Nice chords/melo on guitar, nice drums with nice bass couple ! Nice effect on the background.
All these combined is perfect !
Mixing ; you can lower the snair a bit, and push a bit the voice, we lose lyrics sometimes with high pitch background sound pads/effects. The kick-bass mixing is perfect !
Rap : I think you can find or make rap more "punchy", to move your head more on the beat.
I listen with my audio-technica headset and small JBL bluetooth, same advice.
cheers !

Precioso tema amigo mío, me encanta cómo encaja tu voz, con la claridad y la elegancia suficiente para darle vida a esta pista de éxito. Voz privilegiada. Que tengas un buen día compañero. Paz y salud.

Gracias por el amor. Creo que también puede ser un éxito. Voy a trabajar para que me distraigan con las plataformas de transmisión.

(Again) Love that slacker indie vocal style and the rnb/ Motown influence in the overall sound - this is warm, melodic, beautifully produced and has a really gorgeous grove - excellent.

Thank you for the love. The instrumental is very nice. I consider myself lucky to have had the oppurtunity to lay down some vox. I think I did a good job writing the verses too.

This is pro quality stuff my friend. I can`t honestly claim to be a big hip hop fan but if there were more like this I could easily change my mind. Has a cool R&B vibe. Vocal and diction are really good and the accompaniment is totally on the money...and kudos on the production..guess that makes the whole thing just a great track John...big well done to you...Ed

I was the same way in my opinion of rap and hip hop for a while. I think my vocal style is more inspired by rock.

But I go where the money is and I believe will be. I try to keep it unique because I do not love the trap music either.

Thank you for the love! Your tracks always punch the ticket.

Beautiful intro into a fly vibe and pace with a top notch vocal flow crystal clear. Top marks on sound production Smokey, like the quiet drop on the drum and back up old skool hip-hop feel

Glad I could be here to bring the production. My producer does a great job, sometimes I have to sift through trap beats. I just do the lyrics and the vocals. Doing the whole trac would be too much with school. One day.
