Back with my first original material in months. This track details some things I was going through during a bad period recently, so hopefully you can see where I'm coming from on this one.

New album on the way. Peace

Ok, playing as I feed. Beat is cool, nothing amazing, but something I'd spit to too. Now we starting, I like how this is mixed with the voice sounded like it's off a phone or radio or some shit, I like how it breaks it up, some parts hard to hear tho.

Ok verse started quick with great delivery and a nice scheme at the start. It's mellowing out now, gonna give it a sec....

First verse was dope I like the delivery, I feel like this is one of you better sounds I can remember. The hook is alright, the verses are the bigger highlight here no doubt. Overall this was a nice little track out together, mixing is cool, verse was dope, especially first part with sweet scheme in it.


Solid drop here elite!

I just want to preface this with the fact that I'm new and have a fairly mainstream point of view in terms of what I like in terms of musical quality. 

The first thing anyone hears is the hook and I think there's a really really strong idea here. The background voice with distortion / pitch shifting is incredible ~ even in terms of the mixing it was so clear I understood everything you said. Great job on that. My only hesitation with it, what separates this from being perfect is the "something lasts forever". There should be a bit more variation, change the pitch for every other "ever", like speak it a pitch/tone lower (right now you're implying an "E" for every ever, drop the second one down to a "Db" notation wise). It will add some color/variation. 

Lyrically I think this is hella strong, once again great job on that. The verse is definitely the highlight, emotionally charged, lyrically potent, and the flow is hella smooth. Overall, great job!

Thanks man! There actually is a 4th layer with variation on the Ever, but it is rather quiet. Im gonna be tweaking and re-recording some bits for this for the album version.

Get at me in my PM bro, i would really love to have you do one of those dope ass singing hooks that you had on Shortcomings of Society.

Word! Okay yeah, maybe boost that or make it the main layer for the second ones or something of the sort just to help that lower note come through. Great track though, can't wait to hear what other stuff you've got.

Will do! I'm glad you dug it!

EDIT: Not yet a "Groupie" on the site as soon as I hit it I'll PM you lol.

first thing, the beat is nice. simple but effective with a nice synth coming through in the background. 

your voice sounds very dope with the telephone effect on it for the adlibs. in fact, your voice sounds nice for the whole track except maybe the hook. there's something i cant vibe to about it.. i think it just needed a little more experimenting with your voice, maybe a softer tone or something. im no expert on singing though lol. 

dope concept too. 

overall its a nice track bro, i fuck with it!!

haha yyeeaaaa! love the arrangement bro. very epic, imo, the way u breakdown each segment to their own element. beats dope too man. ur beat, right? my only gripe was that i wish it was a bit longer, i guess depending on how u take it, it can be a good thing or bad thing. delivery was crisp, lyrics was ill.

This was flames man had some heavy J Cole vibes especially that one flow you hit near the middle of the track. Awesome single.

The beat was cool. Had a west coast feel to it sounds like something you'd drive to on a hot day. It added to the atmosphere of what the track was all about. The hook was good, it was snappy and a quotable imo. Your mic presence and flow were on point, I didn't hear you scrambling to fit a line in or finish one early to leave the beat hanging. The lyrics in general were dope, didn't have a problem with them. Only thing I wasn't too keen on was the long intro but if that was your intention then fuck it lol. Good stuff man, keep it up.

I like this. Not much I can say that's different than what others said. Your hook vocals could be a little louder, as the beat overwhelms the vocals a bit. The hook is where your voice should be louder, so maybe sum all the layered vocal tracks together and put them through a compressor so all parts sound equally loud.
Insert something rappy here
