Raw Ice Dynasty’s Time To Pay The Boss album is street savvy rap meets socially conscious hip hop. However this Raw Ice Dynasty has a more militant gangsta rap sound than it does hip hop. This album has an 80s music meets 90s music type of vibe. (Not surprising since this album was released in 1991.) 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.
This album was released on cassette only by Conneyonne Records in 1991. 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.
Die Nasty uses killer vinyl cuts and real lyrical content. Die Nasty is about how Raw Ice is lyrical and deadly in a raw manner. Raw Ice is known for their lyrical content. The song Die Nasty is a “gangsta rap dynasty”.
Coppers Ain't Shit is about Raw Ice’s viewpoints and perspective on police brutality. Raw Ice shows distrust and disgust towards law enforcement on this song of theirs. The song uses samples in a perfectly timed manner. Nothing is out of place with the samples that are used on this song.
He Used To Be My Homy is a cautionary tale about how friends can turn into backstabbers quickly. A friend who snitches on you is a backstabber. People can change like the weather.
I rate this album, 4/5****!
