got three new hot joints... check it out....
Yo Thanks for bringing me up to #7 on the charts. I’m most def feeling the sax playing. That’s sick how you played three instruments just in that song. I really like the relaxing feel to “The first time ever I saw your face.” I also like the base line it gives the song a nice solid sound. Do what you do. Not many people are skilled enough to play that many instruments. In “Thana” you def got some skill on the clarinet. I love music so I really preciate what u do. The way you played those runs near the end the song was sick; hit every note quickly. I like the bouncy feel it had and the control over sound. Wow! It takes skill to get a sound like that. Last I listened to “chameleon” from the base line I could tell I would feel this joint. It has a real funky feeling to it and I really enjoyed hearing it. I voted thana and this hot. This was my fav tho’. Really like the congo’s that jumped in 2 ½ minutes in. It really starts to pick up after that. The sax improve was ill. I play the alto m
Hey what it do?, this ya boy beacon from Rapskallion records, asking you to check my new tracks. I’m not gonna waste your time BSing like so many other people are doing lately on this site. Straight up, if you listen to my song “Who You Side Wit”, “Dejavu”, or “That Real Hip-Hop” and leave me a message on the message board letting me know that you actually listened to my song, (don’t just say “you gotta nice flow, check out my tracks” I ain’t stupid enough to fall for that) I will listen to your whatever song you want me to and leave you a message with honest, real feedback. I’m just looking to improve even further, and the best way for me to do that is listening to your feedback. I’m more than willing to give my opinion and feedback to you in return. So, if you’re interested, check out my site and listen to the songs: “Who You Side Wit”, “Dejavu”, or “That Real Hip-Hop” and if you leave me feedback letting me know you did, I will do the same for you. God Bless and One Love, beacon.
