Description : Note: I redid the vox with the new mic. They sound much, much better now. Give it a listen. /Note Just telling a story how it is, and further exploring myself in the area of hip hop. This is my second serious attempt at a rap. I know the vox will come off as harsh, as I'm only using a standard PC mic to do this with. I'm not bankin' enough to have serious equipment, but I make do with what I got. I at least hope you guys can understand the lyrics and get the meaning. Many special thanks to PianoSounds for his awesome samples that really make this song. Peace.

Sick song, nice beat, great piano role, everything. Only thing I would do is maybe add an effect to the vocals. Great lyrics

I'm still learning as I go along. I didn't have reverb, a compressor, eq or anything going on in that recording. I'm doing that a little more with what I'm doing now. It still won't sound studio quality though, because I'm only using a $30 Rock Band PS3 mic. But hey, that's all I've got. But I'll use it to the max, ya feel me? Say what you can with what you got, do what you gotta do with what you gotta do it with. D.I.Y. to the extreme. Thanks for the review Cufool, I preciate it.

Thanks for getting at me with your review. I've got a ways to go as a performer in terms of rapping. I'm taking the advice of another reviewer and trying to find my voice and natural flow. In this case you're right, it was just written out and not really a flow at all. I'll get better with time, but it'll take me a while to get there. Glad that you liked the rest of it though. Give me time and check my future tracks, you'll see a difference. Or even check out other attempts of mine, say like Reflections. With that, peace be with you Isrealah!

From a rapper stand point. I'd practice freestyling. Freestyling is where you'll find your flow and persona. Meaning don't write it, just hit record and see what you say. Then repeat.
Even if you repeat words, just keep goin. Do a few cuts each to 5 very diffrent beats.
Easiest way to learn to freestyle is settle on a fill in word. like "m***** f*****r" or "im back" or whatever you wanna use to fill in with. Its not a word you ryhme with, but used to help allievate your brain. So you can continue without stoping. Merely fills in the sentence of a bar. After enough time, you wont need a fill in word.
Writting wont really develop your voice/persona/flow. But it will help with lyricism.
Keep it movin.

Wanted to get at you and say thanks for the constructive criticism. I'd been telling my girlfriend I need to learn to freestyle and work on my flow. I'll listen to rappers I enjoy and they can spit for 16 bars are so and flow nicely or even change the flow of the delivery and sound so smooth. Then again, they may use punch ins when recording, I dunno. But either way, I agree it's a skill I need to pick up on.

As Ghost AKA, the name I'm circulation, I'm aware of some things I'd like to talk about. They range from racial integration of the hip hop scene and many of us suffering the same social and financial barriers, to my take on the military having gotten to experience it briefly before being discharged, to even politics and world issues of the day. Of course I want a fun, off the wall song here and there like even Tech N9ne is likely to do that may be about the supernatural or religion, or anything like that.

So I'll try what you're saying bro. If you've got any more tips message me sometime. I appreciate you taking the time to listen as well as try and help a fellow rapper in training so to speak. I preciate it. Peace be with you bro.

Thanks bro, I preciate it. Yeah, I've only been rapping maybe two solid months, so I've got a lot to learn about breath control, flow and all the other aspects. Even mixing and music production. I'm doing this on my own, so I've got a ways to go. Thanks for the early support and constructive criticism though, it means a lot seeing as you took the time to hear me and help me out. Be safe bro.

I really wanted to say I appreciate your reviewing of my track and letting me know what you think. It shows I'm reaching out to people with something and they're actually listening to what I'm saying as well as understanding. It's even better that I impressed you. When I first read the review I wanted to reply but I couldn't as I read it on my phone. It made me excited to see another review though. So I am really grateful for it. Peace to you bro.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen and give me a review. It makes my day knowing that I have someone that enjoyed my lyrics. Knowing that I know I'm doing good things and going in a right direction. It's also great seeing that you found good listening in the choir. It was a simple piece I put over PianoSounds loop, but I thoroughly enjoyed putting it there. PianoSounds really gets the credit though, because it was thanks to his loops I was even able to bring this track to fruition. Thanks again for replying, I really do appreciate it. Peace!

Thanks. Yeah, I don't have a lot of stuff to work with. Mostly just whatever VST's that Mixcraft comes with, and any I can pick up here and there. I really enjoyed adding the choir to Martin aka PianoSounds' loop there. I'm glad you agree on the mood setting. Thanks a lot for the compliment on the lyrics too. My girlfriend and an old friend that I may be doing a colab with soon would have to agree. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my track.
