Wilsun x Bobby Raps - Mirror [Review]

October 02, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious, Autotune

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Riding a dark and heavy vibe, this tracks reflects on life by asking ... What do you see when you look in the mirror? The flow is solid, and the beat spot on, in this single that leaves you feeling like maybe you have more control in things than you realize.”

    Cab Ellis - Suburbia [Review]

    October 01, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Indie Rock, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Fun! Truthful! Genre bending!

    Cab Ellis delivers a track that is all of the above and then some. A high-energy single about escaping ‘Suburbia’ to chase your dreams.”

        Kai Roberts - Weekend (feat. Dhruva Krishna & Jason Rafalak) [Review]

        September 27, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Conscious

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “We all spend a lot of time waiting for the ‘Weekend’ to arrive, but if we aren’t careful our life slips by while we are waiting for what’s next, rather than living for the day. This track brings a steady flow and a calm delivery that we can all relate to while stopping to think about the day to day routine.”

                              “This track is meant to make you uncomfortable, because sometimes, that is the only way to shake up the neurons and make you think. The lyrics and video imagery do exactly that, but when you declare something meaningful, in a passionate way it rarely makes others comfortable and through that discomfort new ideas and thoughts are born.

                              That said, this track delivers emotions, entertainment and a punch to the gut that leaves you engrossed. ”

                                  ShadowHood - Conquest [Review]

                                  “Telling a story without words is no easy task ,and yet, ShadowHood has accomplished exactly that with this piece.

                                  The clarinet drives the narrative, but the downplayed beat is sneaky in the way it lurks behind the scenes pushing and prodding until it needs to burst forth. ”

                                    “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.”
