Mixerr Album Reviews #2,425

Pig DukE - Ready2Smoke has a similar vibe to Simken Heights - Ashtray Junkeez and Variety of Sinz - Jealousy Begins. A touch of industrial and grindcore sounds have been added to the mix. Think industrial and grindcore meet horror rap.

The recording process for the Ready2Smoke album took place in Detroit, Michigan and Flint, Michigan through use of a Sony Walkman in 1997. The beats were fucked up by Damienn. Ready2Smoke was recorded in 1997 and remained unreleased until Detroit-based grindcore industrial label Placenta Recording released the album in 2020. Ready2Smoke is considered to be a staple in underground Detroit horror rap history. The master tapes were pulled from Pig DukE's cold dead hands from the cemetery he is buried at.

Pig DukE explains to us the questions he has on his mind on the song Dimensions & Questions. Pig DukE has a lot of questions on his mind. Something clearly is stuck inside his head. The song Dimensions & Questions was too short and should have been longer.

Pig DukE explains how he is one street-savvy and smart motherfucker on Sophisticated Motherfucka. He is a slick bastard who roamed the streets and pimped them hoes. He is a street hustler who is knowledgeable in illicit business. Now that's a hard motherfucker. The song uses a touch of jazz with the saxophone played by B.R.A.D. himself. Jazz meets horror rap on Sophisticated Motherfucka. B.R.A.D. himself plays one mean slick mellow saxophone throughout the whole song.

Breath Stank Like Garlic Sauce is a DIY style home dubbed in the ghetto style freestyle rap. Fan of underground rap will cherish the song.

I rate this album 5/5*****!!
