MaoDaMighty's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Calling (Prod. Chris Wheeler)]

This goes hard, really digging the emphasis on the multi schemes and all the imagery in this. A few bars felt a a bit contrived/stretch too much for lyrical purposes rather than content "ex: cloning now/Colin Powell". Overall though, sick sick sick bars and the rhymes, DAMN! Mixing is crisp, I enjoy the lack of obvious dubs; singular voice presentation works very well for this track...well.. maybe the hook could use a lil more touch, idk. Beat is fyah. Dope song for just a hip hop track .

SkyFromD-Squad responds:

Thanks buddy

[Dark Days]

Axtekk's beat so good!!!

Really good song here. Even with the quite dynamic and awesomeness of this beat, the mixing of the vocals was very audible and on point throughout. Lyrics are solid and have a very heart broken poets vibe to them. The transition from the verse to hook was executed very well on each verse. Definitely one of the best deliveries I've heard from ya; your voice really hits the right emphasis to make the lyrics really sink in. Ironically enough, I think a "depressing" song like this, may just help someone who's feeling down; so a feel good song it very might well be!

Props and keep up bro

Teqneek responds:

Wow Mickey, regarding your closing comment there... I just got done about 2 hours ago explaining to my mom almost word for word what you just said. Haha that's crazy. Anyway thanks for the input man, you my most improved friend 2016

[E & J]

Liked the intro! Your voice works very well with the theme and the beat. Your flow really shines on this romanticish tip, like very very good; I admit, I was skeptical at first, but you rock this shit hard on. Delivery is spot on, it really sounds like you had these lyrics coming from the heart. Gotta love that Teddygram beat too! Solid track here. The vocal mixing could use some more touch though, the dubs were a bit too sloppy; the echo effect made it difficult to catch a lot of the verse content.

Awesome track here, if it dont get you laid then the pope don' t shit in the woods/

Teqneek responds:

Thanks Mickey I love you... Also I remastered and reuploaded this here tune so hopefully it sounds less dub-heavy now. Lol I gotta chill with that shit I know; but getting back into the swing of things and finding my voice again- dubs are a crutch. But I gots to walk now, na'mean?

[Basilisk-DJD]

This is sick. Real freeverse feels. 17 thumbs up.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

:D preesh bra

[Archangel]

Wow. This just vibes! Nice work here, really diggin' it!

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Thanks Mickey!

[Zen]

FFFf %^#'n vibes on this, wowza! Really like the ebb n flow here. Great little 2nd half change up, switched it up but still kept it familiar. I give this 7 wombat mercenaries out of 2 advanced worg riders.

Libby-Shimmz responds:

"I give this 7 wombat mercenaries out of 2 advanced worg riders."

What the hell does that mean?

Thanks for the review!

[Luke - SK]

Haven't really watched/read much of King's stuff... so my guess is 1) Four Past Midnight 2)Black House 3) The Green Mile 4) Bag of Bones 5) Night Shift 6) Hearts in Atlantis 7)Carrie 8) The Shining 9) Heroes for Hope Starring the X-Men 10) Duma Key 11) Doctor Sleep 12) b 13) b 14) d 15) all of the above.

As for the rest of the stuff. The mixing on this track is awesome. Start to finish, its gotta the tone and atmosphere set and established. I probably missed 99% of the references, but the wordplay was impressive. One thing though, I thought that you overused a bit similes too much in the first verse;I'm thinkin they are almost too simple when doing these reference based songs. The vocals were audible and the flow was on point. You're really stepping up your delivery too, I like what you're doing with this.

Keep it up NoCoins!

Luke responds:

You got a few of them for sure! I didn't reference Night Shift, Duma Key, or Heroes for Hope, and I don't think I referenced Four Past Midnight either.

Thanks for the review and feedback, when I think about it I did use a bit too many similes in the first verse, didn't really notice that until now. I'll keep it in mind for the next track, good to hear from you buddy!

[History Gets Ta Me]

I really like your flow in this lil joint. And the content covered in this abstract piece of lyrical diddy is quite impressive. The beat decent and serves the purpose, nothing too special, but it does good. You got a real knack for rhyme schemes add it shines here. Nice werk dawg!

CHiLEDAWG responds:

Appreciate the listen thank you mickey!

[Kwing vs Blest]

I liked this battle. Had some good replay-ability thanks to the lyrical skills of both these dudes.

Kwing's first verse had a held back/ reserved approach to it, but his second verse was more on point and direct; however his flips were a bit too overt for my liking. The sound quality wasn't in his favour but the audibility was improved in the second verse. Sounds like Kwing was a bit green in this encounter; from 1st to 2nd verse there was huge improvement; hope to hear him battle again :)

Blest has really stepped up since the last time I heard him last battle. Very creative disses and some ample wordplay. " If I understand, you're bars were planned before the battle, and I went second...bombed the first...flip lines.... mistakes x3" was the stand out line for me. While his flow has an excellent amount of energy and complexity, some lines sounded a bit rushed or under enunciated.

Good showing from both. Blest gets the W with/for witty wordplay and better Wwap skillz(atm).

Kwing responds:

Thanks for voting!
Blest - 4
Kwing - 1

[SwagFest ft. BummerCityTown]

Nice swag ya'll.
But actually this had swagger.
Both of ya killed it. Rezzy's verse change my life and basically reversed my perspective of this hip hoppin thing. Word.

RezzyTip responds:

That's what deep introspective lyrics do to people man, glad I could open your eyes & mind with swagger. //endsarcasm
