Open Mic: [KOTM] Since we last spoke

A very impressive entry/recording. I listened to the recording first before I read through the verse and it somewhat had a greater impact. Your voice really 'matched' the beat and content displayed, it was calm but also vibrant at the right parts, nicely delivering the layers of emotion. And this made it even better, overall. Your verse, on its own, was also really interesting. Loved the 'exit door' and 'inner famine' lines, outstanding one liners imo. Almost every line felt very genuine and relatable to a certain degree. The 'summit' line felt slightly repetitive content-wise, but that's only cos you delivered the central theme here pretty well in the preceding lines. As I said, I'm truly impressed by this. 

Aye Rut, first time hearing an audio from you.Glad you're stepping out of your comfort zone.I think you know about the mixing aspect but that just comes with practice. If I were you, I would send to someone on here to edit for you. It would make your entry that much harder. It's amazing what good mixing can do. Moving along to your flow and delivery. I thought that it felt very one line-ish. It was like one line, break, 2 line, break. I thought that you could've went with a more smooth/fluid approach there. It wasn't awful by any means, it reminded me of my first ever audio. Some may say you were reading. If you were or not it doesn't matter to me bc if your command that mean and your lyrics and are confident on the mic you really cannot tell the difference. Obviously if you're more comfortable with the words you can deliver it that much harder. But I read all my verses for the most part. The content was nice though, it seemed different that your normal writing style. I'd like to hear you with your regular style on a polished audio.

audio/flow/delivery, this was good for your first time, and you recorded in one shot. you will find practicing your audio and finding the right speed n delivery as hard as writing.

On The text side . . .
 

Sometimes i speak to demons i be preaching when i see 'em But they don't no heed no reason they just wanna see me bleeding Tell me whats the meaning, tell me or i'm leaving Tell me why the exit door is looking more appealing

 
Good intro here. Kicks it off nice
 

Tell me is this heaven or A hell that got me fleeting

 
Did you mean ‘Fleeing’? At first I thought this was a typo, but on the audio it sounds like you are saying ‘fleeting’ as well. Different meanings. Fleeting don’t really make sense by definition in that line. . but ya know. .thats just me nit picking lol
 

Am I listening to the devil or an angel caused these feelings Tell me why I'll never fall, With ya'll to keep me breathing Then tell me why I'm beggin yall to sell me four more seasons Tell me like ya mean it, when you tell me i'm worth something, Sell me a memory, that could burst the numbness Sell me a better dream, tell me that it's coming Sell me the best of me Tell me please my brother Tell me bout redemption yell me when it's coming

 
I like the repetition of tell, sell. A lot of people look down on it. That’s usually how you can spot a pure text head from an audio head. Because repetition when used correctly can make lines buttery smooth in audio. The emotional aspect seems to be kicking up a notch here as well.
 

If its to hell with me, still tell it me one hundred,

 
Awkwardly worded here
 

No need to act with me The only act you needs my cover Thats the act i use to function, As I balance on the summit Catching each bad string the saddest ever number, I been casting all the summer trynna mask what i'm becoming But i'm cracking as rupture self attacking inner structures Self awareness got me smothered till i'm gasping in the gutter

 
Seems like the technical aspect of your writing really kicked in at the end here. Much more complex in thought and cleaner multis
 

Inner famine in a struggle, ain't no glamour to this hustle No compassion for no others Now my passion is the slumber It distract me from the damage so i actually recover It's a sanctuary then back to me to clamber through the rubble

 
Yea man, this all ended and wrapped up nicely man
 
On the audio side.
 
The gaps between the words is not a bad thing as long as you are rhyming inside the down beat. For the most part, you did that, but you have to fill in the gaps between so it don’t sound broken. You either do this by adlibbing or adding a slight enough echo that it will pull through those gaps between the words and fill the dead air.
 
@:58, flow got pretty messy there man. I think it was the wording. Sometimes, you just have to go back and revise the wording so that you can transfer it onto audio better
 
@1:24, it seemed like you just got a hell of a lot more comfortable with the beat and started to sit down on your flow. It got much better at that point
 
So, yea man. This all equates to inexperience in recording. That first transition from audio to text is brutal. Until you start to smooth things out and get more comfortable behind the mic and learning all the little tricks and mixing techniques to make it sound good. Trust me, ive been recording for a year and I still suck at mixing and recording lol Just find a software you like. Invest in a decent mic, and keep recording. At some point, things will start to click and you will get better.
 
Now overall, the verse did a good job of demonstrating how the text translates to audio and works within the meter of the topic + audio. At the end of the day, that is the purpose of us putting this in audio form. Good entry here man.
 

I think you can go a long way with audio. .  so id like to see you keep at it man

Yeah Rutter, this was dope.


First Audio and i think you did pretty damn good. I mean, lets put it this way, you make Barrybonds look like a fucking retard and hes doing this for years. I can see you easily becoming a threat on the mic if you keep up with it. There was a few hiccups but im not gonna bash you on your first audio drop. Its not like im a audiohea. Really impressed on the way this came out. The text doesnt to this justice. Props my friend. 

Thanks Law and Dizz and everyone else again with the feed. I'm writing something else i wanna record, gone more for my usual style just need to find a time where everyone's out the house and get it done.

Verse ends at 1:50 but accidental humour ensues shortly after lol. This drop awesome man, the flow you had going was natural and really aesthetically pleasing to my earballs. I mean eyeholes. I mean good shit man! Look forward to hearing more from you

Content was dope as hell, which is to be expected. the only downside is the quality but u probably had a makeshift home set up so thats not ur fault. overall, pleasantly suprise, big homie!

Says the former phone drop champion

Appreciate the feed nig, sam n doom. Glad ya'll gave it a listen. Another ones coming soon.
