From Crook County, Oregon, the lightning fast lip known as The Dirtball has arrived once again with a solo masterpiece of Suburban Noize music. The newest member of the Kottonmouth Kings has returned solo since joining KMK and has now brought us Nervous System. So! Let’s get into it!

1. Intro
Setting the tone for this album.
N / A

2. I Came To Party
The Dirtball brings us a party track….literally called “I Came To Party”. Production wise, it’s different and I’ve gotta say that different is good! Albeit not super lightning fast, you gotta love bumpin’ your head to this track!
4 / 5

3. Way We Live
Dirtball has definitely gone in another direction to start this album out. We get an old school style banger with bass-ridden bumps and small samples. The Crook County stoner brings it with how we does it from day to night and if this is the way he lives, I suggest you start livin’ like the D-Ball!
4 / 5

4. Cracka Now
Interesting name to an interesting track. Who’s the muthafuckin’ cracka now? Dirtball fires out truth about how, living your own way is the way to be and how destiny is made by the choices you make. Follow your own road, even if rap is your thing then “cracka now” go get it!
4 / 5

5. Bang Loud
And no he’s not talking about fucking loud. Dirtball brings us back to the psychedelic party style that made Dirtball stand out in the Subnoize label. This song and fast raps fit in really well with the album and to Dirtball’s style.
5 / 5

6. Anybody
From the start, you feel the “party party in your body body” and this track’ll make you wanna get up and dance. Once again, back to the lighting fast raps but with more of a west coast hip-hop style beat that sounds pretty similar to some E-40. Anybody wanna get down?!
5 / 5

7. Move Back
The west coast hip hop sound doesn’t stop with a hint of psychedelic flavor to keep ’em all back! Tell them move back if they’re hating on you, bang this one for the haters to “move back”!
4 / 5

8. Own It
I’ve got to say, this album has been written and produced very well. When you hear the words “own it”, you think “Oh shit! I owned you!”, but this twist is basically saying, “I can school it.”. Make this your anthem when you walk into a room and “own it”!
4 / 5

9. Let ‘Em Roll
Let the good times roll everyone! Whether if you’re paying dues, having hard times, partying or just being yourself, this banger will keep you in positive vibe mode. Production is flawless and made like a custom made glove….er rap!
4 / 5

10. I Smell Hell
Here we go with the super fast rappin’ raptillion! And with a psycho calling your telephone, this is a monstrous mix of wicked shit and fast raps. Dirtball spits it like a machine gun on double fire with this one, spittin’ a little wicked shit on this banger! Slows down, then speeds up and with the sickness that D-Ball spits, it’ll shred your body up with your blood being drank from the murderers!
5 / 5

11. Let’s Do It (Feat. Daddy X of the Kottonmouth Kings)
The first collaboration in the form of the two frontmen from the X Pistols and half of the Kottonmouth Kings, Dirtball and Daddy X. X and D-Ball come correct with a statement, “Go for your dreams and do it how you wanna do it”. Go and just do it. Production wise, it’s a bit sub par, but lyrically it’s a great song.
3 / 5

12. Mushrooms
Ah the track that was featured on “Long Live the Kings”. I reviewed LLTK a while back and if anyone missed what I said, allow me to repeat myself:

“The Crook County King rips it up with is rapid fire with some just straight up trippy and hilarious lyrics for you shroomers out there. Hahah “Anybody gonna look at me another way gonna get a watermelon thrown at ’em, yep yep I got ’em!”. Probably the funniest lyric Dirtball has ever spit. Great song!”
5 / 5

13. Overdose
Here we get a trance-like dance style song….all about pills, and gettin’ high. I’ve gotta say, I’m not a big fan of popping pills and getting high but this song, I’ve gotta say makes it sound somewhat fun. I love the trance style music, something for you people on ecstacy can rave too!
4 / 5

14. Long Road
Everyone has a long road to their success. Only you can make your road end with success and when you reach that goal, take a breath and see where you’re going from there. This beat sounds much like T.I’s “Big Things Poppin”, which I personally fave and lyrically this song is just amazing.
5 / 5

15. Fuck Off
Hahahaha, country-ass Dirtball tetting haters to fuck off.
N/A

16. Party Parade
Ease back and get outta control. We get alot of funk from the D-Ball for everyone who wants to get their groove on and keepin’ your car cruisin’. Another party track with some funk is always a plus in my book!
4 / 5

17. Friends Past
“Rest In Peace to the ones who have passed. This rap goes out to the flames who didn’t know who even existed.” Truly a deep track to dear friends who have passed on and one to pour for the toast to the dead. Play this for your fallen ones.
4 / 5

18. The Paper (Feat. Blaze Ya Dead Homie)
The Dirtball and Blaze Ya Dead Homie team up on this banger, to bring you a tale of two psychos. Blaze just fucking rips this song up like a shotgun riddled with armor piercing shells, keeping it gangsta with that flow he brings. Psychopathic and Subnoize truly are united in this track and with the west coast feel, I feel like I’m listening to some old school Ice Cube.
5 / 5

19. Karma
We all knows what goes around, comes around. Big B and D-Ball reunite to show you how it goes when you start beef and get your karma. This is reality, one way or another karma will bite you in the ass! B and Ball bring it and spit the truth!
3 / 5

20. Spill Zone (Feat. Johnny Richter of the Kottonmouth Kings)
Richter and D-Ball are calling all alcoholics to the front and party out in the Spill Zone. A different party track for the drinkers out there wanting to take a shot in the spill zone. Gather your liquor and booze, drink it up and move to the next spot! If your in their area, you’re in the spill zone!
4 / 5

21. No Cops
Cops are not your friends and won’t let you win…..very true in some portions but it all depends. Stoners’ll alike will agree! The beat is upbeat and lyrically simple and if you smell bacon, bang this while the cops are nearby!
4 / 5

22. Rule the World
If you could rule the world, what would you do? Form a band? Steal someone’s girl? You could do anything! Loving the idea, the instrumentals and the concept. Truly out of Dirtball’s subject matter but in all honesty, this track is a feel good track too. Rule your world then rule THE world!
4 / 5

Verdict: Pick up this album! This one is truly a must buy for all rock fans out there who dig a little funk, old school sound and new school sounds blended together. Mic Lordz are really a force in music to be reckoned with. Pick this one up too, you won’t be disappointed!
