Andy Pervel Everyone involved deserves high praise for this album. The production is crisp, man, and Random always goes hard!

Paul Bunyan This album tells an incredible story and gives fans a closer view at the eternal fight between Dracula and the Belmont clan. All of the tracks are hot, Sammus really brought her A game on the production tip. And Mega Ran and The Ranger portray two different characters with a shared destiny. I'm not much of a Castlevania player but, this tale is quite a concept, and well versed for a hip-hop album. I think fans and the curious listeners with agree. Favorite track: Sweet Sorrow w/Sammus and The Ranger.

They say the only thing required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. Verse 1 No whip in the hand, kickin a can Hurt in my heart and revenge in the plans I get in my stance, everything's dark, Dagger equipped and its ever so sharp Hundreds have entered, to never depart The most dangerous mission I'll ever embark Is in front of my eyes, a castle so vast, Must overcome it and Tackle my past My father is mad, my mother is dead Can't get the memories out of my head In the midst of my steps, I'm greeted by death Who tells me nicely it's best if I left But he don't understand, The mission at hand, It's easy to retreat And that's why I stand, Do all that I can - We gettin it in Cuz Dracula's castle has risen again Hook Check - it -- Dracula's been ressurec-ted It's getting all kinds of hec-tic, Now they say I got a death-wish Just-this... One time I'll take my place on the front line My luck has gotta change some time I gotta sever the blood line Verse 2 When My father rises he's put back to rest The Belmonts are always equipped for the test, The talent and nerve, The skill they possess But yet, we got a whole different mess, Usually after he meets he defeat, He's in a coffin and deep in a sleep, Licking his wounds, but he hasn't learned Now he decides that he wants to return But not on time, he had a surprise, Early to bed, early to rise Use-lly a 100, now he's back in 5 Anticipating a hero to rise But it seems that richter isn't around Looked up and down, nowhere to be found, So there was no choice, I do what I must, Destined to bring the castle to dust HOOK Check - it -- Dracula's been ressurec-ted It's getting all kinds of hec-tic, Now they say I got a death-wish Just-this... One time I'll take my place on the front line My luck has gotta change some time I gotta sever the blood line Verse 3 This ain't a movie though I play a part, It'll take more than a stake to the heart, Garlic is useless and bullets of silver Bounce off his chest if he ever is near ya Undoubtedly this particular plight Fighting the being that's given me life It's Rough, .i Gotta face my father, ..cause I can't let him take my honor This has gone on for a century so know it can't take no longer Searched every crevice and corridor Taught to research for u Go to war They say hes Stronger than 20 men Got to be nimble if you wanna win We goin in, My prayers are said I cautiously walk in the lair ahead HOOK Check - it -- Dracula's been ressurec-ted It's getting all kinds of hec-tic, Now they say I got a death-wish Just-this... One time I'll take my place on the front line My luck has gotta change some time I gotta sever the blood line
