Michael Laroy - Stuck on You [Music Video Review]

August 05, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Conscious, Hip-Hop, Music Videos

Rating: 4 out 5

“Just like Michaels’ heart shaped shades we are loving the simple yet relaxed visual for “Stuck On You”. Accompanied by infused guitar strings Michael secludes himself as he talks about a love he once had.”

      Chuuwee - September's Very Own [Review]

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Straight spittin’ flow with life!

      Sometimes it’s nice to hear a flow that drops true and direct without unnecessary smoke and mirrors. Layer in lyrics that say it and vocals that deliver and the result is pure entertainment. I am on board! ”

          “The talent of Lil MC is obvious whether she is singing her vocals, or delivering them in a rapid steady flow.

              “Powerful and entertaining ... Enlightening and evoking ... this is conscious Hip-Hop at its best!

              Words of passion, anger, heart, and drive are delivered atop a soothing melody which stands in contrast with the world we live in. And yet, there are always moments of hope and light and good. This song captures it all. ”

                              “Straight up. When you’re talking top shelf — be it liquor or music — you don’t need a bunch of unnecessary stuff tossed into the mix. ‘Ghost’ is the kind of track that proves that with a straight-up beat, and a steady linear flow that hits with truth and passion and an underlying wisdom.

                                  “Take your time to listen to this track because I can assure you PuffHost delivers a 90s vibe in this digital age. They give their ideology supported with their own experience on how to take your time”

                                    “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.”

                                      “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.”

                                        “Sampa is the type of entertainer that is simply hard to look away from and ‘OMG’ is a high energy track that will get you moving and singing along from the very first listen”
