SALUTE! A DECENT HIP-HOP ARTIST!!
I think the two songs that blew me away were Struggle is Real and Send me to my grave. I'll send you some music here in a few days and if you like it and think you can do something vocal wise over then cool, and if not, no harm no foul, I appreciate you given the listen. peace, Barry
Aaaaah, OK. Struggle is Real is one of my favorites as far as the subject matter...it is very personal. I actually wrote the lyrics for Send me to my grave over 20 years ago! Haha! Yea, just email me what you want and if you have an idea for content for any of the music that I can center my lyrics around just let me know.
will do, I want to remix a few things and pull out some leads so you can have a better idea of what they would be like to put vocals on, they're mixed as instrumentals right now so there's not much room for vocals but give me a few days and I'll send em your way. thanks again for considering the music.
Great choice on Fela Kuti's "Lady"! I wish I had done it!
Nice Songs. Really well done.
Thank you. I really appreciate the compliment.
Hi Flava Hype! Great job on your latest! I really like it. Wish you had posted the lyrics. Anyways, you really nailed this one, awesome, cheers, Ash
Are you referring to "Ridin' On It?" If so, what stood out to you about the song?
Well put me on the spot! Great intro, suspenseful, I like how to break right into the hook, yes, Got a lot Ridin' on it, the recording sounds very professional, instruments/vocals are well balanced, radio ready. The song keeps moving, percussion is tight, love that little melodic blip you've got going, something my teenage girls would probably feel cool playing loud in their car :)
Wow! Omg! Thank you so much Ashley. That means so much to me. The production/engineering crew deserve the credit for developing the sound and making it sound the way it does. I just helped write and provided the performance but THEY actually made the magic happen. It is always interesting to know what catches other artist's ears so thank you for reaching out to express your feelings on my song.
Yes, as I am learning, it takes a team, and I feel that way about the producer I have been working with. Although you must give yourself credit where credit is due my friend. You have some real talent, and I do love that you are humble, but never sell yourself short!
wow Flava, You are a seriously damn good poet. The Struggle is real may be some of the most meaningful words I've ever heard. So your other song gave me an idea. The mixing blues with rap thing. I'd like a chance to collaborate with you. write you a piece of music and you can put whatever words you want over it. Something that has hip hop verse sections and a bluesy / soul chorus Two songs that come to mind are the Trill is gone by BB and There aint no sunshine When She's gone by Freddie King , I hear them in my head with the chorus the same but what if they rapped out the verses It will have an awesome tempo change. Anyway, give me a couple a weeks and I'll send you something, if you don't like no worries I'll just do something else with it . I have one song that touches on the idea but its a synthesis of Blues hip hop and rock and the structure is different, Its called Satisfy, you might check it out. and One other thing, This song The struggle is real, What if you put some pauses in the lyrics during the chorus, " Is this how its gunna be, pause, Is this how I will live out my destiny, pause, The struggle....... slowed it down a little and made just the chorus a little more soulful. I could be more powerful that way. Its such a good song man I'm just blown away by the poetry. peace. barry
I love the mix of Blues with the Hip Hop rap on send me to my grave, seems like a perfect hybrid, I wonder why no one else has ever done it< I mean blues is obviously the cultural grandparent to rap, well anyway, its nice to hear the past and the present come together in this song, what a great song!!
Barry, thank you so much for your comment. I haven't heard anyone else really tap into that and I don't know why either. Thank you for the compliment.
Sure thing, I'll come back another day and check out some more, gotta go right now peace!
