Description : WARNING THIS IS NOT A FINALIZED TRACK BY ANY MEANS!
That being said, constructive criticism still appericiated, just know that the obvious stuff is probably already being dealt with.
Ok, so I basically sat down in front of my mic and was recording this just to hear what I sounded like... and managed to get through the whole thing with only a few small hiccups here or there. This is a live recording, so I can't really EQ the guitar and my vocals separately.
I also realize I'm not winning awards for my singing, but maybe when I rerecord it I'll be able to do a little better.
I mostly am posting this version because someone mentioned Country/hip hop and this is my take on it. Final version will have a harmonica solo, a cleaner recording, and hopefully I'll be singing a little more on key. However if any of y'all wanna help by singing the chorus that would make a huge difference. I can sing a lot better when I have someone else backin me up!

i can hear overdriven guitars and pumping bass here. loved the short transition in the middle - that makes the whole song different. and i like the words flowing - that's blues, bro!

Yeah Im feeling this kick back country/ midwest feel. Its like Aesop Rock mixed with a Blues singer. Cant wait for the finish bro, this will end up being a fav for sure. You know a small touch Id dig is maybe a rhythm track running underneat and kicking in about mid song. Thatd liven it up a bit.
Then again, maybe I dnt want to hear that lol...might ruin the laid back feel.
Meh who knows, 2 versions? Lol
Let me know when you update it.

Alright... I was considering MAYBE adding a touch of rhythm to the final version, but I'm still on the fence about it, I'll give it a shot and see how it sounds. I like the idea of it not coming in until after a verse or two though... Worse case scenario I'll post the two versions like you said. Thanks for the review, I'll hit you up when it's done.

Sounds like Kid Rock a bit!! Doesn't sound that bad for a live recording. A little more production is needed but the idea is there. You just need to project your voice a bit, gain a little confidence, your voice isn't too bad. Look forward to hearing it done!

Thanks! Ill work on "projecting my voice" more. I can do it fine when I'm rapping, and honestly I think I even sing more on key then too... which makes me think you're dead on about the confidence thing. I'll be sure to let you know when it's done! Thanks for the review!

glad you like it! I posted it after your request for country hip hop... I hope to really tighten this one up some day turn, maybe even teach myself to sing it a little better... We'll see though, the singing part might just be how I sing.

Description : This one is special. The Monzder Squadd is tired of seeing and hearing about all the awful things going on around the world, and in our own country. Our friend and fellow Splatterhouse ENT member Flat2Forge told us about some of the news from his side of the world, so we dedicate this one to him, and to Ukraine, and everywhere in the world where people are suffering. Hope you like it!

Not my lyrics.
The experiment began with asking GPT to write lyrics for a 3-minute house track; I ended up with way too much text, and I don't sing that fast. Next, I started coming up with melodies for the vocals, recorded the vocal parts, added instruments, and reworked the melodies, drum, and bass lines over and over again in an attempt to create a cohesive whole.
I made extensive use of JS: Vocoder (by Geraint Luff).

I hope you enjoy

Description : Ah this track. There's a little something for everyone in this, including some EDM inspired stuff. The Sewer Maawb's vibe is meant to invoke the hip hop and trap sound from 99-2012, and there are many influences in that timespan, one of those is Timbaland. Hope you enjoy it! Additional vocals by Rob Fame of The Monzder Squadd.

Description : This is cyberflares track nightdrive. He was kind enough to let me jam out with it. Which is what I've been doing the last two nights. So huge thanks to him for letting me. All I did was add some guitar that hopefully sounds like guitar but also doesn't... ;) I've been experimenting with pushing the sounds I can get from guitar to blend with electronic music.
