Matey very good piece, loving your vocals dude, ya need to sing more, brilliant sounding voice, something special about it,great beat, bassline nice, like the strings, great choice of synths here, one of the better hip hop piece's I have heard here on the loop, well anywere for sure, total pleasure to be able to hear this one, instant fav by a long way...Peace and TY...Estefano...
Well I had to come over and sample your wares,unlike most of the reviews you've received I'll endeavour to articulate what I hear ...Being an Anglophile I love the English accent and I must say it works for me better than it's American equivalent within the cadence of Hip Hop..the throw to the sung phrase "being public enemy number one" makes this track,it shakes off any monotony that can insinuate into spoken word pieces....I do like the sonic quality of this piece also,the acoustic guitar is "All along the Watchtower"..but hey that's one of the coolest tracks ever written..so no problems there(lol)..the intrinsic dynamics are the most important thing a track can have and you've got that in spades here..there's a frequency trade off between the vocals,bassline and rhythm elements that meets directly in the middle of the mix giving the whole track a pulsing amorphous feel....possibly this is why I'm led to the conclusion that this track has some commercial potential...after this gets into a real studio for the final polish I wouldn't be surprised if seeing it commercially that I bought a copy!.....very good work, and at the very least this should influence quite a few people that listen to it.....planet
Well, thanks for taking the time to give me an honest review. It's much appreciated. The guitar is the only part I didn't write, I cut/arranged/effected/mixed it from 5 minutes of my friend Elliot doing a jam session for me.
I didn't make the link to All Along myself, and that's one of my fav tracks of all time. Don't think it's exactly the same, but I see where you're coming from now you've said that. I think it's much more important WHAT you do with chord structures, as you know there are hundreds of tracks that share the same 4 chord turnarounds.
Commercial is what I'm going for now, having spent 6 years doing underground tracks for no money. Hopefully will see a bit of cash in 6 months time once I have a CD finished.
I've actually listened to and reviewed your tracks before and you also have some great stuff, but it wasn't each others musical ability we were falling out over anyway. : )
Thanks again for reaching out and I really do appreciate it. Who knows, maybe we could even collaborate further down the line.
"It goes way deeper than that, and i wouldnt just say that for that sake of track" ah haha I love it man. Track is FRESH, the scratching is superb, the beatbox out of nowhere is so sick, all in all man this is a Grade A Quality track in my opinion. Love it
Hello Guildford Hello London!!! thats not just a track fams that is an anthem! hot chorus and sik vox. get this on radio man westwood wud love this loool well done.
oh man i didnt think it could get any better. was I wrong or what?! so glad you put this back on! amazing talent. i personally like the scratchin in the beginnin. just my opinion tho
edit: that would be sweet, straight to the ipod and nowhere else :)
I'm not too sure about the scratches in the start. I think you should remove them and recycle them into another track, but the piano and rapping was fantastic, and I liked the drumloop. The chorus sounded great, and all in all this is a great track, the vocals are really clear, you can hear every single word in it, something I still cant do really.
Thanks Ste, much appreciated mate. Really like the track you posted today too. Maybe you're right about the scratching, few people have said that now. I'll re-think it.
I dont know if its my imagination but you have really brought out more of your accent on this over the last couple of days. It works big time cous. This is what makes you're music unique and exactly what made guys like Massive Attack big. keep it up homes. I'll be following your progress with keen interest!

Cool, I'll check that link when I've gone through my reviews. Nice one for that man. I'm still experimenting with my voice/trying to find my feet in MCing, so I'm trying different things right now. So it's changing day by day to be honest.
: )
dude when your vocals punched in at 1:50 i nearly crapped myself...fantastic...you are marketable for sure, and when you have a cd for sale you let me kno!
wow dude...just wow, im so glad i found your work, i dont normally like this style, but uve pulled me in...so clever and creative...you have a new fan...daaamnn
DONT LEAVE! please? I love your tracks man, this one included. I really liked where it sounded like it was fading out and over then the chorus comes back in. Solid vocals, solid producing, solid track. I'm somewhat new to this site, but we are a looperfam, and family sticks together. I hope whatever it is thats bothering you, gets resolved and you continue to make sick jamz for the loop
Thanks very much mate, really appreciate that. It's peeps like you that make me not want to leave this place. I'm sticking around, just have different plans for how I'm going to use the site.
Wicked!!!! Hello Guildford hello London. I don't know why but I absolutely love a British accent to rap. Awesome hook. This def goes to my fav list. Love the orchestral intro piece as well.
I only know one of there tracks, which I love. Called big city life, that's an awesome track, didn't realise they had more. Will have to look into them. Glad you're feeling it Spell, thanks for taking the time.
First off, I'd like to say, again, that I hope you keep posting, and also I'm sorry for not reviewing earlier, I have been lazy for way too long.
The strings at the start sound very nice, kinda reminds me of a movie, not too sure which one though. The string loop and trumpet were both great, and I'm impressed with the vocals! Drumloop was nice as well, and the lyrics could easily be heard and understood well. I'm adding this one to my faviroutes for sure, this song is a great acheivment, but way too short! You need to be discovered, and fast, because this is good hip-hop and people need a break from soulja boi, seriously.
Again, I hope you keep posting stuff, but if you don't, just remember how amazing I think this song is.
No worries ste, there's no obligation. Glad you took the time tho mate, good to get a little critique as well as a pat on the back. Thanks for taking the time again mate, appreciate it.
Tight track man. The hook was great. The beat is ill and your lyrics are tight. Nice work man. Can't wait to hear it once you get it mixed and mastered.
