Project is solid. The good is this dudes content, the variety of beats and his rapping ability. The bad all comes down to the smallest things, hooks could use a bit more work and polish, the mix battling his bass heavy tone, and some of the songs just outstaying the welcome without any bits of flair to really get your 3 to 4 minutes worth. Dropping a project is hard, and honestly nitpicking it apart after all is recorded is even harder. Pacing is solid for the most part splitting up the more smooth emotion tracks with the more upbeat almost new age type tracks for sure its just there were so many small things that you can hear first listen it makes it hard to run all of this back. There is allot to run back tho for sure, and that doesnt mean its bad, project is solid, and honestly a few tweaks here and there couldve have brought it that much higher up on the rating scale. Not bad tho, check this one out on Bandcamp and hopefully on all streaming soon. In rotation.
Project: 6.8/10 || Art: 8/10 – John D.
