(CROWN ME KING)

It’s been a long minute since I last covered this man. A man whose identity (inside and out of music) is exactly the same. You don’t get that many people like that anymore, and his music reflects that!

Some of the most high-energy, big-performance feel comes from his records, and with the hype and roster on this one, I’m expecting nothing less than the same hardcore tunes I’ve come to expect from the man himself, and in his own words.

CROWN ME KING!

This is the brand-new and final record of 2025 for Producer/MC Nam Nitty! Accompanying him is the gargantuan list of names such as:

-PILLZBURY 

-BUB ROCK

-KING NOVA

-PETER LEO

-THE BAD SEED

-BULLY BLOCK

-RAH SUN

-VOICE WATKINS

-PRETTY P

-ENZO GLOBE

-J SOS

-NEEZ NO GOOD

-BARZ 4DAYZ

-JOHN JIGG$

-REEK THE VILLAIN

-KAESON SKRILLA

-MAXX BOND

-SPLASH631

That list is already half the review, and I ain’t even said anything yet! That’s fucking wild.

See, what’s interesting to me is that Nam is one of those names who consistently has a party worth of names attached to his records, and I bring this up because I’ll often praise artists who are able to carry an LP or EP on just solo merits alone. 

Although I stand firm on that stance, the thing to note about Nam is the fact that he’s reminiscent of a Lil Jon type. We all know and remember that Lil Jon had no problem during his early ‘Eastside Boyz’ record days to take over the record with his relentless energy alone! He made himself a household name before he ever branched out to the names glory feature name he’s now associated with.

Nam is that same kind of cat, although he could very easily rock an album just him, his raw beats, and his unrivalled intensity, but he chooses to use his skills as a hype man to encourage and incorporate like-minded and similar energy individuals to accompany him on his albums to put it bluntly, 

‘TEAR THE FUCKING HOUSE DOWN’

And that’s exactly what happens on these songs! Nam and the gang jump on and wreck shop with their various charisma and cadences, with their own unique and individual takes on verses, bars, flow, lyricisms, rhythms. They are all different but all high-octane energy as to maintain the large sonic flame of the record and never let it die down!

They all take turns demolishing the instrumentals, verse after verse, savage dissection of the beat after further musical slaughter until there’s nothing left of the beat to save!

As is commonplace with Nam, he hires underground MC Hitmen! Brutal figures who couldn’t give a fuck about radio hits or Grammys or any awards or recognitions. Their careers are focused on dismantling instrumentals, wrecking a beat and coming full force with an MC pack mentality so formidable and forceful that you’d be scared to attempt a feature amongst the family that Nam recruits! A true lyrical massacre! 

When we discuss the production, if you’re expecting Nam to have that intense level of lyricism firing on all cylinders and not have production rough enough to match? Get the fuck outta here! If the MC’s are savages it’s only because they are enraged by the hypnotic production that Nam created!

Across this tape we hear his trademark rugged, rude, raw and reckless expression of sounds and boom bap influences of the highest calibre! If you’re new to his music and want a visual of what to expect

Imagine if Onyx, M.O.P and DMX had a sonic baby that was born a cocaine addict like Royce Da 5’9 and that’s what this album is! Every beat is out to kill, absolutely murderous tunes that will force the listener to mean-mug the world and look at every business as a quick cash investment (if you know you know)

I mentioned Lil Jon above and in production the same formula applies! A sort of gutter/street equivalent of dance songs for the hood! Songs that only the realest of the real can groove to! That’s what this sounds like, songs with heavy drums, disgustingly plucked bass strings, haunting piano keys and all done in the most sadistic & masterful ways possible! 

The day Nam releases a subtle album is the day hell freezes over! I finished my shift half an hour ago and I’m still sitting here bumping my head and mean mugging my lunch area table and probably scaring everyone who walks in to clock in because this album is too fucking ridiculous!!

I gotta say I did love the track -PRODUCT OF REAGANANOMICS due to the obvious nod to The Notorious BIG and his song (Everyday Struggle) an inspiration they did beautifully! 

Yes, at this point CROWN HIM KING! When it comes to this lane of production and verses no one can touch him. He doesn’t go HAM he goes fucking NAM! He’s got some of the realest music out and if you don’t believe me, click the link below, fuck around and find out!
