5 years after their great collab “Heavy Metal Kings” from the Jedi Mind Tricks album “Servants In Heaven, Kings in Hell”. Philly fuses with Brooklyn as Vinnie Paz and Ill Bill finally get together for what could be the best damn underground hip hop collab album of the year. I’m talking about the LP “Heavy Metal Kings”. The album is more Non-Phixion style with lyrical content with illuminati and William Cooper references. “Eye Is The King” can really back this statement up. Just another song about the eye of the pyramid that you see on the one dollar bill as well as Skull and Bones. “Impaled Nazarene” is right back on that same level with talks about how Walt Disney supported the Nazi’s during the holocaust, the Illuminati murdering Micheal Jackson, how Obama was elected really from a closed door meeting between the richest people on the planet, and jesus living in Tibet and India in the 17 years he was not in the bible. “Blood Meridian” is almost a “Circle Of Tyrants” style song with a mix of horrorcore with extreme hardcore. The beat is sick as fuck and the lyricisim is some of the most potent venom I’ve heard in along time.

We got another protest style song with some other lyricism mixed with a small Non Phixion reunion on “The Vice of Killing (feat. Reef the Lost Cauze & Sabac Red)”. This song is ultimate lyrical warfare with talks about human trafficking and human rights violations mixed with gangsta style lyrics and hardcore lyrics. I’d bump this track just to hear the dope reunion with Ill Bill and Sabac Red. “Devils Rebels (feat. Crypt the Warchild)” well…. It’s a concept song in the style of JMT’s classic “Uncommon Valor (A Vietnam Story)” and Ill Bill’s classic “The Anatomy Of A School Shooting”. This will get your eardrums buzzin’ for sure. “Metal in your Mouth (feat. Q-Unique of The Arsonists & Slaine of La Coka Nostra)” is east coast hardcore hip hop. The beat is total throwback to alot of classic hip hop hardcore joints in the style of east coast legends like Rakim, KRS ONE, and Public Enemy. I know alot of Esham’s fans are gonna be accusing DJ Muggs of being a biter with the beat for “Leviathan (The Spell of Kingu)”. The beat sounds like some Detroit acid rap. The song itself is about global conflict and how people are still poor even if there’s a boost out of the recession. The best lyric on this song is paz’s verse going “If the Tea Party wins than America Loses” which I can agree with but that’s another story.

All in all this entire album is the shit. I’m just finally glad this album is here for everyone to listen to finally. These 2 are the top underground rappers in the game right now and together it’s just bad news to the rest of hip hop. They claim that Dr. Dre’s Detox will change the game. I think Heavy Metal Kings just done changed and raised the ladder up. Best point of this is there’s no damn Autotone on this bad boy! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
