This is Michael Mixerr. I will review ICE AK - Sex, Politics, & Paper.
ICE AK comes with a lyrical rap delivery with a southern drawl and twang coming from Iowa State in the US. He definitely knows what he is talking about in subject matter to such related topics. On this album, he delivers knowledgable game to his listeners about the game of life, music game, and business game. The album title itself is very well self-explanatory being that this album is about, well, sex, politics, and paper. ICE AK himself explores and touches ground the topics of sexuality and politics.
The general public doesn’t understand how business executives in business world operate. ICE AK explains in the Intro that conversation is 95% of this business game. This is knowledge about business here. Politics rule the nation and so does business. To ICE AK, conversation rules the nation and so do politics, sex, business. The Intro is a short one.
Money & Murder is all about making that paper. Whatever your business is, you have to be making that paper. Money & Murder quickly turns into a murder tale hence the title so on. The title Money & Murder is appropriate for a mystery novel. The Money & Murder track starts off with a phat bass line.
The title track itself is well self-explanatory. The track on this album is about, well, sex, politics, and paper. ICE AK. ICE AK himself explores and touches ground the topics of sexuality and politics on Sex, Politics, & Paper. However, Sex, Politics, & Paper for the most part is about politics and business.
At the beginning of this particular track, ICE AK explains the cycle of life is vicious. Crooked politicians murder musicians. What could be next? Money is vicious. Money gets people trapped up into a vicious cycle. Certain ambitions and be considered or described as vicious. It’s rough in this game called life. ICE AK explains how it’s rough in this game.
Politics rule the nation. If the conservatives had things their way, African Americans would still be lynched hanging from trees. African Americans would still be slaves if the die-hard conservatives had their way. Here at nearly 2 minutes into the track, ICE AK explains to us how things need to change.
Here is where ICE AK gets political. ICE AK debates about the subject of chemical warfare. Chemicals from chemical warfare are in the air and in our hair. Chemicals from chemical warfare are in the air effect the environment and life itself. These chemicals effect the air quality in our environment.
ICE AK makes references to the religion of Islam. This hellish world is complex. He then next dives into the topic of sexuality. Although he only mentions sexuality for a brief moment on this track right here. Sexuality only takes a small portion of this track.
Sex, Politics, & Paper has a West Coast influenced sound in production. The medium bass turns into deep bass after the first minute into the track. A whiny G-Funk sine can be heard throughout the track. ICE AK vocals seemed to be influenced by Dirty South rap.
I rate this album, Sex, Politics, & Paper, 5/5*****!
