Xander P - Friend Zone? [Review]

December 15, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“A fun song that spins around the entire friend zone concept around. The tracks has a talented vocal flow, with some subtle but nice variation, over a steady beat that blends nicely.”

    KOCH x Jet Lee Houdini - Prayers [Review]

    December 14, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “The verses spoke to me here more than the chorus, but overall this is a solid track that brings some emotion and a nice tone to the flows.

    Lyrically the track has something meaningful to say and the message stuck to me through several listens. ”

              “The chill easy vibe to the beat and melody contrasts nicely with the vocal flows, which have a decided West Coast feel.

              I recommend you fire one up, and settle in on these lyrics.”

                        “I’m left with a dilemma on this track. I like the music. The writing is solid and the flow has pop enough to hold my focus all the way through.

                        That said, the video did not speak to me at all, especially the intro which hit me as a mediocre college assignment filmed by a group of buddies with no acting experience, after hitting happy hour at the local Holiday Inn.

                        But hey, we are a music blog and the music did its job. ”

                          “This track hits different.

                          So much so it isn’t easy to follow, but then again, grief is a twisted dark path that offers no real road map. So while many will dismiss the structure here, (based on the norms of music) this track is an exploration of human emotion, and I can’t think of a better artful expression for the way grief throbs and thumps and takes us to random places as we deal and cope with the pain.

                          I really only wish it went farther, and offered more, because the track is fairly short overall. ”

                                “A hard beat backs most of the flow, and the production shines like a ‘Kings’ crown on this this track, but for me it is the realism of the artist that makes this single rule.

                                WALDO pays homage to who he is, and where he came from, while bring a cocky humbleness to his lyrics.”

                                  “A Jazz infused Lo-fi Hip-Hop track that utilizes strong writing to make its point. all in under two minutes.

                                  Short, yet effective prose makes this a quick listen well worth your time.”

                                    “A steady Hip-Hop beat is the one constant in this track, which pulls in threads of Jazz to back the serious straightforward commentary of the vocal flow. ”

                                      “An Instrumental with nice layers, each adding to the depth and emotional engagement. A hard beat backs it all, and the piano and orchestra sound deliver both a jazz smoothness, and a little funk to the mix.”

                                        “Letting go is tough to do, and many of us have attached our emotions to an inanimate object.

                                        ’Hoodie’ delivers these feelings in a nice steady flow that is as comfortable to wrap around you as your favorite, time-worn garment. ”
