This is one of the best Rap pieces I have heard here Nepaul...I really liked the melodies and the synths, sweeps and transitions used. The vocals are smooth and production is A1.

Hey Man..I first heard this on the Mega compilation promo..I really dig your delivery and style..great seamless vocal pitching and very good articulation...there's no disputing,you project your attitude way into the credibility stakes..a lot of rappers are flat and just go through their rhymes talking tough and think that's all it takes to impact on people...this is no where more evident than when you get guys like me who's first stop isn't urban music..actually stopping and digging tracks on a lot of levels...so you must be doing something right!..cheers planet

nepaul replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I put a lot of energy into the delivery so it's nice to know it shows through in the track. What's even better is that people like you who don't normally like rap/hip hop enjoy it as well. Thanks for the thoughtful review planet. Here's to the MMM album!

Good attitude regarding the music business - the track reminds me of Eminem.

nepaul replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Well if there's anything I've learned from Em, it's to sock it to the critics...and in this case to my so called peers. Thanks dog.

Once again my friend, this s**t is sick, great work for real, mad props Nepaul for laying it down properly ... it f-ing slams in my girls car ... I've seriously listened to this 50 times or more already. Dude, I got plans for future collabs - those will be just as ill. I can almost guarantee it. Mixtape ?

wow.....I'm very impressed on this one nepaul. The beat is DOPE...mad props to JDOT. and the same line coney is saying..."i'll punch you in the tummy." haha that one made me smile. the lyrics are made crazy though. We have to do another collab.
nepaul
nepaul replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks Prize. JDOT and I had been working on this track for some time, so I'm stoked it delivered like we hoped it would. It's a more serious track but you know I'm good for a funny line or two. That's just how I get down. haha. Glad you dig. It means a lot coming from top talent on the Loop like you and Coney. Thanks for the fav bro too, and yes I agree on the future collab my man. We'll make it happen.

nepaul
nepaul replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
I agree, with this being my best track. JDOT delivered this nasty beat to me so I had to give it my all to match the intensity. I think I achieved that. Up the vox hu? Cool, thanks for the feedback and the fav.

Atmospheric liquid drum & bass meets deep house and UK garage, blending rolling breakbeats, deep sub-bass, chopped ethereal female vocals and nostalgic late-night ambience.

Description : I wanted to create something dark and romantic with an RnB and retro wave touch. This song has a retro futurism feel to it. I was inspired by The Weeknd when I was writing this song, especially his first mixtape, House Of Balloons, hence the deep roamntic analogies in the songwriting. I have sung this song myself and produced it too. No AI used here. This is an old song.
