mikwerdna - Mostly Clear, Partly Cloudy [Review]

October 07, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Hip-Hop, Instrumentals

Rating: 4 out of 5

“Listening I thought ... man, this hip=hip instrumental track is making me sleepy.

And given the track is part of an upcoming lullaby album ... I’d say it does it’s job perfectly. ”

    Nic D - Through Your Teeth [Review]

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

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “The beat hits hard here and so does the message in Nic D’s latest offering. The chorus delivers bite and the verses ooze with emotional pain and turmoil. A track with feeling and grit.”

      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.”

        “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.”

            “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 is a very important song for me. I used the sample 9th wonder did to recreate the beat of, "Rain" by Mac Miller. The homie Riggz and I put a lot of emotion into creating a song that reminisces about the concept of death. Rest in peace to all that we have lost.

                                “A nice easy reggae melody backs this humorous, yet meaningful look at common relationship woes.

                                The smooth groove makes this an easy single to sing along with and enjoy.”

                                  “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. ”

                                    “From the first beat, you know this track is bringing something special to the table. Two separate flows, each speaking their own truth in no nonsense way, deliver what feels like a Hip-Hop sermon.”

                                      “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.”
