    i agree there's definitely improvements you can make, but i think a lot of it is just in the mixing/mastering--it really makes all the difference in the world if you're lucky enough to find somebody who really knows how to mix properly.

    i could help, but it's hard to work on a style of music that isn't always my favorite

    but there are plenty of people here like LasiK and Creation, and I'm sure others, who could help out.

    i know it's never been your particular thing to do, and you're just doing it for fun... but i think you would benefit greatly from a more professional approach to things like this. i'm not saying i'm the best example, and i'm not trying to say i'm amazing or anything because of it, but I take my time with s---, i comb over my music for hours and hours and fix mistakes and cut what i can't fix, i try to get the best mix/master i can, take feedback on that stuff when i can, even reach out to other people to help with mixing/mastering when necessary... and it all really helps.

    trust me, get someone else involved if you can't do it yourself and try for a more professional approach. i promise not only will the response be better, but you'll feel better about what you're putting out. try it for at least one project, even if it's just a small 3 song EP or something.

    yeah this is mainly why i dont reach out to you haha. its not a personal thing, its just a better vibe when everyones on the same page.

    lasik is always busy with his own s---, creation is never around. there really aren't THAT many options lol.

    i definitely took a closer look at the s--- this time around, but this is still the best i can do ay this point. i definitely get what you're saying though.

    for sure. that's why im excited to work with bleed, since he'll be handling the final product

    "Mazes" has always been an interesting track, the beat is rather convoluded but in a good way, it's mysterious; sounds like the track to a thriller movie where the guy is being chased. As for the rhymes, it seems like you branch out your own style here and it's distinctive. The lyrics aren't usual for the trap genre but that's good, the vocal inflictions make this track fun and the way you rap is very, very original.

    Keep up the good work! @Narsh

    Not all, but when you're on a forum full of producers, there's bound to be some that can

    Ayy thanks man. The hook and the 2nd verse are my favorite parts, I should've worked on the first one more tho :wow2:

    I always just write like 25% of a song and then freestyle the rest. I need to up that to like at least 50% lmao

    4. New York (Yung Slug)

    One of the first tracks I finished for this project, and one of my favorites. Produced by the guy that did my entire last tape (u s e em s a d) and the intro to CCV2. part of the reason why i reuse some of the lyrics ive had on the tracks he's produced towards the end.
    Hook:
    I got a b---- and she straight from New Yorkx4

    We hop in the car never take it off park
    We f--- on the spot in the dark leavin marks
    f--- all the dogs all the ops all the narcs

    I got a b---- and she straight from New Yorkx2
    She prolly a model but we never talk
    I got a b---- and she straight from New York

    Verse 1:
    f--- out my face I ont kno bout the case
    I got a blunt and it's probably laced
    U wildin u trippin ur shoes never laced
    I'm smilin I'm thinkin I'll put u in place

    I sighin I'm wishin the times never changed
    I got a bih and she makes me feel safe
    But I kno that she kno that I'm not her mate
    She's searchin her soul for the gold to replace
    Me

    I'm poppin some bottles I'm feel like swayze
    Dirty the dancing Diana she made me

    Let go of my past I adapt like a baby
    We movin so fast for the ring like I'm sonic
    Got down on one knee I don't kno how she made me
    I see that she's wearin the latest I fainted

    My baby so pretty I never leave hickeys
    She got her an accent she listens to biggie
    I'm thinking I'm stuck in a dream I'm sedated
    She pinches me once and then giggles elated

    Verse 2:
    That b she fresh off my throat
    That b she wanna elope
    That b I bought her a rose
    That b she up like sum folg-ers

    Dabbin I'm doin a pose
    Stiff arm em if they comin clos-er
    What u mad at me mad at me for
    Ay

    That b shes fresh off the boat
    That Coke it's fresh off the boat
    That throat she's fresh from New York
    That throat is fresh from New York

    I swear to god I don't know why you're so mad at me
    I swear to god I can change if you're still asking me
    I swear to god I just...wanna be normal
    I swear to god that....ill really be cordial

    I swear to god that I'll still love you tomorrow

    Ay I'm mad they don't want me no more
    I'm sad and confused by my flaws
    They boxin me in by the ropes
    I'm Marley on Molly and more
    They don't want me no more

    New York is an awesome track. I especially like the bell on the song and the melodic background synth; reminds me of old Boston R&B from the 90's. It actually suits the sound you're trying to go for. As for the lyrics, it's nice that you pave your own style instead of doing the drug lifestyle. These abstract lyrics about love are really, really good. The more I listen to this project, the more I like it even more. Need to check out CCV2 as his production is incredible, god like even.
