    Really loved the EP. For a while wondered when you would come in with the long intro on Like Water :westbrook3:

    5 Am secrets you sounded a lot like Kendrick at times :weebey: really liked the beat, @LasiK!

    Bloom City 2004 was also great. EP was a nice, chilled laid back type of EP :banderas:

    This is very good man. First 2 songs are very relaxing; Like Water is fluid (no pun), I liek the vocals on the first verse, and the flow on the second is doep. I like the straight rapping on 5AM Secrets in the start, and then Bloom City sounds trippy af.

    Lasik's beat is :emoji_fire: great sampling, reminded me of L'Orange

    I'll add it to the same folder with the previous one for a longer listen :emoji_thumbsup:

    Im glad you f----- with it man...the first two tracks are very old recordings i just tried to make sound better for this. the last one i did kind of recently. wanted something different for pt 2. the other side to the high energy stuff on pt 1
    I appreciate it man!! I have so many Lasik beats in my iTunes lol, he's taken so many down over time.
    let me know when you do!!

    liked it pretty well barring a couple things. one being a production related thing that I can't really fault you for on track 3, and the other just being a personal preference for how music should sound as I'm not a fan of the LQ, 'oldschool' sound the tracks have

    Track 2 and 3 is :wow:

    The first track seemed very low quality (both vocals and beat), but was chill as.

    Out of the two parts, this one is one I vibe with more. Great work Narsh!

    5AM & Bloom City might be my most favorite stuff I've heard from you yet :wow:, a nice contrast from the more livewire tracks from the first part of the EP

    The opening track is good, but not your best work..although--overall, this project is a break from the 'norm' so to speak. Very good, keep it up!

    I remember listening to a song or two of yours a while ago and not really digging it. But that's not the case here, I truly enjoyed the EP. You've really improved and I love the sound of this. Hit me with a mention next time you release something :emoji_thumbsup:

    Your previous ep is superior to this imo. I don't really like the direction you've chosen on this project. I understand that you wanted to do something different and show your 'softer' side to the world, but you're not good at making chill, mellow tracks. I prefer listening to you when you have agressive mode on and you're rapping your a--- off.

    5 am secrets is the best track out there. Lasik's beat is brilliant but the is mixing is ehh. It doesn't stress the strength of this track, but other than that it's good. It's decidedly the most tolerable song on the whole ep. My biggest issues with two other songs are: overlong intro and outro on Like Water and the complete chaos on the final track which is kind of overproduced (?). There are too many distracting things going on at the same time which bring about It's really hard to appreciate your great lyrics. I like when songs are abrasive but it has to be done right. I'm not even sure if you wanted to make it sound like that or it was some kind of side effect. :)

    P.S Btw, I'm still bumping 2 sides EP pt 1. It's fireee. :wow:

    Great feedback man. This is definitely a lot sloppier/half assed. first two tracks were recorded like a year ago. i just felt that weird neurotic urge to put something out. Last beat wasnt even meant to be rapped on lol but i liked it too much

    Im glad you love pt 1 man means A LOT. I think its fire too :stephena:

    Im gonna work on a new project fleshing out the more aggressive sound instead of tryin anything else

    lets see how that goes:ehh:
