Chuuwee - September's Very Own [Review]

August 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

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! ”

    “Smooth and easy ... all the way through.

      August 01, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

      Rating: 4 out of 5

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

      This song and video carry a dark, but honest tone that had me leaning forward to fully comprehend and digest the lyrics. ”
      — Travis Erwin (LA on Lock Blogger)
      LiL MC first music video filmed, directed, and edited by Jamie DeWolf, host of Tourettes without Regrets. Cameos by Kaila Love and B-nasty and steady-cam by Adam Parmalee. Special thanks and support by Unlearn the World, Jane the Message, Lillian Hanson, Mandi Capuano and Shiva the snake.

        “A nice blend of pop vocals and a steady stream-of-consciousness flow that mixes humor and truth to keep me hooked. The video captures the easy going vibe and this is a single to sing along with while you think about life.”

          “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. ”

              “The video is the perfect compliment to this track. Without it I am unsure the lyrics would resonate as well as they do, but the beat is steady and the performance engaging enough to hold my focus start to finish.”

                        “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. All without any fancy embellishments.”

                            “Slithering up on you, ‘Mamba’ is a track that sort of bites you unexpectedly. Some tracks wow you instantly and some are more of a slow burn that leaves you surprised how drawn into the song you got.

                            Varying vocals styles persist in this one from Loss Cozz, but still the track builds and builds both musically and lyrically until it wraps up with an almost carnival like sound, leaving you to wonder how exactly the sound got to that point. ”

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

                                “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.”

                                "Right There" is the first music video off of emerging artist My_Kayla's debut album The 20th Summer. Cleveland-born rapper My_Kayla uses her lyrical abilities to tell a story about two unsuspecting strangers that engage in a secret romance. Her J.Cole-esq flow accompanied by Dre Walton's soulful melodies pair perfectly on this instant summertime classic.

                                  “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.”

                                      “Jeida Woods drops a smooth emotional account of a relationship in peril. Both the single and the video tell a story that you can truly feel.

                                      ’Selfless’ is a track that will speak to anyone that has ever felt their heart coming part little by little.”
