Rap-Up.com || New Music: T.I. f/ Rick Ross – ‘Pledge Allegiance to the Swag’

The King of the South partners with the Teflon Don for a new collabo titled “Pledge Allegiance to the Swag,” dedicated to getting and keeping your money up. Over a spooky operatic beat, Tip keeps his pledge, rapping, “I stay on my grind, ’cause that comes first,” while staking his position in hip-hop. “Jay say he made the blueprint my n***a, this the motherfu**in’ foundation.”

Rawse tacks a verse on the nearly eight-minute song, demanding respect: “Young n****s bow down to the kings/ In the presence of a don, pay respect, kiss my ring.” Not sure if there can be two Kings of the South, but this J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League production is something we can salute.

this is what I’m talking about, you tell he had a lot penned up upon writing this album, “I’m Back, Yeah You Know (Takers), Ya Hear Me & Pledge Allegiance to the Swag” are all in your face type of tracks, gotta love it ….. I told ppl 2yrs ago that once everything was over with that T.I. will go back to his old style & he has, but he’s much more sharp than b4

Looks like T.I. WILL be going back to jail after being arrested with ecstasy in California, how stupid can you be?? King Uncaged will be a good album though.

I partially agree Drew! But in a way, I think he will be fine.
