    new 8 track project…starts off pretty batshit crazy (danny brown influences to the max), and becomes more intelligible as it continues.

    The first two tracks have the roughest mixes, but I kept em because
    1) I can't do any better mix wise
    2) I love the energy/vibe you get from it

    The middle tracks are clearly Young Thug, etc influenced.

    The backend is the most normal sounding s---.

    Check it out if you can, I'll drop a few mentions for people I think might leave some feedback/thoughts.

    The lyrics are in the individual tracks on soundcloud, but I can post em here for any specific tracks if necessary.

    f--- it, here are the lyrics for the first two tracks - since they're literally the epitome of unintelligible the first time you hear it hahah

    greatNESS:
    Im alkaline on acid trips
    I act divine my mind is picked
    My numbers six Six six I quit
    I sunk your ship Im battling my balances
    Im tipping scales im weigh wales
    my white like mountains of some hail
    And Lady Justice aint been blind to me
    Your highness please allow me peace
    Allah ahu f--- it I rushed the mantra
    sheesh dont go there please im kinda
    fond of jane not mary imma
    travel back in time to charm her
    Oh and these few potent schemes
    Aint forming free they cost a fee
    Stop jocking me hop off my steeze
    Im honestly a mockery
    They hating me I see the speech
    Its breached my mind I let it seep
    The darkness creeps through melodies
    Im zoning out like parking please
    dont offering me no novelty
    Pharmacology my chemicals call for clarity
    common bond is therapy
    im gohan glaring graciously
    hyperbolic halo reached
    f--- a super sayian three
    im ascending past ascendancy
    arresting me for potency
    pour more moet a poet needs
    some liquor in his liver three lines of lucid lottery
    lotus flower blossoming
    born to power purchased with my feet beneath
    now im above beneath is luxury
    i sacrificed my substance seeking shelter in this meldoy
    this melody is heavenly
    let it be this leisure is for everyone
    everything
    doesnt need to be a tragedy
    verses be nursing wounds like infirmaries
    versus me your nothing b
    nothing besides everything
    everything your everything
    im contradicting selfishly
    im a binge just let it be
    im polar buying bags of trees
    melting like im warming globally
    i see the world as open honestly
    oysters with their pearls they're mofucking vomiting
    vamos my entity
    interesting this meldoy
    i heard it through the tele screen
    the static seeming heavenly
    grab a piece for pedigree
    our family trees been burning since i turned the page at 13
    see I've been smoking fumes since early
    surely you've been aware the room's been burning
    ingest the fuel and service those who wish for you to upend
    all their dreams of your success
    much less anythign you wanted
    honest so i set the tree on fire
    liar, liar liar fly a
    kite above the skyline
    i am on some nylon
    that loud so loud im silent
    killer like it's raidon
    teleporting patience
    im losing it it's vacant
    abusing this new cadence
    you aint using me for nathan
    im hallucinating spaceship
    space is so f---ing open spacious
    faceless tracing stars and then erasing
    etches i shake it i stretch i mold it
    i bake it i hotbox the lazarus
    pit and then im risen
    like phoenixes in prison burn these bars into some ashes
    i kiln it, i prep it, the shatter looks so reckless
    man the wishes wasted
    amazing how far we've come since basics
    courageous confidence is often laced with
    common sense and greatNESS
    the NES was basic
    i playing at my station
    then switch it over to playstation
    persuasive
    lost inside the matrix
    congratulations
    you made it
    now salvage what you can and
    enter at your own risk
    own it but dont show it
    its dangerous like poems written in the AM
    fighting feeling fainted
    vagrant vagabond nuances
    hidden from the patents
    the parents
    that stamp aint washing off no matter how much i submerge it
    might as well detach my wrist like i was whipping
    i love whippets

    beauty:
    Ill drop a bean in my actavis
    Start rapping drink lean laugh a bit
    dissolve the s--- and let it bubble up
    like alcaseltzer got a double cup
    im on an acid trip naw actually
    im acting ripped cause lifes a b----
    i got ice that sits on my neckless
    start heckling your next of kin
    like hey lil sis lets start a binge
    the starter kit like socrates
    includes philosophies from fallacies
    f--- factuality im on a battery
    thats basically reached capacity
    i need a axe to swing switch accents quick
    i can rap and s--- so i do it with
    the dedication of a dead beat relationship
    i dont give a s--- its just something with
    some substance i can substitute with my own s---
    im on that binge with your lil sis and she liking it she's on my team
    she's off a bean im on her heels like death her soul's been bet for meals
    i converted her and her love of pills
    for something real before I appeared
    and now she's dripping clear like morphine
    i make her wet like a warning
    s----s slippery im evolving
    global warming im melting
    on molly and everything
    is jolly she's everything im her dali
    like lama im so sorry
    so sorry she s--- me off like a loli
    pop that a--- on a harley
    she hardly need my calling
    she hardly needed her heart set on that shanty
    we f--- in shacks and shawty
    lovin the privacy partly
    and lovin the thrill of the darkness
    im often so auspicious i off set suspicions
    with good zen and good chi
    she might be my wifey
    we have wi fi but we dont ever use it
    she uses me and abuses me
    she a looney she tunin in
    she oo-wee she on speed
    she on top she top seed
    she top me she cocky
    i love it im lucky
    im lucky im lucky
    its greatness im hearing
    she moaning like a spirit
    she wails like a siren
    sighing im flying
    im finding whats timeless
    inside of my own zion
    high am i on nylon
    thats that sticky icky wicked quickly lick me split it quickly
    all this time i got it

