Dont Go Dont You Know - CalifKen

16th Oct 2009 06:35 - 16 years ago
Description : I "inventoried" Britney Spear's Baby One More Time because a friend of mine wanted "music like that". So I had all the instruments in place, and started doing my own thing with it, and then for some reason, took it in the direction of it actually becoming this other song I have Don't You Know, the chord progression and such.

// KILLED KILLED KILLED the rappings DEAD!

What I can say is that is your voice doesn't follow exactly the notes, it gives a real sympathitic effect and globaly, the melody is very good to listen.
I like much this kind of spleen in you building.
That a good song of a poesy.

This is the only song I ever cried my frackn soul out while making it, but that was cuz of the story that I envisioned originally going with it. I started working on an animation about loss of life and that final moment slowing down so that the last second with eyes locked takes the duration of the entire chorus, in slow mo. That might be a bit irresponsible, to spread such a sad moment though. So I'm not sure if I will continue with it.

Thanks for the review Estefano. It really hit me well. -Ken

WOWWW!..your words made me shake,this part "i stood by my family and cried with my friends :: until now :: i couldn't see how everything is coming back around :: how every part of me had to die as well :: my joy and my heart grew too cold to tell " made me remember something I kept inside, your words are pretty perfect to be honest, simba,lol..classic, and you get my love as well,I love a lot of you guys, especially the one's who stuck by me after accusations that proved to be false(still didn't get my apology from them you know,they know who they are,no names,lol) I'm over it,in our line of work when you get too loved even good people turn to the dark side. But your one of the good one's and those who let it play out and not look like fools,oh and I got a song for them,that's my retaliation. ;) but this song and beat it's weird how it makes me feel, so please keep doing your thing,I can make words but what better one's then the one's from your heart? "I begged her not to leave me",my acapella is similar in feel,it's real and from the heart and even that gets hated on, so yes don't get discouraged and keep doing your thing,I am always up for writing for any genre and any one as passionate and talented as yourself, so you on my friends list, hitme up for anything,advice,(given or taken)collabs, help, we will work on your vocals for sure. Ima make my comeback soon, just need to handle a lot of private things so I stopped music for a while,but my brain is always in motion,so you need ideas just let me know, I want to give my full support and more if possible,it's about you now,so keep on keeping on LM brother! peace

DUDE thank you so much for the review - and I gotta say I've checked you out a bit, and you've definitely got that "something". And that's just your singing!! Really enjoyed it, keep it up. I did actually put together lyrics for this, and am kinda temp singing on it. Check em out let me know what yøu think if you feel it or if I'm just kinda feelin myself here!! Would really appreciate the objective review #2.

Hey so the lyrics I did put together were kinda over the head and not effective in their tranlsation of the emotion to the listener, so I am open for a new take on vocals for this - let me know if you are still interested.

Description : So, I stumbled across this dope beat by one of our own, Mytch, and literally begged him to let me jump on it. Thankfully, he was cool with it, so here it is. I hope he likes what I came up with, and I hope you like it too.

It's pretty similar to how I used to rap back in my early days, but of course, these days I don't use profanity haha.

Description : This is hardcore hip hop. Very Dr DRE, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj style with a euro dance vibe /feel and with a hip hop beat. Lot's of bass in the track too. Hope you enjoy my new rap track. I have edited the previous track since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here. This is the final mastered version. The previous version had mastering problems which I have adjusted here.

Description : This started with Mindway's song 'Hammer Fall' - he is a frequent collaborator with us, both our beats as well as his. This time we did both - Pnnywze Made some drops and blended those into the existing track, and its a must hear man. Hope you like it!

Vocals: Vizzio, Professor Hexx, Mindway, and Rob Fame
