Hip-hop (rap) critique

[Brayden Taylor]

I got invited to record in a pretty professional studio from a friend of a friend and im really looking for outside critique . Thanks in advance

I'm also Canadian  (ontario)

love the flow and word play used, very well written , and delivery was crisp 

On my latest track posted on Soundcloud I was hesitant to say the least to remove my track in result of timing

Any tips on how to fit lyrics with the beat accordingly? 

Here is my track if interested: 

 

[Indra Surkijn]

Pretty professional studio? It doesn't sound really professional to me. Like you recorded from a cellphone. I know it's harsh, but i'm just being really honest and trying to give constructive feedback. 

Or this is a recording before you went to your friend's friend. 

Let's assume it is. 

 

So i def dig the beat! Hell yeah, oldschool baby. you rap nicely on beat, but i can hear that you run out of breath sometimes. Too many sylables at once. You got a good voice to. You know, a chill voice to listen to. Old skool vibes. Keep it up bro.

Thanks bro! Yeah I recorded this before hand on an iphone to put it out to get outside critiques . Yeah I was running out of breath haha good catch. But thanks for the input Indra really appreciate it

Everything is great except the production! You sound a little dry and in the back of the track.

LOL 😁

I'm not competent to critique the lyrics but the flow is very good and vivid. 

Like the early Nas' classics.

😉 👍

 

And the instrumental is similar too.

you got a great flow and lyrics id recommend going to a better studio tho as it doesn't highlight your talent with the right engineer theyl get your rap voice sounding on point and your good to go

I like your lyrics and flow, but it sounds almost like you're trying to keep up with the beat. Maybe that is the sound quality, and I would echo earlier comments about that. It is harder to hear your emotion come out when you are trying to catch the beat. You have the flow to keep up and the vocal annunciation and speed, but instead of catching the beat, play with your voice to try to make the beat catch you if that makes any sense.

Hey! I agree with Altair, it definitely has an early Nas vibe. Really good melody, really good rhythm and a very nice voice. Would be really cool to hear the mastered, studio version!
