Nakfa - Sera [Review]

October 28, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Neo-Soul, Contemporary R&B

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Dropping a smooth and classic sound, Nakfa bends genres with this Hip-Hop old school 90s R&B vibe.

’Sera’ is a track that took me a bit to connect to lyrically, but from the start I felt the groove behind this single.”

    Rudeboy Tha Shottah - Can I Breath [Music Video Review]

    October 28, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music Videos, Rap, Hip-Hop, Conscious

    Rating: 4 out of 5

    “Lyrical truth is a powerful thing and this track rings true not only in content, but also in the delivery.

    Rudeboy Tha Shottah makes me feel his emotions with an honest straightforward delivery that is the musical equivalent of unflinchingly staring someone in the eye while they speak from the heart. ”

      Mike Xavier - Look At You Now [Review]

      October 25, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap

      Rating: 4 out of 5

      “That thin line between love and hate is often big and bold after a breakup. This flow takes gloating to a new level post breakup. An anthem for those flourishing when their exes flounder. The horns in the melody add to the flavor of winning and the vocals capture the emotion of prideful disdain.”

        “Spot on writing delivered with a direct and honest flow.

              Rating: 4 out of 5

              “A clever metaphor that works great with this delivery — which is almost irreverent and taunting.

              Chocolate and Lemonade are fine individually, but nasty when mixed together and the same can be said about the relationship in question in this track. A fun song that still brings some universal truths.”

                “EMS brings some international flavor with this video and hard-hitting set of lyrics.

                ’Rapscallions’ takes that Beastie vibe, and builds a thumping sound full of nods to the past, without sounding like a copy of anything.

                Fresh and real and solidly worth your time! ”

                    “Truth. Passion. Confidence.

                    These qualities define both people and music and when you possess all three, you are bound to agitate those who either fear or envy you. This track by J4 Da Dawg is such a song. There will be haters, because there always are, but anyone that says J4 ain’t bringing it today with, ‘Until Tomorrow’ is flat-out fooling themselves. ”

                                  “ In a world full of autotune it’s good to hear a good flow and lyrics. Dope song. Dope vibe.”

                                      “Loyalty is a tough thing to find in this world. This single honors loyalty, by dropping a steady beat and sing-song flow that serves as an anthem of trust and confidence. Both hard-earned by surviving tough times with, and because, of those you proudly stand alongside.”
