I'll be completely transparent, as an artist I am not particularly proud of the lyrical content of this specific song since the lyrics are kind of nasty, but I can assure you that it wasn't something I planned out in a '' oh yes, this will definitely sell '' manner.

It just came out that way naturally and I fully embraced that feeling until the very end of the project.

I guess we as artists should start embracing the fact that we aren't just 1 person with 1 personality, but a whole lot of different personalities/individuals packed into 1 vehicle/body.



Anyways, enough talking, hope y'all enjoy!

 

Overall it sounds pretty damn good.
Nits: the snare is a little loud/harsh. I played it loud, but eventually turned it down because that snare hit got a little grating after a while.
And even though the vocals are at a nice volume, I really couldn't make out most of the lyrics except in spots.

 

Appreciate it homie! That snare gotta pierce your heart ahahah!

 

REALLY NICE man.
First of all the song is there, I really like it.
Loved the stereo play between those hihats. When I listen to this style of music (wich is not very often) sometimes I get surprised by the volume and kind of piercing sound they choose for the hats. Yours are kind of "midfield", just right to my ears.
I would love just a little more fat on the snare but I don't know if you can get away with that without fucking up the vocals or something like that.

 

I like it, it definitely has a pleasant sound to it. I would agree about the vocals, found it hard to understand most of it, but I liked its sound despite that. Is this really your first single? It sounds a lot more advanced than a first track IMO.

 

First of all, thank you for taking the moment to check out my song, it really means a whole lot.
Yes, I tend to avoid those harsh hi hats because my ears don't handle them pretty well.
Again, thanks for the feedback!

Thank you!
Yes, my debut single, I was kind of hesitant to upload it due to the beat itself, it sounded kinda bad to me at first, but the song idea kept playing in my head non-stop so I went ahead and laid the core idea down ( mumbling ), well, the rest is history.

 

It sounds good. If you do go over it again you might want to tighten the how end and reduce it a bit, the snare is fine but it could provably use more bandwidth as it is a pink noise snare but it cuts off rather early. You have some frequency build up around 5K, 7K, and 11K maybe boosts in the vocal in that region cause a push in HH volume. The HH are a bit sibilant, but I am not sure if that the lossy behavior of the youtube codec or if it is baked in.

Overall you've done a great job, especially in leaving some dynamics in for your song to breathe.

It is very well done.

 

I love it!

 

@HIPHOPEFUL your first track is dope! Excellent job and more impressive for a first track. Are you sure you did not mean to say the last track before 2020? Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

 

The sort of thing they play all the time in my local supermarket, so should be successful although frankly for me this is not music; but I am just an old duffer.

 

I like me some hiphop done right. Nice mix and balance, especially for a first one. Got me groovin on my seat after a while.
Keep it up, best of luck with your music.

 

It's Pop. Are you a Justine Timberlake fan by any chance? It sounds like the kind of safe rappy sort of Pop they would make for a celeb whose numbers are taking a dive. Go for it, but the market for this song is definitley not Hip-Hop, it's POP.

 

It sounds great to me so well done!
"Hiphop" will always mean Cypress Hill/ The Beasties etc to me so I guess things have moved on a bit for us old timers!

 

This is really good! Production is in point, and the song composition hits in all the right places.

Mixwise I liked it on my earbuds but as mentioned the vocals could be turned up a bit more.

This has hit potential imo. I'd put a few more together and start pitching to labels or going indie ventures for sure!

 

Again, thank you so much for taking the time to sit down and drop me some feedback, I can't stress how important that is to us artists ( especially the super constructive criticism you just dropped on my ass )! I will note everything you said down and as I am getting more and more familiar with the more technical aspects of mixing i'll be hopefully understanding all these issues you just stated so I can finally overcome them!
I am super glad you enjoyed my song, bless you!

 

Thank you sir! It really means a lot! After all, what is music if we don't have each other to share it with?

 

Hello friend! Haha, I hope this was just '' the last track of 2020 '' but I have been too big of a pussy in the past to truly commit myself to song writing so I just stuck to beat-making/producing for other people. I've decided to change that though so yeah, this is indeed my very first track and it flatters me deeply that people find it hard to believe. Thank you again!

 

I totally respect your opinion buddy. Everyone has a distinct taste, I guess this just isn't your cup of tea, but I really appreciate your honesty and time! Hope you're having a great day!

 

Thank you so much friend! Your words of encouragement are truly resonating with me, as I consider myself a little kid deep down, I always get excited when other folks hype me up, I got to admit it!
