“Tossing out a chill, relaxed flow, JO24 drops these lyrics today that are words of importance. If you don’t take the time to ‘Learn Today,’ the lessons will come at your hard and fast somewhere down the road.
The video starts a bit slow, but overall the visuals and vibe of the imagery is a good fit for the track.”
“Flow’etic drops a nice flow here that delivers a well-written set of conscious lyrics. When you have something genuine to say, there is no need for unnecessary smoke and mirrors in the production, and this is a single that proves that. Give it a listen.”
“Chill and chilling. That’s how I’d describe ‘Pavement.’ The flow is tranquil and calm, yet the lyrics are dirt and grit. There is nothing fancy going on here, but there doesn’t need to be. True, honest emotion, delivered with authenticity.”
“A snaking melody and a steady beat frame a flow with some true vocal hook to it.
Hard not to sing along with this banger.”
“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.”
“Like the flow and vibe of the song. Also like how the artist goes back and forth between singing and rapping effortlessly. ”
Rating: 3.5
“ Smooth vibes. Very relaxing and I could see it being used as a show intro or outro. Very dope. ”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“ 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. ”

“Look At Blu Spirit now as he hit us with lyrical flow and dope ass energy. The whole production is full of energy and his flow is so hard to describe you just have to listen to the song to really feel his talent. ”
“Oh yeah, ‘Outer” is about getting wa ... aaay out there, and enjoying what is going right in front of your face.
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.”
“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.”
“Tracks like this are important, because they highlight that you can come through whatever it is your dealing with. ‘15 Years alter’ brings a direct flow, delivered with truth and raw emotion. All without being filtered through necessary smoke and mirrors.”
“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.”
“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. ”
“Netherfriend delivers a prolific track called “Finesse”. With a cadence that releases a hip-hop sound this is one track that will have you singing along. ”
