dimestop

Merci, mon ami.
I'm from the northeast of the UK, thats why my Vox will sound strange to you lol, we are closer to Scotland than London, although I live in the centre of the UK now, Birmingham, thanks for your comment and well wishes, appreciated bruv

thanks for the stop off and listen my friend, I had such good fun on this, I spent days on the vocal prep engineering etc and i had a great time because everything I added just made it slightly better, it was one of them good days,

Brado you are one of the real OGs you been around years and you will have seen many come and go, but i learnt from the older guys in our community like you , how to be a good member give feedback and advice where i can, and i also feel inspired to know that there are lots of artist here that are as crazy passionate about music and sharing it here with the family, your comment is inspiring and its great to see you back in featured my friend and hopefully lots of new work from you, thanks again for your time

thankyou for your stop bruv its nice to see you around and giving me a listen, hope your still enjoying your music, its always nice to see old faces too, thanks for your thoughts on my sciaitica, its still painful, but your right about using that pain to motivate and try deliver it with a feeling, I love that description playful masterpiece, it don't take long for somebody in our community puts a smile on my face, thanks mate, you did

hello bruv thanks for the stop and listen, i keep pushing, even through the pain I'm in at the minute, its great to see you back in featured too mate, another long time friend who i enjoy listening to

thanks for your time Alex, i appreciate your listen, I will check your work later when i have an hours listening, thanks again

lol, thanks for the listen and comment, it made me smile young 'un, that's what music is really about, havin' fun first and foremost, i like to see the young'uns come through too, as they learn and progress, then a few years down the line it's them passing their knowledge on to the new comers and your track was worthy of a comment, age doesn't really come into it, stick with it kid you got a bit of talent

thanks for the listen and comment my friend, yes I'm still in a lot of pain but music takes my mind off it, even if it is only a few minutes break, it seems to be getting worse not better, thanks for the nice words you wrote about me, i really appreciate your time, thanks again PaperKup

thanks for stopping thro Paul, yeah health at the min is not fun its extremely painful but it's also good to know it is just a trapped nerve no lasting damage as the hospital said i have no red flags the danger signs, and it should settle down in weeks, not months, fingers crossed, i'll keep going mate, I'm not letting this win, no chance :-) thanks for the props

thank you Mark as i told you on your track, you are a true champion here, your comments are rewarding, you also have an excellent ear too my friend, this is possibly the best production i achieved, the new kit is getting a good run out, i have to now keep this level up, my next is a done i need to master it, i recorded it earlier today, its a warm ballad about a special person, I want to develop dime further he has brought me so much joy and I can unburden my pain thro him, he is my outlet, i want to get to a level where i don't question myself tho, I don't question any off you and your music but i question myself every time, but I'm starting to think that possibly all question their own content, maybe lol,
your comments are important to me because you knew me when i only knew scraps of this music game, i keep chugging my friend

its an awful illness my friend and yes you do recover from it, once your herniated disc as settled back into place and then the snagging of the sciatic nerve no longer occurs, i have done a bag of research on it, 40 % of the population suffering from it, age 20 -50 is most common, i thought it was age related as its my first time at 60, it's not and America has a huge % of numbers, but big pharma make a killing from pain relief, so you get the least helpful aid at first, I move on to nerve block meds now then cortisone injections if it still persists, its a nightmare but at least i now know age has nothing to do with it, that boosted my confidence a bit lol

i've always made angry music or hurtful stuff, but I'm about to get very playful and so undime but of course I will return as the guy I created lol

i am so sorry to here that bro, such a young age too, and life has never ever been pain free, mine has been extremely testing pain wise, physical and emotional, but that makes who you become, i have no doubts when you become 30 you will have your own family and be strong for them and push through the pain you have, although your hands are so vital, lose the use of them would be just as painful as losing your sight, losing a leg you can hop around still lol, if you get my meaning, good luck with your health my friend and thankyou for listening and commenting I appreciate it, nerve blocker medication is my next try for a fix, i know exactly how you feel, constant pain brings you down, keep smiling young 'un, thats what we do tuff it out :-)

thanks Steven, you not wrong about writing it off, i felt great thought i was good went back to work monday, left the office 9.30 by 10.45 my back gave up, back on sick, i now have to hava a scan at hospital to see if i have damaged discs, its a nightmare and bloody painful, but i do like that achy braky back idea lol, food for thought and you made me smile, so thanks mate

cheers mate, yeah I love this place lots too and your bruv and Robin are two of my closest. i listened to Robin and Rita back when i just listened before i joined, then i have been pals with them since 6 years, Manu your bro and others joined us Cru and MT many others too until the update, we have just supported each others individual uniqueness, none of us are in competition with each other, we are family, you heard about us fom Aaron and now you see it for yourself and our group gets stronger with Dan Anthony Fanis etc we all have the same mentality about sharing music whilst being individual and everyone benefits then the listener the community and each artist too the music gets even better when they then go on to collab, what's not to like about that Jared

