Joseph G: 

I was submitted 2 tracks via email called I Know Why You Left and Got Away.

I Know Why You Left kinda started on a Brother Ali tip to me. The beat I mean...kind of an instrumental lead in. It's dope. When the beat actually drops I'm really feelin it. JG's voice works well over the beat. And he delivers well with the concept. More mellow and serious. OK so when you hear the title you kinda seem to think you know what the song will be about but I was wrong LOL. This track is deep. Lyrics are thought out and intelligent. I'd listen to this track.


It's probably just me but I dont like how Got Away comes in. Most likely just not my style. Again, the delivery is flawless. And the lyrics are impressive. JG is definitely talented with his words. As the beat goes on, I like it. Anyone who has listened to MY music knows this track is something I would be into. Just the content. I'm not feeling the hook. This song is deep and real. I like it overall.
Kobe Sixx:


I was sent 2 tracks from the upcoming mixtape BoomBox Voodoo. Titled Bath Salts Face Off and Smokin Real Loud.

Feelin the beat on Bath Salts Face Off. Like hard. Sample is dope and the bass is killin em. Lyrics seem kinda deep for the track. Seems like it should be something more simple, if that makes sense. The beat is mad fun and the concept just seems like it should be crazy, not lyrical. I'd like to hear more energy in the delivery but over all the track is ill.


I'm feelin the lyrics on Smokin Real Loud like instantly. I'm impressed. I'm not a fan of smoking and drinking songs so I am kinda partial on this one. The hook needs more, it doesnt have the thought put into it like the first verse. And the 2nd verse isn't as impressive either. The track seems like dude was mad excited at the beginning of the song but was kinda bored with the song as it went on. I'm not feelin this song much. The third verse I believe I remember was "Shame Dollaz"? This song was submitted a while back so I don't remember completely. However, Shame Dollaz did not ask me to do a review so I will not comment on his verse.

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.
