[It Fueled the Fire]

Damn. Solid drop here. On point on all levels. lyrics, flow, delivery, mixing, all good on this listen! Dope!

KlazikNadi responds:

thanks yo!!

[Angel's Call]

Intro lead up until about the 40sec mark felt awkward (the box and skippy beat didn't really work in cohesion imo), mayeb takes another listen to get used too;). But then the more verse friendly structure dropped and it fell nicely into place. I rather enjoyed the change up too, had a kinda icp beat feel to it (in a good way. the bass WAH is quite satisfying. I fairly diggin it.

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Thanks Mao!

[Careless Souls]

Interesting composition and very unique transitions and shifts between a multitude of instrumental glossiness. First half of this beaut had nice flow, imo, 2nd half, not so much, felt anti-climatic and drawn out af. Sick atmosphere in this one tho, good sounds foshizzle.

[Ugly [DEMO]]

dope song. solid. If I hadn't lost my ipod, it would be on it.

budjohnson responds:

Thanks bro!!

[How it Ends-GZ]

That flow! Goes! Really enjoyed the quick rhymes schemes on this. Lyrical content was creative and most of the rhymes dropped naturally without feeling forced. The mixing is very decent; very audible and appropriately leveled to ride nice with the beat. Im a bit torn, i like the solo vocal track, but I think that some subtle adlibs might add a lil more character to this rap. Beat is dope, very olskooly happy vibe feels on it.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks very much. I actually had some adlibs recorded too, but got a little impatient with the mixing and scrapped them.

[Lights [HOOK ONLY]]

I really like the way you did "lights" , the subtle crackiness of this in general works well with beat, me thinks.

budjohnson responds:

the subtle crackiness is actually a trademark of q sik

[BJ - Blue Monday]

this reminds me of a dream I had based loosely on the Wizard of Oz and Jet Force Gemini. I like has the distorted assy sound sounds like the groan I make when I wake up Monday morning to get ready for work. Diggin the whole feel of this one, the alternations near the end are a nice touch too.

[Never Thought I'd- FlashYizz Ft. DJDj]

Oh my, that narrative stream and a flow to deliver it so diversely, really hits a stride and carries the established theme throughout this song. Lyrics on point, real and hearty. The beat; very vibey, with some nice instrumental accompaniment, the pianos are a very nice touch. Most of the vocal samples, I'm digging, the choral singing nice. The Lil Jon "Hey" and other hype, not so much; thought it clashed a bit with the mood of this. Vocal mixing- first 2/3 dope, very audible and meshed well with the beat. The rap bars at around 3minutes (and the outro rap bit) , the lap top mic set up became apparent. Which is kind of impressive, considering all the vocal range displayed before/after the ear bleeding parts; either you have an awesome laptop mic, or you got some impressive mixing skills or both.

Big props bro. Hope to hear more from you!

NeoAlchemist247 responds:

So awesome to hear from ya, Mick!

Thanks for the breakdown. I deff was less than satisfied with the way a lot of parts sounded, but yeah. The laptop mic is quite limiting. I hope to bring you more in the future!

[Meditate in Moshpits]

Dope flows, sick beat, I might drops something on this...

Unodir responds:

Mickey,

Great to hear from you brother! It's been a few years. I appreciate the positive feedback. The track is WIP and needs substantial mixing and I still haven't spit my part. It's funny how life happens and priorities change. Lately I have been getting that hunger back for some production and word play, thus the recent postings.

Enough about me, how have you been? Repentence and Mysterium are fantistic tracks man.

Keep up the good work. If you ever come across any of my beats and would like to spit hit me up and I'd be happy to send out the individual track originals so you could play around with them.

[Crooked Design [DEMO]]

I'm very much enjoying this. Very stream of consciousness/ real af bars on this. The flow, very chill; the juxtaposition with the harsher vibes on this beat make the points hit harder, kinda. The hooks could use a lil more energy or conviction, me thinks. The honesty is the most best part of this though. Looking forward to seeing where you take this one!
