Dax - Did It First [Music Video Review]

June 05, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Hip-Hop, Rap, Conscious

Rating: 5 out of 5

“Did I First” intro is so long prior to the song starting at 1:20 but it is worth the wait. From story telling to suspense Dax artistically combines his flow and his lyrics into a prophecy. ”

    River Nelson - Today [Review]

    June 03, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “This is one of those tracks that surprises you. Take any ten or fifteen second snippet and you might think what is this basic beat and flow? But listen for a beat or two longer and the nuances settle in, and the lyrics penetrate, and you realize ... Damn, I have so been there ... had these same feeling of needing, and wanting something good to happen ‘Today.’

    This is a single that feels like it came straight from your own inner dialogue. If only your own inner dialogue came with a snappy beat and a fresh flow with a slight reggae hint to it.”

      DVTCH NORRIS - Save Us (ft. Rori) [Music Video Review]

      May 31, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Conscious, Hip-Hop

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “So many songs lyrics are filled with bluster and bravado, and far too often, the entire things feels like contrived bullshit.

      ’Save Us’ is full of confidence as well, and yet the single takes an entirely different approach to get there. From a beautiful pleading chorus sand by Rori, to the hard edged flow of Dvtch Norris, this one feels real and raw and openly breaks down the fears and insecurities without hiding behind the all-too-common false narrative of ... I’m a bad ass.

      A real bad ass is willing to show us the dark places as well as the joy, the hopes and the confidence. This single does that very well.”

        “I walked around the room with this blasting then I played it a little while longer. As I got ready to switch screens I found myself still hearing “We On” playing in my head. Need less to say this is how you know a song rides and Chrys has that with his debut single. ”

            Rating: 4.5 out of 5

            “Smooth, soulful, and packing an emotional punch, ‘7’ takes you on a ride through the streets via a video, but the magic here is such that you don’t need the visual of the video to take that same trip. The lyrics and delivery are capable of taking you there all by themselves, so sit back, listen up, and enjoy the ride.”

                                  “Smooth flow and honest, true lyrics that tap into emotions we’ve all felt while simultaneously wondering if the world has passed us by, and if we somehow have already seen and experienced all the best things.

                                  A groove best sampled while reflecting on life and sipping the adult beverage of your choice.”

                                      “Da$Htone reminds us not to stay “Frozen” but to learn more so we can grow into our highest elevation. With soulful features from L.A. Van Gogh and Manasseh to warm us up.”

                                      “The world will try to keep you frozen..” please do not doubt this. They will buy you with comfort, demand your complacency, and await your stagnation. Sacrifice your time on this earth consciously, and with purpose. Sacrifice and surrender often look similar in practice, but one of these is unacceptable. Never surrender, never subside; nourish the fire in your soul and don’t EVER find yourself amongst the frozen.

                                        ““Tell Me” gives women exactly what they want. This single delivers a dance yet seductive vibe with the electrifying sound of the guitar playing over the lyrics. ”
