Music and lyrics

Allrovi wrote that the musical style of Multikillionaire: The Devil's Contract is a fusion of "Funkadelic guitar funk and Def Jam-era Rick Rubin-influenced beats". [1] Regarding the album's lyrical content, Allrovi wrote "the group doesn't rely so much on perverse sex, morbid obsessions, or heretical talk but rather attitude here to make their music interesting." [1]

Reception

Allrovi reviewer Jason Birchmeier wrote that "This album isn't as realized as WWW.COM , but it's closer than any preceding Natas album." [1]

Still, even if he unethically creates an innovative-for-its-time sound that merges Funkadelic guitar distortion with hard mid-'80s Def Jam-like beats, the often ridiculous lyrics ruin whatever validity the music may have."
