Kidz In The Hall - Pledge Allegiance to the Dope
Artist: Kidz In The Hall
Featuring: Curren$y , Mikkey Halsted
Producer: DJ Double O
Album: Brain Candy Series (Week 2)
Label: Duck Down Music
This week’s serving of Brain Candy, The Kidz in the Hall’s new weekly series, simply pays homage to “the dope sh*t.” With contributions from New Orleans’ Curren$y and the always-thoughtful Mikkey Halsted, Pledge Allegiance to the Dope details a life of luxury: making dope music and sipping only the dopest champagne. The first verse to glide over DJ Double O’s hazy guitar riff and 80s pads is courtesy of Curren$y, who gives us snapshots of what it’s like to be him (wait till you see what he does with Polar bear rugs). Next on the mic is Freestyle Alum Naledge, showcasing some intricate wordplay and coldly dissing one of my favorite chill spots: “I make bread, never gotta eat at Applebee’s.” (Can that 2 for $20 deal be beaten? I think not.) The last verse comes from Halsted, who talks less about luxury and more about dope - the noun. There’s not a whole lot of substance to Pledge, but there’s a good chance the guitar riff in it will be stuck in your head for days to come. Those whose allegiances also rest with “the dope” can look forward to next week’s addition of Brain Candy. Keep it locked.

Any song title that starts with " Pledge Allegiance To The ______" has lofty expectations to meet. Though the newest offering from Kidz in the Hall falls short of anthemic status, it is certainly what the title indicates (and that is dope).

From meeting these guys 4 years ago when they were starting out, to seeing where they have come musically, is just satisfying and humbling for me. Double O has evolved tremendously on the boards, and Nawledge is easily one of the most respected MC's out there for true hip hop heads. He stays hungry, and a week doesn't go by on any hip hop blog where you won't see something new from him.
As for this song alone, it should really get people buzzing on their Brain Candy series. It just may be the best weekly release since GOOD Fridays. |

As Courtland wrote in the intro this track isn't going to change anyone's life, but three dope emcees rhyming over a dope beat? What is there to complain about?

Very dope track. Kidz In The Hall fell off a little their last album, hopefully this is what brings them back. I like So Amzin better but this track is good too.
