Good stuff, man. I like the wu tang style flow.

Really like the beat and the production. Delivery is a little too earnest for my tastes, and the flow is a little stilted, like you're trying to keep up with the beat sometimes (or sometimes like you're stalling to let the beat catch up with you). But not bad for a first single.

Really nice effort. I'm not a big contemporary hip-hop fan so take this with a grain of salt, but some of your verses seemed a little stretched and they bogged down a bit. Came across a little 1 note, could have benefited from some contrast in the delivery, imo. Good job though, announce if you do something live around KC.

Thanks, man!

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the feedback!

I liked it other than the asian fiddle.. your style seems more like a lyrical poet.

Thank you.

Album is available for free download now, if any of you guys are interested.

Giving it a listen right now.

Anyway, I'm enjoying the album.

Since I guess it's obligatory to give constructive feedback: my suggestion would be to vary your flow/tone a little more. You can definitely rap, but I'd like to hear a different mood than angry white guy (especially because a lot of your message is positive).

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you're enjoying it.

I like the lyrical content, and I think you are probably pretty marketable in the positive hip hop community. Are you trying to be overtly a "Christian" hip hop artist?

I am definitely a Christian, and I just write what's on my mind. I try to make real, honest hip-hop.
