Blu Spirit - Look at Me Now [Review]

August 21, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Conscious, Rap, Hip-Hop

Rating: 5 out of 5

“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.”

        “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.”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “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. ”

              Lyrically, ‘All My Life’ is straightforward and direct and full of a motivational hype, which can be a tough sell if the performer is not fully invested in what he’s saying. Here, I believed every word. ”

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.

                                  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.”

                                    “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.”
