Pledge (stylized as PL3DGE) is the fourth studio album by American hip hop recording artist Killer Mike.

The album, which is his third in the I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind series, was supported by the lead single "Ready Set Go", featuring Grand Hustle label-boss and fellow American rapper T.I.

During an interview for HipHopDX, Mike commented on the political trend[2] of the album saying: Yeah, I got concerns that they’re gonna kill me.

But I will never allow media to fool me to somehow think that just because a black kid from Marcy Projects becomes a billionaire the tables are fair when he’s standing next to a man who’s worth $56 billion.

But putting their money next to Buffett, Carlos Slim out of Mexico, the Nigerian and East Indian billionaires, they just become regular people again.

It’s just saying that if you allow you idols to be judged on a game or playing field that they didn’t create, you’re gonna be saying you think they’re in the Illuminati.

[5] The album received favorable reviews overall, with Mosi Reeves of Spin giving the album a 7 out of 10, stating, "The former OutKast associate tones down the crack talk in favor of diatribes against Sarah Palin and Nancy Pelosi ("That's Life II") and the Christian church.

Instead it’s just served to make him hungry, and for large parts of Pl3dge he finds his own lane, standing above his peers from his illustrious hometown.
