Yes Please - New Friends [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“I like this one for the truths it drops. Basically calling out people for a variety of bullshit, this is a track that reminds us all, not to take everything so serious.
With a steady beat and a vocals that stay within themselves, this song relies on simplicity to deliver the goods.”

Flamenco Sketch - Flower [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Nice and easy, this is a flow that you fall into with no effort. Like a conversation with a friend. Which is contrast to the lyrical content which focus on being misunderstood. This contrast is a great metaphor for how we often feel alone even when surrounded by others, because it is rare for people to understand how you are truly feeling on the inside.”
Ryan Caraveo - Run [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A steady pace, delivered on the slower side was the perfect choice to unleash this set of lyrics about being on the ‘Run.’ The irony compliments the words on one level, but also helps emphasizes the subtle point that sometimes running becomes a lifelong thing you can’t quite escape.”
Marc Haize - Mango Lime [Review]
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
“I was pulled in by the straight forward, honest feel to these lyrics. I also appreciated the rawness of single and the fact the production did not opt for autotune embellishments and other tricks, but got out of the way and let the emotions shine through.”
offrami, Valleyz, Mougleta, Rotex - Call The Police [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“An intriguing array of voices and a simple but infectious melody hooked me here, before I fully understood the concept of the lyrics. But hey, who hasn’t wanted to see the one they just broke up with carted off to jail, so that side of this track is pretty dope as well.
It is not easy to drop a pop song these days that truly feels unique, but this one hit me that way. There are so many different musical influences at work here that it is a tough single to truly categorize, but the commercial appeal is obvious. Through multiple listens my interest never waned.”
Poloneius Pluck - BossMan ft Rebel Raw [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Sometimes you just gotta say it straight and direct. Poloneius Pluck is the ‘Bossman’ here as he deliver his truth, his confidence, and his mantra for the world. The reggae vibe gives a good contrast and takes this one to another level.”
CANTRELL - Gold Roses (Freestyle) [Music Video Review]
Rating: 4 out 5
“ You have to give people their roses while they are still alive. In ‘Gold Roses’ Cantrell not only talks about his journey but the influences he has passed along the way. In this visual he uses the simple poster board to display a time line that led to his success. ‘Gold Roses’ because good or bad every year was golden. ”

Rating: 5 out of 5

Cool vibe musically and vocally this is one to fire up while firing up. A nice combination of old school, modern, and funk infused Hip-Hop.”
Handbook - Tie My Hands [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“Poetic and poignant, ‘Tie My Hands,’ rides a steady beat and direct vocals to a message that hits home.
This is the kind of track you need to sit quietly and digest, but it is the kind of song that is well worth the time and effort to do so.”

“This is a fun, jazzy track with a beat that thumbs like your heartbeat giving it a natural, hip-hop groove that is hard not to move in rhythm with.
The vocal flow is both sweet and sexy at the same time, and lyrically it puts a new spin on being happy in love.”
Carlos Bryant - Friends (feat. Don Quez) [Review]
Rating: 4 out of 5
“A dark, almost ethereal, melody and beat set the tone for a set of lyrics that come at you with a steady and emotional flow. The track unfolds like inner dialogue for the first three minutes before morphing into a statement on coping with the world. Almost feels like two songs, but poignant all the way through. ”
