It's very funky, so I like it! :)
The bass loop is great, but it's now everywhere throughout the track. You could consider to give the "do it right" portion a different bass (maybe a 5th lower?) or maybe the part from 1:00. That way you get a bit of breathing room for the listener.
But lovely stuff!

Lovely track! At the start I wanted it to be a bit faster, but when I got into it I realised it's the perfect tempo. Well done!

Happy Diwali/Deepavali!
TikTok crushes don't seem like a healthy idea, but at least it gave you a nice track ;)
It's distorting a bit in my cheap headphones though. Can you check if anything is in the red?
And great vocals!

I love that. Great groove and some nice vocals. I think you can bring out the "oohohh" background vocal a bit more.
Great trumpet too!! Live, sample or plugin? I can't seem to find any decent brass any time I look (and I hate searching for them).
Great stuff! fav'ed!

Nice! The vocals could be a bit louder in the mix I feel, but if you say "no tricks", do you also mean no mixing?
Also, you could consider to build up the instruments bit by bit, and say at 2:25 you could consider the opposite: take out all instruments and just have the vocals for the last bit?

It's painful that Tutu's words are still relevant and will probably also be relevant 50 years from now.

That's really good and way too short - you may not actually have intended for it to ende so abruptly, or was that part of the "demo" project? In any case, promising!!

Nice! What's the sample in this one?

Not a fan of the clickety "hats", but everything else is spot on. Really good!

Surf's up! Great sound and buckets of energy!

Love it. Straight up awesome!

Oh, I highly recommend doing open mic nights. I've learned so much both about playing and writing, and the atmosphere is always supportive.

Btw I see my comment may have come across as quite rude, but there's a perfectly good reason for that: I'm a total dh.

What I mean to say is: I always enjoy your tracks! But somehow I seem to have forgotten to write that, my apologies!!

That would be me! I whipped out my guitar and played along, so I think that deserves a fave :)

Strong track. I like what you did around 1:40; not a fan of the extreme fadeout/ins in the middle and the end. It was an interesting listen though, I could see this in a video game!

strong rap but man, that's a lot of distortion. Try to leave a bit more headroom in your tracks?

Dude, that is ffing amazing, and I'm not even a Reggae fan. Fav'ed!! I would totally play that on a loop, great track!
I'm transported straight back to Jamaica (even if they don't play that much reggae anymore these days ;) )

This is insanely good. The guitar is perfect with a Mark Knopflery sound.
Come back soon with more!

Nice, great use of the spoken word vocal!

Your vocal fits really well with the instrumental part but the booming kick is out of sync and doesn't feel like it belongs there. See if you can fix that!

100% Smokey John! And you used a great beat!
See if you can either use a bit more tone in your vocal, or else, do it more as a rap. I think that will add a bit of dynamic to it.
Good luck man, every track you make is better than the previous!

That's a great classic track! Love it!

Actually, I think it may be the keys which are a bit too loud, so maybe lower those a bit. In any case, give more space to your vocals!

That's great!! All played yourself, keys, drums vocals? Shake hand brother :)
Your voice is also great (I mean especially great); you just need to stand a bit closer to the mic, or possibly make it a bit louder in the mix.
Great stuff!

It's a cool rap! But I don't think you need that much processing on your vocal. I know the feeling of wanting to hide your own voice, but no need. I think it will sound better with less distortion!

Koninginnedag? Dan is het al weer een tijdje geleden neem ik aan ;) (10+ jaar?)
