Avenu

Avenu:

I was emailed 2 tracks by Avenu.  Dr. Jekyll Vs. Mr Hyde and Juggernauts.

I absolutely love how Dr. Jekyll Vs. Mr Hyde starts. I cant help but laugh and am looking forward to the humor in the song. The beat is dope and the delivery works so well with it. The lyrics are dope and powerful and draw my attention. The concept is so ill and Avenu delivers flawlessly. This track reminds me of Skin by Chino XL. I absolutely love the idea and it takes a very talented artist to pull it off without sounding corny. A lot of effort was put into this track and I appreciate every bar.


Juggernauts is over an Ear 2 The Beat track. Ear 2 The Beat is my people's so of course I'm feelin the beat. Lyrics come in and I am impressed. This song delivers. Just as I assumed it would from the previous track. The track doesn't seem to have much of a concept to me so it's a little confusing. I am just literally listening to the lyrics and enjoying the intelligence. The song is dope. The beat is dope. I am ultra impressed.

Avenu delivers his remarkable lyrics in the smoothest way possible. It is so amazing to hear this talent. I am excited to hear more from Avenu in the future. "And that's real"



Muse One

Muse One:



This is the first time I started listening to the submitted tracks before starting the review. I usually listen to them WHILE doing the review. I can truly say I could not wait to do this review.

I was sent links to 2 tracks called Don't Cry and So Far Away.

Dont' Cry comes in with a dope beat. Muse drops his lyrics in perfectly and as soon as he starts I am impressed by his lyrics. My first thought is "Can I download this track?"
I am feelin it like crazy. His delivery is perfect and voice is powerful. You can tell that Muse believes his own words and that is very important. He has a message and delivers it well. I would listen to this track on a daily.

I'm feelin the beat on So Faw Away also. The lyrics on this song are on point also. This song is "cute". The concept is for the ladies, and I'm enjoying it. Oh what?!! Sample on the hook. This song just got 100x better!! I am loving this song, and I'm kinda like "Dang I wanna use this beat". Loving it. Absolutely loving it.

Muse One is dope to say the least. I would love to hear more from this artist and he gets my recommendation for dope music!! Props to you Muse One. Thank you for the pleasure of reviewing these amazing tracks!!

Cityiz Mine

Cityiz Mine:
I was sent a link to a mixtape by Cityiz Mine.
Cityiz Mine currently lives in Tamarac, Florida. 
http://www.datpiff.com/mixtapes-detail.php?id=370856

I chose tracks Mek Luv 2 Ya Mind and Let's Go! for review from this mixtape.

I am thinking when Mek Luv 2 Ya Mind starts that the beat may be dope so I am looking forward to hearing it. However Cityiz comes in singing the hook and I am not a fan. 
The beat is dope but the lyrics kick in and Im not hearing any rhythm between the vocals and beat. I'm feeling the lyrics and the concept is dope but I couldn't see myself singing along because the tempo of the lyrics is not correct on the beat. 
The hook comes back in but it sounds awkward and rushed. I just dont like the singing on it. If there was a different hook and the timing on the vocals was better, I would like this song. 

Let's Go comes in with singing as well and again, it doesn't sound great.
I take that back, it sounds really bad. I really think Cityiz should stick to rapping.  The rhythm on this track, however is much better and I am liking this song after the beginning. Lyrics are on point on this song. Dope. Then the hook comes in again and I'm rolling my eyes like "really?"
 The verses are ill. This song has potential. 

Cityiz Mine has talent. I imagine a lot of people enjoy this mixtape and enjoy his music all together. Minus the corny singing, I enjoy it and it was my pleasure to review these tracks.

Das Luene

Das Luene:
I was sent links to 2 tracks called Kinda Lady and The Sunshine.
 http://www.facebook.com/dasleune


 Das Luene is currently in Portland, Oregon.
Oregon Stand up!!


Kinda Lady starts with a sample so yep, I'm in. I am loving the voice and delivery on this song. It is relaxing and powerful.Lyrics are on point and the beat just gets better. The first verse is great and really has kept my attention.
The hook is a little confusing.But I feel it works well with this song.I thoroughly enjoyed what I heard with this song and I could see myself listening to it.


