Kofi Yung/ Mason Way

Kofi Yung and Mason Way are my first artist to review from fiverr.com! ! Thank you so much!!


The first track I am listening to is called I Get It In. Aaannnndddd pressing play.


I immediately begin rocking my head side to side to this track. The repetitive "I get it in" is catchy and notable. The synth sound on the beat has never been something I liked in beats but it works well for the song and does not hide the fact that the song is already boppin.
When the lyrics kick in, the whole track immediately becomes dull. The delivery is lacking and I feel no emotion behind the words. The actual lyrics themselves are not bad but not great. There were a few bars that caught my attention but overall it's not outstanding. I feel like the so-so lyrics could have held up if he seemed more proud to be delivering them.
I don't usually speak on production because its not something I know as much about but the production on this track is really good. I can hear the vocals clearly, some voice effects like echos and fades are present and executed very well. What I could have heard less of is where the beat drops out so Kofi Yung is kinda accapella on the track, I feel like that was over used.
I dont hear anything memorable about the hook. The lyrics are not strong and its not the high point of the track like a hook should be.
Again on the second verse the delivery is not there. Either Kofi Yung is reading his lyrics or just tired of repeating them. If the delivery improved the whole song would sound different to me.
The lyrics are unimpressive to me. "Mike Tyson bitin some ears" . I shook my head on hearing this. The lyrics are simple and cheap. I am thoroughly unimpressed by the lyrical content of this song.
Truthfully this beat is great. I do not feel like it was done justice. The delivery on the song needed to be turned up about 6 notches. I really would like to see some more enticing lyrics and the song could have some potential.


The next track I was sent is called It's Right by Mason Way

The beat starts with the synth again but im hoping it picks up like the last one.
The lyrics kick in and my face becomes completely surprised. Im going to keep listening to make sure I'm hearing this right. Im just gonna say...the weird sounds gotta go man.
The delivery is much better on this song. I can tell that Mason Way is a fan himself of this song. He seems to like to deliver it. Thats what I want to hear more of. The lyrics are just ok. But I havent heard anything rhyme yet.
As the song goes on I am hearing the same words used and rhymed over and over. The concept trails off then comes back and I am completely confused by this song, and for that reason I just cant feel it. Is this about a girl he likes or a girl he hates?? I kinda feel like Mason Way was going for a Big Sean sound here. Thats a fail.
This song is a rambling nonsensical track that I am not proud to have listened to.

 These artists have much potential. The delivery exists but needs to be consistent.  The lyrics are there but need to be utilized. With the right beats and content, I imagine a great track. Please continue to build and learn and find where you belong. I'd love to hear more in the future.

Kofi Yung and Mason Way are on soundcloud. Go listen to these tracks tell me if you feel how I feel!!
