    Typical DJ Khaled release. There are a couple decent tracks, but the only really good track is "Hip Hop". Otherwise, the rest is skippable and not worth your money at all.

    Kiss the ring has a song for everyone, the album is a mix of different styles of hip hop and r&b which makes it a really good album. best songs are "bitches and bottles", "they ready" & "hip-hop".

    Though its combative title suggests Khaled cares little for anybody's approval, Kiss the Ring ends up more of a formulaic slugging match than any collection of genuine rap prize-fighters really should.

    Kiss drags in the second half, but Khaled's relentless yelling makes sure you'll at least stay awake. [7 Sep 2012, p.75]

    Khaled goes through his hip-hop Rolodex yet again and compiles a strong collection of MCs and producers to add some shine to his latest musical collage.
