Doubelievengod is the third album by Natas, released in 1995.

Contents

Music and lyrics

Describing the music and lyrics, Allrovi called Doubelievengod "a much more mature album in terms of both production and rapping. Most obviously, the platter of samples is gone; for whatever reasons, the emphasis is now on synth-driven beats [...] The move toward eerie synth actually works in this album's favor, given its malevolent slant and ominous tone". [1]

Reception

Allrovi reviewer Jason Birchmeier writes that Doubelievengod "holds a special place in the Esham legacy alongside the Judgement Day albums as the summit of not necessarily his talent but rather his wickedness." [1]
