CAN YOU ELABORATE
ON THIS PART?

:devil:
:evil:


Yeah I wanted to wait til I got back in car to listen again on those speaker

You know me and let me live are examples of songs where the beat compliments the rapping very well. You can listen without being laser focused and still appreciate the rapping from all aspects

On some other songs the beats are overpowering. You can see that the flow is top notch, but I was really having to zone in to pay attention the bars

If you’re a lyricist you don’t want that. That’s for the rappers who ain’t saying shyt and don’t really want you to notice

CARE ABOUT VIBING TO THE BEAT
BECAUSE I KNOW nikkaS
LIKE YOU WHO LISTEN

The lyrics and flow are on point. I appreciate your dedication to still doing hooks and THREE verses on some songs. Seems like a lost art.

The production isn't my style so I echo what @NormanConnors said, I'd like to hear you over some different production.

Super dope.. Bizzy also brought his A game and don’t sound like he phoned it in. Curious to know what it felt like to rap on that level and then get that level of respect back by getting top notch verses from legends

IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE.

WHEN I WAS IN SOUTH AFRICA
RIGHT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HIT
I HAD GANGSTA BOO "INQUIRING MINDS" ON REPEAT THE WHOLE TRIP
SO I WROTE THAT SONG WITH
HER IN MIND.

TO ACTUALLY MAKE IT
COME TO FRUITION WAS CRAZY.

SAME WITH BIZZY...
WHEN I MADE THE BEAT
FOR YOU KNOW ME
I THOUGHT BIZZY WOULD
BE GREAT OVER THAT.

THEN HE DROPPED THE MANTRA
AND WAS AS SHARP AS EVER.

I GOT IN TOUCH WITH
HIS MANAGMENT THE DAY
AFTER I HEARD IT.

TRUE BUCKET LIST shyt.

ME AND THE HOMIE @spliz
WERE SUPPOSED TO KNOCK
SOMETHING OUT 12 YRS AGO.
I ALWAYS RESPECTED HIS PEN GAME
SO WHEN WE FINALLY GOT IT DONE
I KNEW IT WOULD BE A CLASSIC.
