not only does it sound better cuz of the equipment but it will also boos t ya confidence and make you wanna experience more in areas that you may have been reluctant to venture into previously...

Ennui. You have skill on the mic and your voice carries conviction with it. When people hear you, it's easy to listen because you sound passionate about what you're talking about. EQ your mids up a little to lift your voice off the beats some. Your rhymescheme is extra basic, usually 1-2 syls, and you add insult to injury with more than a few bar-couplets that don't lock, or flat out dont rhyme at all. Things like that, concious errors, erode the impression of your music. Some multis would be nice every once in a blue, just to breathe some variety into the tracks. I see you came a lonnnnnggg way since our last discussion about writing to fit your flow. Apparantly you do this at will, because on that shining armor track you made sure all the shit was on point and plainly put more attention into it than the others I listened to.

Your topics mostly consist of pseudo-emotional topics and songs which is great in small doses, not as a mainstay. People get tired of hearing others stack up their problems, it eventually interprets to "complaining". You can write to seemingly any topic, just something in the packaging. Where are your happy songs, don't you ever have good emotions you want to talk about? Lets hear about em! You have your own style, you just need to branch it out waaayy more man.

You're good at telling stories, and stories require long attention spans. Unfortunately for you, your peers (who are your target audience) have short attention spans. That inherently will make you less marketable. Make those types of tracks way fewer and way more far between. People want music that's easy to listen to as well, music where thy don't always have to give intense focus on what you're saying, they can just "hear" it and vibe to it too if they want. weave some tracks like this into your catalog and you'll see people who were luke-warm on your music will grow to like it, and those that 'liked' your music will grow to 'love' it. It makes you more well rounded, and also lets your tracks be heard in yet another frame of mind. And that = good.

erm

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/son...&songID=4059206

few verse previews from some other songs(havent had any vocal editing what so ever to them), but thats about it, i really need to get my arse into gear.

(I peeped the verse previews)

Leady, You'reEQ your mids and high up and your fice will light up when you hear the difference and the clarity in your voice. A well rounded emcee overall, you have variety and spontainety in your lyrics and in your flow. Your beat choices definitly echo the roots of Hip Hop as does your style. You got some punches that'll add light to your verses make listeners chuckle and smile.

The only thing I'd say is that your songs (the ones submitted) all have similar topics, b-boy type braggodocio topics. I mean, you're Leady the Hip Hop Junkie!! That's expected hahaha, and a wide array of topics would make you like...well..sorta like a white KRS. Some collabs with concept artists would blow you up in a big way and make their fans your fans. Marketability is proportionate to the markets you can reach. I tell you this because I know you have the knowledge, the ability, and the platform to apply it.

That's really it man, pick up those mids and highs at tad, and flex your mind muscle on different types of tracks, maybe a few abstract ones and you'd be a top shelf underground artist.

Sense, damn man, your quality sounds like a slice of ass-cake. That alone makes your marketability a goose egg since no consumer at any level wants to listen to poor quality music, no matter HOW good it is. It's a shame too since your voice has a harmony that that steaming shit log of a mic just can't capture. It backfires on you too because you can't groom the good habits that a voice like yours calls for. Your topics are nice man nice array, something for everybody, that's big. Your track "Dear Lord" is probbly the most entertaining "I'm down with god" track I've listenend to, mostly in how you approached it. Should have let ther instrumental ride out some more, the melody after a track like that makes a great runway for peoples thoughts about wht you said since anyone listening will reflect on their own experiences.

EQing helps any situation, so i suggest you read up on it (thread in this forum) and apply what's within to bring your stuff up. On that DKon diss, you sounded like you wrote it in a rush because it wasn't as fluid as the other tracks I heard. That applies for the delivery and for the flow, in some parts you mumble, and in others, it sounds like you're a victim of your own poor sylable conservation - factors that weren't prevelant on the other submissions. Don't drop your standards man, it always comes back to bite you.

Learn to EQ - and then apply it, then get a new mic, and you'll be sitting on a launch pad fueled by your lyrics and inate sense of creativity.


Pexx
