My_Kayla ft. Dre Walton - Right There [Music Video Review]

July 13, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Love, lust, and affairs of the heart are complicated, no matter the genetic makeup of those involved. This is a soulful infused modern rap story about those complications delivered in a stripped down flow by My_Kayla and sung to R&B perfection by Dre Walton.

The contrast between the two voices is perfection and adds a level of intrigue to this single.”

    Sean Stacks - That Realism (#FactsOnly) [Review]

    July 12, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “I dig the writing and the vocal tone of this track, but I do wish the mix had been tweaked. The backing chant often seems louder than the flow, and for me that was an unnecessary distraction.

    The message here is tight and meaningful, which is why I wish the vocals were brought forward and featured harder. However, these lyrics are so worth hearing that this track makes my worthwhile list just the same.”

        Marc Haize - Money On The Way [Review]

        July 08, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “Really dig the jazz opening and the piano is dope throughout. Often autotune makes it tough to stand out as unique, but ‘Money On The Way’ avoids that by changing up the flow with verses that are sang with autotune and a direct rap flow. The writing is sharp and overall this is a solid single worth listening to over and over again.”

          Nanu Alidina - Love Yourself [Review]

          July 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Hip-Hop, Conscious, Music

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Delivering an interesting structure to keeps this track fresh from start to finish, Toronto’s Nanu Aldina raps about his fulfillment as an artist, over the top of hard beats before switching up the flow by singing an extremely intimate chorus.

          The combination of soft melody and heavy rap flows work well to deliver a set of lyrics you can dig into.”

                      “Begins with an almost nursery rhyme like vibe that gives a bit of creep factor before a sick beat drops down with a bold, hardcore flow that hits so fast it take several listens to get the full effect.

                      ’Awaken’ is a track that stands out among a crowded feel with a unique, yet engaging sound that thumps with a hearty bass line.”

                                      “The beat isn’t the only elements of this tracks hitting hard. Lyrics that delivers truth in an easy, emotional flow. The tempo varies but this well-written set of lyrics speaks to humanity no matter the pace.

                                      ’New America’ is a song to listen to over and over again as you digest the layers of what is being said.”

                                        “Still June is on some other shxt and it is full of energy in his new single “All Me” He lyrically flows and the beat elevates that. When listening you can imagine him going in the booth the beat dropping and he just spitting. ”
