Raw Ice Dynasty’s Living On The Edge album is street savvy rap meets socially conscious hip hop. This album has an 80s music meets 90s music type of vibe. Raw Ice Dynasty is a product of early Cleveland gangsta rap from the early 1990s. Fans of early gangsta rap and hip hop will enjoy this album. However the album lacks in longevity as there is only 5 songs included. While lacking in longevity, the album compensates for that in lyrical content.
Their debut album was released on cassette only by Conneyonne Records in 1990. The ‘Parental Advisory’ sticker adds a nice touch of gangsta rap. Notice the ‘Parental Advisory’ sticker says, “Parental Advisory MuthaFuckn Lyrics. MuthaFuckn is written in red marker just below the word ‘advisory’. Conneyonne Records was a label from Cleveland, Ohio.
Brothers 4 The Struggle member Johnny Paycheck was a part of Raw Ice Dynasty from 1988 to 1991. Johnny Paycheck would later form the group Brothers 4 the Struggle using some members from Raw Ice Dynasty.
Nasty Nancy is a Too Short-esque sex rap type of song hence the title “Nasty Nancy”. The song Nasty Nancy has an 80s rap type of vibe. Unsurprisingly the whole song is about sex.
Paycheck came back with a lyrical attack on the song Back For The Payback. He is back for the payback on this song! The song Back For The Payback is a freestyle with a punch of lyrical rap performed by Paycheck backed with other members from Raw Ice Dynasty. Paycheck shows no fear in his raps as he is on a lyrical attack.
I rate this album, 4/5****!
