Swollen Members - Red Dragon
Artist: Swollen Members
Producer: Rob The Viking
Album: Armed to the Teeth
Label: Battleaxe Records
The Swollen Members’ collective moniker speaks volumes about the Vancouver-based trio’s style—if you guessed “crass, confrontational, and unapologetically underground,” you’re right on the money. New to the Booth but not to the game (the group dropped their debut studio album back in 1999) Mad Child, Prevail, and Rob the Viking have reunited with original Member Moka Only to give listeners the first taste of their long-awaited Armed to the Teeth LP. Premiered last Friday on Sirius/XM’s Jason Ellis Show, Red Dragon finds Rob serving up a propulsive chopped-piano instrumental as his fellow Members (and ex-Member) spit a high-impact mix of braggadocio and blood-soaked trash talk—Mad Child’s maniacal, almost helium-voiced middle verse is especially memorable. Those digging this aggressive, amped-up jam can get their full-length fix October 13th, when the Swollen Members’ latest studio album hits online retailers and record shops everywhere.

this is not my style either, but its far from garbage. Production is hype, good workout music. I remember Swollen Member's from a while back. My homegirl loved these cats music. Its good to see them back at it.

It's bowling night, so I have to make my feedback quick tonight. Dope production, 90's-era rhyme style, and high energy make this a hit in my book. Not for everyone - that is for sure - but the right elements exist to impress.

Not really my style either but I agree with BDF. It's not garbage. The songs got energy and these artists flow on this beat pretty well. Fun song.

Love Swollen Members! The beat is old, moka only's verse is old too. I think it's off a b-sides album. But madchild and prevail's verses are new. Shit is Hot!

A-Yo! that beat demands an instant head-on. The energy presented here by both beats and rhymes is enuff to keep me hooked for a few more listens ...
Madchild's verse busts hardest over the hyped production by Rob, while the other MC's hold steady with brag raps as well ... Rotation-Suff. |

I'm glad these guys got back together...they were all over the radio at the beginning of the millenium. Its definitely a change of pace from the mainstream but that's what makes it good.

Check out Lady Venom, one of the sickest beats I've heard. It's old but some may not know them since they are Canadian
