Beanz - Pavement [Review]

August 30, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

Rating: 4 out of 5

“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.”

        Rating: 4 out of 5

        “An alluring friendly voice is the key to this vocal performance, which feels honest and intimately familiar.

        This one feels like a conversation with a friend and it held me close to the emotion right from the start.”

          Rating: 4 out of 5

          “Riding a banging beat , ‘Flxn’ takes sharp, clever lyrics and blends them with a rock solid flow to bang out a single that is indeed flexing plenty of muscle. At under two minutes, my only wanton wish is for a few more verses.”

            Flamenco Sketch - Flower [Review]

            Rating: 4 out of 5

            “Nice and easy, this is a flow that you fall into with no effort. Like a conversation with a friend. Which is contrast to the lyrical content which focus on being misunderstood. This contrast is a great metaphor for how we often feel alone even when surrounded by others, because it is rare for people to understand how you are truly feeling on the inside.”

              “I was pulled in by the straight forward, honest feel to these lyrics. I also appreciated the rawness of single and the fact the production did not opt for autotune embellishments and other tricks, but got out of the way and let the emotions shine through.”

                “Sometimes you just gotta say it straight and direct. Poloneius Pluck is the ‘Bossman’ here as he deliver his truth, his confidence, and his mantra for the world. The reggae vibe gives a good contrast and takes this one to another level.”

                          “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. ”

                                  “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. ”

                                    “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.”

                                      “Love is an addiction unlike any other, and ‘My Lady’ drops an emotional flow that both honors and explains that connection.

                                      Smooth and easy like time spent with the one that holds your heart, this single comes is a modern love song that feels like real life. ”

                                        “Bold and defiant ‘No Limit’ deploys a fast flow and a direct set of lyrics that challenge and enlighten. The accent adds to the attitude of the single and the chorus is sung with emotion and intrigue. ”
