Another nice one J. I guess it's just a matter of preference but for me the highlight was your guitar work in the background. Really tasty licks that nonetheless supported the vocals without overwhelming them. Respect!

Agreed, the guitar work was not done by me, but its totally filthy.

I am glad it was an enjoyable listen.

I like your beat picking skills. Your flow reminds me of rapper "The Grouch." Spoken word element to your style with storytelling added. Nice work man.

Thanks for stopping by. I had not ever heard of The Grouch, but you are right, some of the style is similar.

Hey J,

This is another hotshot! track from you once again, are you rapping these lyrics off the top of your head or do you write your lyrics down, I'm asking because sometimes when I hear a track the lyrics just come to me and I do one takes off the top of my head, didn't always find that easy but with time it's become like second nature especially if I'm vibing with the track.

Your lyrics are brilliant! they make you think & your delivery as I have always said is so fresh & laid back. TOP! Work here indeed.

The one thing I like about this time of the month is because of Easter holidays & I get a little free time from work to breathe & with all that's going on, this was a breath of fresh air. Keep it up.

Angelus, thanks for getting in early om the comments and taking a listen. I agree it's a hotshot! I never go off the top of my head. Sometimes I'll be writing a verse then I'll hear a beat, and I'm like "ohhh that's the one!" For this one I got lucky I was laying a verse down and I messed up, and the hook came to me.

Usually it's all written out. This was my first track of this style, im hoping the producer makes some more beats like it.

Enjoy your time off. Thanks for all the love.
And remember it aint no vacation with out a in your hand/... I hope that's okay to say.

Hey John, nice work! Generally I'm not that big into rap but I definitely enjoyed this. The mix was really well balanced. Pristine, in fact.

Hey Johnnie, haha, that's also not how I meant it, I'm just this silly amateur. But I've collaborated with people in the past (usually on guitar), I noted you used a drumcomputer for this one, which is absolutely fine.. but I thought maybe if you want a non-computer drum loop, them I can create something for you or with you, or any such variation :)
Of course if you want to pay me for studio work.. but nah, I prefer doing free bits for people whose music I enjoy :)

Just going through my old songs, looking for one to delete so I can upload a new one. This is a nice comment, just thought I'd note that. Id prefer if it was all live instruments, but that's too much to ask for these days.

Me encanta la introducción y esa batería intensa que acompaña tu voz. Profundo bajo y ese coro sintético, que enriquece la pista, es muy agradable y queda muy bien. Buen toque de guitarra. Trabajo de altura. Que tengas un buen día hermano. Paz y salud.

WOW! this beat goes hard! it's such a powerhouse track indeed. You are riding that beat like a champion! like that nonchalant flow you got going on, it suits the track. GREAT lyrics/work! on the beat. Kudos!

Nice work Johnnie - you are a little tighter with the vocal here and its very fine as is the lyric. The track is really nice too, wonderful orchestration, etc. A hit for sure : )

Thank you, pseudoble luckily this turned out okay, I had never done a track like this one. I still might make a lyric tweak here or there.
