[Nectarr]

Dank! Fresh! Nikes!

This is smoove mang.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks dude, I like how the drums came out on this, it's hit or miss sometimes.

[Fight Against Your Beliefs]

[R4R]

I highly enjoy the buildup towards the drums that pop up at ~1:10 and onward, but the drums themselves sound kind kind of weak and I think they need some additional mixing in order for them to not be as drowned out by the other elements of thus piece.

The guitar is nice, is that synthesized or played live?

The synth work as well as the pads are highly soothing and enjoyable.

All in all though, I enjoy this piece.

4/5 9/10

MysteriousPresence responds:

Thanks for the review ! =)
Yeah I think I should have compressed the drums a little bit more ! ^^
No, I'm afraid this is synthesized ! I actually never learnt how to play any instrument ! X)
Thanks again !

[Despair]

Nice! Where is the dialogue from?

EdKempeper responds:

Hi ! Thank you ! This sample comes from the movie "Dune". Here's the link:

[-Edge of Existence-]

Clear as a bell!

Dope ish Teq!

Teqneek responds:

Good, thanks man. I sent you that file for sampling too btw just in case yo ass aint seen it yet.

[Rays]

I looove the snare in the break, so mellow!

This whole chune is warm, yet cool.

Keep it up B!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

thanks M, or rather LS

[Spironolactone]

I find it ironic that I came across a track with the name of a medication I'm taking, haha. Any specific reason why you decided to name this chune after a diuretic/Testosterone Blocker?

Trippy styles you've got going. Very innovative. Wish you had more chunes this year, your output from last year is ill as all get out.

I'm really digging what you did with the vocal sample here. And those keys in the beginning which sound like they originate from a the same vox, I might be wrong, but those are dope regardless.

4/5 9/10 for length. Wish it was longer personally, only gripe I have.

phosphorusprocedure responds:

Ooh I feel you. I gotta buy an actual desk. Then it'll be a lil easier to make beats like this. The way I got my set up now, it's easier to noodle around on guitar for 5 hours than it is to mess around in FL.

Got a pile of records a few weeks ago, haven't given them a listen yet. Hopefully, I find something cool on those! Thanks for listening, man.

[Lost Together]

I highly appreciate that you put up the lyric sheet as the vocal track could be a tad louder in my opinion. Did Shak master this as well or is the mastering all you?

All in all, I dig the subject matter. Is the 'Turkish' line a jab/comment regarding the recent failed Coup or am I reading to much into your rhymes?

I look forward to more material and possibly working with you again in the future!

Glad you're back! ^_^

Finally, mad props to Shak for supplying a dank trap beat.

Teqneek responds:

Yeah, it was all me mastering. I don't have the best setup, skill, or time to get professional quality, but if possible I'm going to upload a remaster. Bring up the main vocals just a tad more, and lower the dubs.

As far as the line "Turkish and perfect"- prooobably the most "to be taken literally" rhyme I've ever spit. Although the coup was mentioned in some of my throwaway bars. Thanks for listening man, appreciate the feedback.

[The Step]

YOINK!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

This beat is as phat as my mom's ass crack
Not that she has a fat rear, I just thought that was queer
How you make your drums go down like Apple Beer?
The track is on point, so far from wack backpack

I should record those lines (as well as write a complete verse) to this and put it up. It's been a whole YEAR since I've put spits on wax.

All in all, this is a quirky, fun, phresh beat Bou!

Keep releasing your old unreleased gems. I do so through my Throwback Thursday joints. ^_^

10/10 5/5

BOULLIE responds:

You can do better than those lines right there

Thanks. I'm trying not to have every upload be something previously unreleased, just haven't made anything really fresh lately. It's like my drumpad is an old fruit stand. No flies and shit but the tomatoes are looking a bit bruised ya know?

I caught your TT beat it was nice

[Achilles]

I love the quaint human touches the cuts of the break has, really makes me think as if this was made by scratch on an MPC or Akai, even though I'm well aware you use FL. A combination of the two perhaps?

Those subtle vibes every second measure within the loop of cuts on the sample make my inner psyche squee with giddiness. ^,_,^

This just oozes Jazz-Hop. Well done as well as copious amounts of kudos mein freund.

That is all.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks man, yeah all FL, just tweaked the drum chops a bit on the playlist jank.
