Details:
This is the original "Independent Game" compilation that was released after B. Down's RAP TACTICS album.

As stated in the All Music Guide review reprinted below, B. Down is heavily involved on the majority of the album, and features a variety of guest artists from L.A., the Bay Area, and even the UK. Production is handled by B. Down and others, and the range of styles on the album is great for those who like compilation CDs.

Of course, being a Rap Junkie Records release, there are plenty of tracks with bangin' beats, strong bass lines, and "street" lyrics.

Check out the sample tracks to see for yourself. We are sure you will agree that it's definitely a tight rap compilation.

-----------

Though in form a compilation album for Rap Junkie Records, Independent Game actually functions more like another B. Down album. The Los Angeles-based rapper/entrepreneur handles most of the songs on the album - to be exact, B. Down either writes, co-writes, or produces 15 of the album's 17 songs. So there's a good chance if you've enjoyed B. Down's past albums - Rap Tactics and The L.A. Rap Junkie - then you'll probably enjoy this compilation as well. Some of the other rappers making appearances include Blue Steel, Poppin' Fresh, Drastic, J. Dandridge, Mr. Sinatra, Big Rags, and more. The music is very much grounded in the West Coast gangsta rap idiom, particularly the Los Angeles strain. B. Down isn't particularly gangsta, but his roster of guests definitely is.
