MadChild - Dungeon Dragon

MadChild!  He's back!  And ready to rap your face off while he's at it.  "Dungeon Dragon" is the first single from his King of Pain EP.  You might wonder dungeon dragon?  Didn't Nicki Minaj recently take that line for a spin and end it for a while?  The answer is: no.  While Nicki did her thing in 2010, MadChild is doing his own thing now.  This isn't aggressive chick rap.  This is exactly what Vancouver's best does best.  Think Swollen Members with Prevail on a sick day.  Well, that's kind of exactly how to describe "Dungeon Dragon."

"Dungeon Dragon" is Madchild's announcement to the world that he's back, and he's serious.  I'm a fan of the interesting background tunes, as always.  I can't like a good rap song without them.  He also throws in Swollen Members, that's a name to remember.  Can't argue with that.  And the chorus?  MadChild steers clear of the the in-your-face bit and instead chops his words up a bit and does that lovely subdued route.  "Dungeon Dragon" is lovely rap, after all.  You can think of it as a prologue too, of greatness to come.
