ED.1T - Lies (feat. Mia Mormino & YSD) [Review]

September 13, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Electro Pop

Rating: 4 out of 5

“The hurt and anger comes through in the early vocal performance and the production brings a beat that serves well in adding to those emotions. The Rap flow forms an interesting bridge, but it is the chorus that will stick with you. ”

      løenwulf - When We Fight [Review]

      September 09, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Autotune

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “Clean breaks are tough with affairs of the heart ,and ‘When We Fight’ captures the despair, desperation, and guarded hope of those emotions with a pair of vocals.

      The first is sang with a beautiful vulnerability and the second is a flow delivered with more of a stoic indifference. This contrast is part of what captures the emotions of this situation so well.”

        DAX - KILLSHOT 2 [Music Video Review]

        September 08, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

        Rating: 5 out of 5

        “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. ”

                      “Tossing out a chill, relaxed flow, JO24 drops these lyrics today that are words of importance. If you don’t take the time to ‘Learn Today,’ the lessons will come at your hard and fast somewhere down the road.

                      The video starts a bit slow, but overall the visuals and vibe of the imagery is a good fit for the track.”

                                “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.”

                                  “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.”

                                        “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. ”
