Something is fucked up at the beginning of the Supreme track, I'll have to fix it sometime soon.

first one I've given you feed on already

Leave while I can - I love the beat here but you're spitting in all the wrong places, there's no structure to the track at all. You need to learn to figure out where the hooks and verses are and how to identify the audio cues. Lyrically this was nice and I love the flow, but the delivery lacks emotion/depth and we both know you have alot more of that now. I'm guessing by the way you sound that this is like the first track and you've been sitting on it a while.  I'm in 2 minds, I lvoe the beat and lyrics but you're spitting in the wrong places and the hooks are terrible. Hmmm, i'll talk to you on skype about this one later if we're both online.

Masterpiece - Yeah this works, send me the filers you have and I'll make them sound pro.

Supreme - something's clipping on this track. I don't know whether that's your production or the beat but it's fucked up for real.  I like the lyrics, the delivery again needs a little work before it's nailed I think REHEARSE BRO. I'm asuming the gap is where titu will spit? ALso the hook needs work, it's not being delivered well at all, and not sure it's actually working with the rest of the track, i think your verses are tight as hell though, with the right delivery they'll be ill.  I thikn with a better hook and assuming titu brings his A game this could be a fire track. Props

Mr Amazing - hmmmm, I'm not a huge an of the beat but it's aite.  Again you're spitting in the wrong parts of the beat I think. You're not following the underlying structure of the song at all or at least it sounds that way. You need ot stop over-repeating hooks in the wrong places I think. Tbh this is beneath your skill level by some way, you're doing way better work than this now. I think this is a bit of a throwaway track tbh. I think it needs a total rework because it makes you sound pretty wack, and I consider you a dope little emcee. This is not your best by a long shot.

Holla at me on skype, there's a lot of potential here, some things need a lot of work, some not much at all. I like the overall theme of the album sound-wise so far, i's just about gettin them tracks to be on point and not sloppy. Props.

First track... beat is cool... drums are too busy for my taste but it isn't bad... the flow is cool but delivery is terrible if I'm honest... it's lacking in emotion, sound like your reading... Outside of that, this has the foundation to be a good track

Second track... I've fed this already?

Third track... beat is illy... but I'm bias as I love sampling... flow feel like it's too slow... and stretched... again with the emotionless delivery... structure is terrible too... and this is way short... no structure actually...

Fourth track... those drums were out of sync at the begining... best is simple as hell... not sure how I feel about it... it's lofi as hell either way... hook is lame... as fuck... be more creative with it...

Fifth track... the sync is off at the beginning of this one too... beat is also lofi... flow is cool on this one but the the delivery doesn't feel genuine... hook is corny again... and it's too long... beat switch is cool... sync is still off... too long of a break... you've lost my interest

Overall, you need to fix the structure in most of these track... I can tell most of these are old because in comparison to what you've been dropping lately, these don't compare... glad you joined so we can help u make all this dope

working on this beat, feel like im close to a final copy but I need y'alls opinion on it. thanks
 
ps - after listening to the beat a few times im not a big fan of the intro with all the kicks, so I took it out of the final cut, but I still want to hear what yall think of it, just found the intro kind of irritating...

The sounds themselves are pretty cool, the composition however is really lacking. To be honest it's just too random musically, it sounds directionless. It shows a lot of promise but it's really very very basic and the music is rudimentary at best. Not bad though man, I love that deep pulse sound if nothing else haha sounds like something to rave to.

Just finished this beat, worked on it for about 5+ hours, still needs some polishing I believe but I wanna know your guys' opinion.
 
 
This beat I like more, it's a heavily sampled beat and I think it's dope. Just needs a bass to it

feeding as I listen. firstly, I can't really hear you at all. Sound like you've tried to use some mastering tricks without knowing how to mix your vocals. SO you've made the music massively present and your voice is entirely clouded by the rest of the music. I honestly wish I could feed your spitting but I can't hear it at all over all the over-processing you've done. Mastering is an art tbh, not something you'll do well dabbling in the dark.
