The Wavy Kid - Get Away [Review]

November 05, 2019 by Travis Erwin in Music, Rap, Autotune

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

“Riding a crest of smooth confidence, The Wavy Kid drops ‘Get Away’ which feels cool and comforting.

This track isn’t exactly breaking new ground, but it covers all the basis for an upbeat and entertaining listen. ”

    Macharo - D D M [EP Review]

    November 01, 2019 by Kreadiv Kesh in Album, Hip-Hop, Rap

    Rating: 3.5 out of 5

    “We started off with a mini intro audio movie, which led us to the praises of ‘Amen’. Through the changes of dark and light ‘Vitiligo’; Macharo’ s project ‘DDM’ delivers a different sound with guest features from Stophe Malone and Young Homage ON ‘Usian Bolt’. For most who need no explanation for ‘Hoodie Season’ when you live a ‘Life Like’ this with money over everything except your kids. When the kids go play it leaves time to ‘Celebrate’ success and no more struggles.”

          “This tracks lands right on the feels for anyone with a Momma ... which means it should speak to every last person.

          Delivering truth, while putting humanity into the senseless, the vocal flow is pure and real. The backing, sang by Yalee’s own mother, is emotional and heartrending.”

              “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.”

                  “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.”

                          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.”

                                “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. ”

                                  “Unfolding like stream of consciousness poetry, the flow still brings a musical quality. The overall vibe is very mellow, while still being engaging and emotional.”

                                    “The beat hits hard here and so does the message in Nic D’s latest offering. The chorus delivers bite and the verses ooze with emotional pain and turmoil. A track with feeling and grit.”

                                      “Riding a dark and heavy vibe, this tracks reflects on life by asking ... What do you see when you look in the mirror? The flow is solid, and the beat spot on, in this single that leaves you feeling like maybe you have more control in things than you realize.”

                                        “A steady, authentic flow dropped over a catchy beat and melody gives ‘Left or Right’ a realness that shines through in ever word.

                                        Solid writing and vocals that feel genuine carry the day on this track.”