    She pop the p---- for a real n-----
    I wanna dress her in hillfiger
    I ain't got the bills but I'll pay for it
    On layaway ay get a taste of this

    Im on one i want more
    i can't relax or find the time

    b------s in their drawers
    The withdrawal won't last too long

    Cause I'm off it, f--- the wagon
    Karma catch me if you can b----
    Before the brandy came hard candy

    i see the beauty it's truly beautiful who knew the truth was so true

    good looks my dude…i see ur a Travis scott fan so I'd check out track 4..it's a verse I wrote to the Skyfall beat but rather than use the same beat as scott and thugger (because they made that song so f---ing good) i spit it on a different but similar beat.

    preciate ur time :khaled2:

    edit: oh and track 2 > 1 in terms of danny brownness in my opinion hahah

    Just skimmed through the project, I wasn't feeling all of the tracks especially some of the slower ones tbh but I really liked the ones where you went all-out energetic like on Beauty. Like overall based on first listen I think the project was cool, and I think some tracks (again, like Beauty) show that you got a lot of potential.

    But fr, I can't stress enough how much I like Beauty. Like legit I'm bout to dl that song and put it in rotation with my New ATL playlist. s--- is muy fuego.

    good looks my dude!! Yeah the thing is I live with 3 of my friends and recording situations aren't always ideal. Plus I know I have to handle the mixing my self so it's never going to come out how I envision it, etc, so I lose motivation and put out half assed s--- a lot of the time - or s--- that has me clearly just trying to figure out a style.

    The first two tracks I did on this I recorded most recently when I was at home over break and had an open house - quick wake and break and then went all out..it was like a f---ing workout lol my fat a--- was sweatin and s---

    :whew:

    I'm glad you like it man..beauty is my favorite too. But I think below zero, sky fall, and geisha are all in the same vein - thats why they all start out the project. the last 3 tracks are sum different for a change of pace.

    even just gettin one more person that wouldn't usually find my music to peep this s--- makes this thread a success so praise Skippy da gawd

    Btw yo this is just a suggestion you do you but when I hear your s--- I can't help but think your voice would sound badass if you did it like f---s Given by Childish Gambino (

    Like around the 1: 00 minute mark he uses autotune to make his voice jump higher, but you kinda naturally did that in your songs. I just seen hear and then on some other thread that you been feeling around for styles and s--- and I thought I'd give my two cents, that's all. :emoji_wink:

    Preciate the advice homie Ill check it out when I have my laptop

    I really wish I could find a producer/engineer that knows how to work with my voice/even wants too haha - preferably in real life. Like one of my friends is very musically inclined but our tastes are so different that whenever we link up we end up just f---ing around and it goes no where.

    I just want an opportunity to create in a proper setting

    I personally enjoy doing the first two type of tracks more than anything else and also really believe it would sound the best (for those who like that style) if it was done a bit more professionally.

    As of now, i know the mix quality is awful for some and good for others but I can't lie - I think it works for tracks like he first two

    Can see where @FriedSchizophrenic is coming from but I guess you just gotta be into that style. Like I enjoy Danny Brown and Thugger, Chance all those weird voiced dudes, so I enjoyed the first two tracks the most. Like I agree on the Mic/Mixing needing to be better, but overall I feel like these songs succeeded at like, being a good stepping stone to reaching a kind of niche sound that's obv inspired by Young Thug, but still @Narsh 's because his energy/mic presence is different. Like when I listen to some of these songs its so spastic and energetic, like a Thug/Danny type song has never given me that Meek Mill/OG Maco type wildin' vibe but these songs did.

    I really appreciate this man, it's not often someone actually takes the time to listen to a underdeveloped artist like me and give feedback with an open mind. It's usually just very dismissive. But I promise at some point I'll perfect a sound of my own/I enjoy recording and release some higher quality s--- (recording wise)

    If not for a huge fan base, but just for you hahah

    not bad actually.:idk:
    i still need to listen to those last two tracks, but i feel like on some of these you could've adapted to the beat a little better. track 1 for example, i feel that you wanted to start off the tape with crazy energy but i don't think the beat asked for that. It was a busy beat and I kind of wanted to hear some more chill vocals to contrast it. idk that might just be me. only other thing i have to say is on track 5 (i think?) the thug influence almost sounds like biting. like it's hard to not compare you to him which isn't a good thing imo.
    Impressive overall tho just those couple things that jumped out at me on first listen.
