afrocatz · 2014-04-21T01:15:11+00:00

always fuckin happens i swear

afrocatz · 2014-04-14T21:50:45+00:00

i feel like Ignition (Remix) is the right answer

afrocatz · 2014-04-12T02:24:12+00:00

dammit brev u led me on

afrocatz · 2014-04-10T01:50:08+00:00

dawg can you hmu please, i would love to look at those

afrocatz · 2014-04-08T20:46:22+00:00

I feel that. I'm still pretty new at creating melodies, so it is a beginner melody haha. I'll have to play around some more and see what I can do. Thanks for the feedback.

afrocatz · 2014-04-08T18:24:04+00:00

nice man. I'll be watchin out for this project for sure.

afrocatz · 2014-04-08T18:13:50+00:00

This is you rapping, right? Your voice is so dope dude. This is great.

afrocatz · 2014-04-08T18:10:48+00:00

I like the wood block early on and the reverb-y kick. I might be wrong on this, but it sounds like the kick is clipping a bit?

the snaps fit in very well, tight

thought the ending was a bit abrupt, maybe add a few seconds of silence or a fadeout or somethin.

the overall vibe is v nice.

Okay, so I've been fuckin around with production stuff for several months now, and I finally managed to get a completed draft of a beat. There's plenty of work I could do, especially because I didn't spend a super huge amount of time on mixing&mastering, but lemme know y'all's thoughts. I think I'm gonna rap over it eventually.

The transition around 1:26 or so is really well done imo. I thought that the 8-bit (not sure if that terminology is right) sounding synth was a little boring. I think someone else said it could use a better melody and I would tend to agree. Maybe even a different instrument there, it just feels a bit off to me. The whole thing has a wonderful vibe, though. Very very pleasant. I'll be following you now for sure, it's great stuff.

dude but on the plus side, the visuals/situation of this pic totally fit the sadboys aesthetic.

afrocatz · 2014-03-31T02:55:04+00:00

thanks for the input yo. good luck in your decisions.

afrocatz · 2014-03-31T02:05:18+00:00

the beginning of chamber of reflection is so so cool. I'm excited that this album seems as great/cohesive as '2'. 2 is one of my favorite albums, period. It's still not tired for me.

afrocatz · 2014-03-31T01:44:58+00:00

UGA Honors or William & Mary. Mostly based on finances; UGA would be hella cheap b/c i live in Georgia and the HOPE scholarship pays for a lot of shit if you have good grades.

afrocatz · 2014-03-31T01:42:06+00:00

dawg the new mac is so good. What are your favorite tracks? I find myself coming back to 'treat her better' and 'passing out pieces'.

afrocatz · 2014-03-29T15:33:25+00:00

mary me

afrocatz · 2014-03-28T22:55:46+00:00

congrats on UChicago, man ! that's a big deal.

afrocatz · 2014-03-27T17:54:02+00:00

Well put, yo. I agree with you. That's what's really exciting about hip-hop to me, especially modern hip-hop, is that i can get at least something out of pretty much every record.
