@DJ Excellence

Really digging this! I was actually thinking about asking you to do a 83 ou Taktika remix. Maybe something like "mon mic, mon 40 et mon blunt."

I remember watching French Kiss back in the day on Much and getting put on to some Quebec bangers.
Thank you. 83 was a dope crew; I don't think they're very active these days. I made a few 2Faces/Onze remixes some time ago.

To be honest, it's not great, that synth is all over the place seems very random and doesnt follow any pattern that you could get into. The part where the synth falls is pretty cool though. I can't see how anybody could rap to it. If you made the synth pattern a lot more coherent and not so random it would be a lot better IMO. Personally I'd replace that synth for something else, maybe keeping the part where it falls for the end of an 8 bar loop or even 16 before a hook comes in, reminds me of evil clowns. The drums are okay.
I like the lo-fi/chiptune-like sound and the random feel; it sounds surreal, fun, and ironic to me. Pleasant, but it sounds like a filler; nice, but not a track you put a lot of emphasis on, right? I also think this should be instrumental, but who knows? Maybe a rapper could say, I can!

Just released a new track, and these are beats, so it fits this place. It's an instrumental (I doubt it's good for rapping on it). How is it?

its a bop! I really like this one
Sorry, I'm making a mess. I replied to a response from 2GooD Productions, and now I'm not sure if you were notified. Anyway, I'm pasting my feedback here: I like the lo-fi/chiptune-like sound and the random feel; it sounds surreal, fun, and ironic to me. Pleasant, but it sounds like a filler; nice, but not a track you put a lot of emphasis on, right? I also think this should be instrumental, but who knows? Maybe a rapper could say, I can!

This is a cool remix. I had to re-familiarize myself with the source material as I wasn't really into Young Buck. I like it, but something I mentioned in the Beat This thread, that era of Aftermath/Shady/G-Unit was soo polished and almost over-produced, I kinda became indifferent to the sound. I like the remix giving it a new life so to speak.

Urban Music (?)
I really liked this! Very dope beat, love the vibe and the dynamic range of this. Well structured and arranged nicely. The changes in energy, levels, and even instrument choice keep this really interesting.

This is really dope. Again coming with that cinematic and epic instrumentation. Great melody and bounce. I probably would've saved this for a battle tbh. I say it all the time, but you have such a good sense of melody. More so, making simple melodies sound robust and complex. Dope!

@K-waz was busting my balls for having not finished/releasing this project - so I figured I'd throw it up here.

Collection about a 1.5 years of music. This was coming out of a long lofi/jazz phase. It still has some jazzy elements. All the guitar and bass was recorded by me. Apologies in advance for the mix...
