Can you give me a download link for that?

It's just Week 1 through 8 on my YouTube channel.

Personal Army, Dead To me, Chasing Not A Shadow, etc.

Do you have audio files?

You can DL them from my Reverb. Link's in my signature.

Yeah, don't give up, dude.

Yeah, don't give up.

Shit happens.

I'm not giving up.

Good.

I actually just got done writing a new track... tightening up my flow/rhymes coupled with a strong delivery.

I hope this next one will be hit outta the ballpark.

Sounds good; drop it here when it's done.

I want it perfect; probably won't be released until mid-December.

Sounds good!

I think it'll be a Thomas Swanson production.

He's back as well. We're good now.

Good to hear.

1. Vendetta (Intro)

I'm not really feeling the double-time here.

I guess it wasn't completely horrible.

Pretty good rhyming and content.

2. This Time

This track starts off a bit shaky but it gets better as the track progresses.

Not bad.

3. Step One

I like this track.

I'm feeling the content and flow.

One thing I really like is the flow.
It fits you well.

You sound like you are suppressing your voice, though.
Try to raise your voice a bit and keep it consistent and at the same intensity.

That's all you need to do, really.


4. In This Moment

Not bad.

Cool lyrics; very emotional.

I noticed you go off beat a little bit and rap too slow or too fast.
You fuck up at 0:25, 0:33-0:35, 1:52-1:56 and 3:08.

Not a serious issue, but, it ruins the song for me.

5. Personal Army (Feat. Precision)

Now this is hip-hop.
Love the atmosphere and energy.

Precision is really boring; I dunno; I just wasn't feeling it.

He drones on and on and on, you know?

Not bad, but could be a lot better.]
I liked your verses, Eedee.

6. Stick It To Your Sister (Feat. Beefy Wang)

I find this song really hard to take seriously.
Well, clever rhyming and punchlines.

7. Close The Book (Feat. Precision & Mike Murdoch)

The hook is ok.

The first verse is pretty bad, I won't lie.
Nothing against whoever that was, but, it wasn't really that good.

Loved your verse, Eedee.

The third verse was ok, but, the dude's voice sounds really monotonous.

8. Find My Way

Here we go, BANG.

Wait, what?

You sound really bored...
The hook was ok.

I liked the second verse.

The third verse was pretty cool, too.

9. Won't Stop

Cool hook.

Not much to say.

Solid song.

10. Not Perfect (Feat. TripleNineThree)

Ok, I won't lie; this is on-par with professional quality.
Triple did a brilliant job mixing.

Loved the overall message and the content of the lyrics.

11. Without You I'm Nothing Freestyle
Pretty cool.

12. Everything We Do (Feat. Mike Murdoch)

Not a fan of the hook.

Nothing much to say; good verses.

13. Headed For The Light

This is pretty fucking cool.
Loved the aggression.

14. The Road Ahead (Feat. Precision & Mike Murdoch)

Cool verses.

The hook sounds a bit, eh.
Not bad.

15. Slowly Dead

Wicked track right here.
I was really feeling this one.

16. Glass House

This was pretty fucking good.

The mixing was a lot better than most of the other songs; but, the vocals are are slightly too loud.

Good shit.

Overall, good drop.

Can't say that I'm blown away overall.

There's some awesome songs on the tape, though.

Keep it up!

Thanks for the feed.

No problem.

If you have anymore new music, feel free to post it here.

I always do.

But, I won't have any for at least 2-3 weeks.

I decided to write a review, too.

Worth A Listen (67%)

From the obscure corner of the internet comes a young rapper by the stage name of Eedee.
When you think about how many rappers started out, they mostly started out really badly.
They used those old 4 tracks and recorded demos in their basements.

Now, in this age of computers and ridiculously easily obtained recording gear, it's clear that hip-hop is not dead anywhere.

From the outskirts of Alaska rises hot potential from the dying Alaskan
hip-hop scene; it is clear that this release is Eedee's best to date;
although, it is not without it's flaws.

This release appropriately titled, Lights Out, is a prime example of this young man's talent.
This half mixtape half album is a roller coaster of emotions and moods.

Such emotional and psychological stress is present in this tape; the
vastness of dark lyrics and intricate rhyming structures only amplify
the intensity and sheer heaviness of this tape.

The other rappers on this release are also talented but they need a bit of work.

Although this release does not have that professional quality, it still managed to
show everyone that this Eedee is not playing games anymore.

The highlight of the album is the duet of 2 individuals in the song Not Perfect.
They both give 2 completely different opinions about religion and it really makes you think.
The professional mixing work from Triple really makes this track the best on the album as it sounds lush and warm.

Such dark ballads such as Glass House expose the turmoil and inner demons
this young rapper is coming to grips with and trying to destroy
mentally.

When people hear an album, they either focus on quality or talent.

It is clear that there is a huge pool of talent present on this album.

The sub-par quality is only a minor thing to me; when I listen to the
lyrics it really makes me realize that there is a monster waiting to be
awakened; there is lyrical prowess that hip-hop hasn't seen for a long
time.

Mainstream America may toss this project aside as
unlistenable and cringe-worthy; but, I see it as a light of hope in a
dying underground hip-hop scene dominated by egotistical assholes and
pretentious pricks.

There's no denying the sheer genius of the
lyrics; I had to listen to certain lines many times to figue out the
poetic elements hidden in them.

If you're a curious hip-hop head wanting to listen to some raw rappers, I'd definitely check this kid out and this release.

^ That's awesome, dude. I appreciate the good words!

Is that going on any other website besides this one?

Up to you, you wrote it. I just appreciate the good looks.

K.

You should've seen Precision's face when he read that review haha. Priceless.

The who in the what now?

Precision; my friend who featured on the mixtape.

He gets excited over things very easily and he read your review haha