lovely words bro, thankyou so much, i will get round to it

thanks for the listen bro, i still got your track too, just not done anything with it yet as i been a bit ill, nothing serious, but i got to be in the frame of mind, this sciatica doesn't help,
age is just a number when its about music,
the music is paramount
if it makes people think or smile your winning, what more can you ask for really

thankyou for the listen and comment bro, its much appreciate thankyou for your time, I liked the finish on this

yeah it had fun in it, i'd had good feedback about my rappin and this was really the start for me, writing good rhymes and bars, Star Walkin proved to me I could do it, but my tracks, still tongue in cheek and not with the belief I bring now, as for a diss track though I thought it was savage myself, lol

i agree with every word you write, Robin is a great guy, although we come from different countries we both come from strong industrial backgrounds like steel-making and ship-building parts of the country but we are just over an hrs drive apart in theory but the working man mentality is ground into you from birth. even if I were a multi millionaire i would still be working class grounded, i'd have what i needed and nothing more and wouldn't spend for spending sake either, well ok maybe a gold ingot with dimestop stamped into it lol, above my fireplace under a life-size oil commissioned portrait, he's such a big head bugger that dimestop one loool,

Rita, you commented on my very first piece, along with Cru Cyber Zoot and i think Mark too, Ian puesdo was first to ever leave a comment, and you have commented on every track since, i commented on your work and called you boom boom Rita, I commented on Bones and possibly Cru or Cyber as my first comments , i'd been watching for 8 month and i was ##### myself,
5+ years Mrs, i think your closer to 6, that's all and now look at us, just like the Fran's also who are older, talent is ageless just because we are older, doesn't mean we are any less ambitious as the young 'uns and still want to achieve things and I truly believe both me and you are proud of what we have achieved within our community and the friendships and bonds that formed simply because of our love for music, the 3 most important members of our community to me are you Manuela and Kayos in no particular order either your the only female live performers we have and you all keep the testosterone levels balanced and your all well loved and missed when your missing, you will always be one of my closest because we do have more in common than i think each of us Knew but learn't as our friendship grew, thanks for your constant support, it means lots to me

thanks Frans, your props are like cupids arrows and hit my heart everytime, i get good response from my Flat sound studio headset, you hear the sound as even as possible and the great low and and bass on my studio speakers allows me to get the best volume balance and vocal processing is always time consuming with equalization stereo separation and resonance and getting the right level with verb and delay, i use compression to take out all the low ends first only slight compression then i further compress it later on along the master chain, and to be fair, this track actually jumps out my speaker too, i see your fresh too so will be commenting in a while

thanks Richard your support has always warmed me, you are a lovely gentleman and are a pleasure to communicate with, on top of being a talented artist too, we all just want to share and build new friendships with kinsmen that have the same feelings as you when it comes to music, i am incredibly proud of this community and its artists because we are the people that have helped build it along with all our peers that walked before us, and the truth too, if i somehow ever got a break or hit, i would still be more active here because this is were i call home when it comes to music, i will always stand up for myself as that's just me, but i'm not here to argue with others all i want to do is share and be myself

that means so much to me my friend, i have invested good money in my set up, i always ask permission if i use anyone else's work loops samples even tho i don't need to i do anyway, i play keys and drums and i enjoy writing lyrics more than anything, i am aware there are far better musicians and producers than me on this platform and i joined to share and learn more, but finding i had a talent for writing poetic lyrics was i highlight for me and this community gave me a different mind set and it helped with some of the anxiety and memories i carry and as you say sampling is an art-form in itself, i done two covers of two movie soundtracks one was Breakin the movie, and other a huge dancer movie too, i was granted permission to upload to Youtube and soundcloud as i had altered them enough to get that permission, copyright is there for a reason to protect the original artist from theft of their work and as a hobbyist amateur i do everything in my power to make sure i aint breaking the rules, when you get a takedown these days you never get back on the algorithms are all against you and you have no chance of uploading anything anywhere, i also read long ago that labels and distributors also check if you have take downs associated to copyright and they won't touch you either, not that i will ever get contacted lol, I;m also personal friends with artists from the 70's and 80's that had hits and a number 1, and my friend you are an artist i want to work with its just finding some space at the moment i will reach out though soon

thanks Dan, your time is appreciated and yor comments too thankyou

lol, your a young kid i could never roast you, but i did get insulted by an adult here a long time ago, he was my friend too, but i roasted him, he's no longer around, here it is lyrics are my strong point https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/246406
