“Burn…this motha…f**cka…down”. To say that Killer Mike is pissed off would be an ignorant understatement. Nearly six months after revealing a snippet of the socially-conscious track, the Southern emcee has finally unveiled Burn, the first cut off his forthcoming project, PL3DGE. Producer Sweatbox’s live drums and atmospheric crowd chants lend a warm Southern air to Mike’s rhymes in this gritty assessment of modern day lower-class America. Employing a slow, deliberate flow, the Grand Hustle signee voices concerns about Obama, police brutality and the economy, to name just a few of his grievances. What Killer Mike lacks in wit & punchlines, he makes up for in honesty and realness: “she was livin’ reckless / just another ordeal a real ni**a gotta deal wit’”. This record is more of an experience than a piece of music - more likely to make you picket than to dance. Nevertheless, it’s a powerful effort by the Killer of ATL that promises to stir the emotions of all the political souls out there. PL3DGE drops (and the revolution begins) March 22.

Big fan of Mike's work. While I like the throwback production here, it's a little to easygoing and basic for Mike. He spits like he wants the record to catch up a bit, but his flow goes unchanged as the BPM counter remains the same throughout. Plus, Mike is at his best when he is really fiery and angry and here he is a laid back in comparison.

Z said it best. I'm waiting on that "Pressure" sound. When it comes to aggressive rap music, very few do it like Mike Bigga. Still, I'm anticipating the PL3DHE, even if it is on a label that died off along with it's "king".

Mike has sure switched his sound and style up the last couple of years, you'd hardly recognize him from the Outkast days. While I liked parts of this song, including that different production, Mike was pretty boring on here. Almost sounded like more of a preaching approach mixed with a chopped and screwed voice. I've heard better.

Having just reviewed the David Banner album I can't help but make the connection. Like Banner, Mike is a Southern emcee who flips between stripper anthems and deeply political cuts. While I like shakin it as much as the next man, I prefer Mike taking the serious approach. It's a good reminder that music can mean something, and sound dope.

Very political and socially controversial track and far from what I would expect from Killer Mike. But it works. Its life ppl, sometimes you get frustrated with everyday bullish.
