[Grim Reaper]

Dope bars Teq!

Love the beat.

Would love a lyrics sheet yo!

5/5 10/10

Teqneek responds:

Thanks yo, I will upload lyrics soon, lol I was too impatient to include them

[Concept Appraise]

Nice concept you have here Dureagon.

Is that bass part of the kick or a low-pass filter on the sampled track?

DJDureagon responds:

That be a grimey kick there. Most of the sample track bass is filtered out. Save for one small segment.

[besides (demo 2)]

Dope lyrics! Love your style already and I've only heard one song!

Singing on the hook! That's a much under appreciated aspect of underground Hip Hop.

When this is released proper will you include a lyric sheet?

It's about time I check your stuff out, never thought of doing so before I saw a comment of yours on B-radG's latest beat. I think you've been a fan of mine for at least a year and I never returned the favor.

Love this whole thing, can't wait to prowl through the rest of your page.

5/5

heyopc responds:

The full version should be available on itunes and spotify and google play etc. lyrics are on there. glad you like it!

[IDK]

I feel like the second instance of the hook is not as good as the first or third, but that's just my opinion. The internal rhyme schemes are awesome and expertly placed, so that makes up for the negative opinion.

The beat could be better to be honest. I hear clipping, which is either due to the loud and low audio quality of the beat and the vocals. Actually it is the vocals clipping. Need assistance mastering? I wouldn't mind helping out. :)

"A bar away from a country song//
I lost my car, my job, and I lost my dog"

Did you lose your canine companion recently? Condolences in regards to that last bar in this couplet.

With the theme being IDK, is this another one of those tracks wherein you're trying to get back into the hang of rapping again? I feel like I've heard much better than this from you in the past.

All in all, not bad.

8/10 4/5

Teqneek responds:

So basically what you're saying is give up. WELL TOO BAD LIBBY SHIMMZ, I'll probably be doing this til I'm 146 years old.

And yeah I had to put my 12 year-old beagle down recently. It sucked. The vet showed up and I was still sleeping so his knocking woke me up. . I dashed out of bed to meet him at the door, and in a matter of 2 minutes the deed was done.

So- due to my oversleeping, I never really got a chance to give my dog a proper goodbye. It was really sad for me because my dog was the only thing that stuck by my side through every shitty moment in the past 12 years. She deserved a better send-off than that

[your soul , my beats]

Dope sample!

Needs something more tho...

KingSandy responds:

you right tbh

[[S_Rock] UHHH]

Dope sounds bruv!

What is that wavering wobbly string-like instrument? I hear snippets of strings every few measures, so I assume it's a filtered (glitchy plugin?) violin... Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The string run's note progression during the chorus is nice.

I'll have to listen to this after I sleep so I can better aurally observe the low-end, but I love this so far.

5/5 10/10

S-Rock responds:

You're correct ^^ they are Cellos with a guitar pedal plug-in. in fact every instrument on this beat is cello. other than the bass and drums :P thanks for your time though I really appreciate it.

[your name ...]

Dooope sample!

Very lo-fi track.

I like the way the piano falls off-kilter near the end of the first half, though I wish this had more variation.

Dig the last bit too.

5/5 8/10

KingSandy responds:

thanks man

[Concept Birth]

Interesting use of Time Stretching in the beginning. I dig the sample, the chops are nice and it's cool how you switched this up with the vocals later on. I wish it was longer tho. 4/5 8/10

DJDureagon responds:

Thanks. it'll be longer once its all done.... hopefully.

[Aromas]

That harp is divine.

That synth sound is interesting, sample or homemade synth?

Dope beat bruv!

B-RadGfromOV responds:

All samples. The strings sound like a synth cause of the flanger effect I put on it.
