Your vocal delivery here is the strongest I heard it. Lyrics always on point, and you sound refreshed here.

Beat is hard and nicely mixed, but a bit generic. My fault for not getting beats done quicker. Anyway I'm probably going in a boom bap direction for the most part so its nice to hear you over trap beats.

Might be the grittiest song I've heard from you. Not bad at all. Wish it was a little longer

2nd verse on the way :myman:

Much love and yeah I needed to switch it up, can't wait to hear what you've been working on though!

:whew:

"Ain't no architect flexing bout no bricks"

Bruh this is nice. The beat, the lyrics, the voice all fit. I'm gonna run this back. I like you over the boom bap but this seemed to have pulled a little something out of you too.

Been on a music hiatus for most of the year, getting back into it :ehh:

Lemme know what y'all think of this one, a little bit of a departure from what I typically do but interested to hear y'all opinions.



If the aim is to be a single, I'd simplify the hook, repeat it more often and move the song
into a more standard format.
As it stands now, I think it's off to get a great start !
Building/Up To Code idea is a cool thing to play with, I like it.

The bars were great but I almost feel like that middle verse was way too long yah know ?
The vocal effects, "Built for all that", and so on almost feel like ideas related to "buildings" and being "Built for conflict"
that could be removed from the hook and moved into another verse.

You could also potentially simplify the verses from 16 bars to 12 bars or 10 bars.

For references I'd use:







Again as a starting point, I think it's great.

The architecture and construction theme was dope, let you flip familiar subject matter in a creative way and bars was consistently nice and built on the concept (just realized the bad pun there before hitting post :snoop:). Your flow is on point throughout, appreciate your vocal approach on this just from the musical perspective

I think you onto something with the bars and verses. The beat gets the job done, makes you nod your head as a listener and lets you do your thing with the rhymes, not bad just kinda generic. The hook is the part I'd focus on reworking if you go back to the lab on this one, just didn't feel like it pulled me in and lived up to the strength of the verses and overall concept

:salute: man, keep doing your thing
