drink called “drank”. Drank is all about that purple drank. A beverage popularized in Texas culture and the Southern United States. Drank is one of those things that comes from underground culture and counter culture.
In Da Game is about how long Nac has been in the rap game for. Nac has been in the rap game for a minute now despite not being that well known in the underground scene. Nac is no stranger to the Hip Hop and Rap game as he is a producer for Carnival Beats Entertainment and Dollaz-N-Since in Austin, Texas.
Ladies in The Club is an ode to single ladies living the single life. Ladies in The Club is also an ode to single ladies in the club looking for a partner to dance with.
Nah, Swift, Fifwheel, and Latasha Lee aren’t playing any games on No Mo Games when it comes to lyricism in their raps. Each artist hits it off with their own verse.
I rate this album, Ready, Set, Swag, 4/5****!