I really like how The Sunshine beings. The beat is dope. Again the delivery is ill. I really enjoy Das' voice. It works well with his content.Lyrically, Das is impressive.
I would listen to this track as well.


Mad respect to Das Luene. I am feelin these tracks and would love to hear more, for my own listening enjoyment.

Mellssa Noemi Escobar

Mellssa Noemi Escobar:
I was sent links to 2 tracks called Stay There and Too Proud.
Ms Escobar currently lives in Albany, New York. 
 http://www.facebook.com/Noemi.Ms.Escobar

As the beat to Stay There drops, I am not really impressed. For the most part it is good but  the strings on the beat sound way too "electronic". I am anxious to hear more though.
Wow. That's all I have to say as this lady starts to sing. This voice is original and I am eager now. 
I am absolutely loving this track. Her voice works so well over this beat. Her lyrics are beautiful. I would jam this song all day in my car. I am completely awe-struck by this girl. 
This song is pure genius and I cannot wait to hear another song from this woman.
"I can hear a million angels singing". I absolutely LOVE this song!!


The piano that starts out Too Proud is beautiful. Really feeling the song already.
Holy crap. This girl comes in so perfectly on this song. 
I am picking my jaw up off the floor while listening to this song. I have not heard such raw talent in a VERY long time. 
I literally want to just hug Ms Escobar.

To conclude, this girl is so very talented. I will recommend her music to absolutely everyone and will most DEFINITELY listen to it myself. I am breathing a sigh of relief right now. I appreciate this girl for everything she is.

Gigglez

Gigglez:

I listened to More Each Day and Confess from Reverbnation.

More Each Day comes in with a dope sample so I am automatically drawn to the song and want to hear more. When the lyrics kick in, I am having a hard time hearing them but production is not my area so all I will say is "Turn up the lyrics!" Gigglez has a great voice that works well with her delivery. The lyrics on is song are on point and actually get better and better as the song goes on. The verses end well and slip into the hook smoothly. I,personally, would not listen to this track. Just not my style, but it's wonderful all the same and definitely a track for the ladies to vibe with.

Confess comes in with a sample too so I'm feelin it. The lyrics are next to unaudible so I am havin a hard time hearing it at all. The beat is dope. Gigglez comes in singing and it sounds awesome (from what I can hear). Her voice is real and not over-done. Gigglez is a force to be reckoned with, lyrically. I am definitely feeling this song.

Gigglez is the voice of the real woman. With her "no holding back" attitude and lyrical talent she has the potential to go places. I'm impressed.

Jay Bizness

Jay Bizness:

I was sent a link to the mixtape by Jay Bizness titled Born Konvicted.
I listened to tracks Black Card and No Tomorrow

I really like how this track starts. The delivery and voice is comparable to Tech N9ne. The song progresses nicely. The vocals should be turned up a little,I am a little confused on the lyrics. It becomes more easily understood as the song goes on. The hook is very catchy.
I really like how the second verse comes in. The transitions are smooth and well thought out. I can definitely see a lot of people getting down to this song. It is very catchy and the "stripper" concept is delivered much differently than most songs of it's kind.
I must state (as I do on all reviews) whether or not I would listen to the song myself. This one I would not. But for the 700 something people who have downloaded this mixtape, I aint mad atcha. There was a lot of effort and work put into this song, that's obvious. I can appreciate that.

No Tomorrow began on a bad note to me. I am not a fan of the singing at the beginning. When the verse kicks in, I change my mind. I am enjoying the lyrics, even though it's a "smoking" song. I think this idea is played out already. I rarely enjoy songs about smoking. The lyrics are on point. I can bet that mad people enjoy this track. Also noticing that this is a BeatG33ks beat. Using a lot of BeatG33ks beats myself I must give props on that.

All in all Jay Bizness is dope. His style is original and his lyrics are ill. I would recommend his music if asked if I've heard anything good lately. The mixtape has done well. 700 people can't be wrong.
