On CrownsDown, Themselves weld brute skill to a concrete set of tracks that represents an essential ten commandments of rap. In preparation, Doseone and Jel revisited their beloved hip-hop collections (e.g. Gang Starr, Ultramagnetic MCs, Public Enemy, Saafir) and whittled down the recurring themes that made their favorite records so sturdy. Each song on CrownsDown represents one of these archetypes--there's the "don't bite" song, the diss track, the story rap, the "bootleggers beware" song, and the "don't f*ck with my DJ" jam, and more. In this way, Themselves revisit something classic in order to invent their own future-school entry to the annals.1 Back II Burn 4:06 2 Oversleeping 3:15 3 The Mark 4:54 4 Gangster Of Disbelief 3:50 5 Daxstrong 3:37 6 You Ain't It 3:48 7 Roman Is As Roman Does 4:00 8 Skinning The Drum 3:34 9 Deadcatclear II 5:30 10 Gold Teeth Will Roll 4:00
