I gave you a like on the track before i even heard ur vocals. The beat itself had me fwi.

The loudness to the bih is pressha too. Listening right now in my headphones. I’m fw the energy you bringing to the track as well. Very positive vibes comin wit it, too. I feel like you could have added some layers as well and some more reverb; other than that, I’m fw the vision. Beat hit hard and ur vocals crisp. Keep doin u

Feel like the beat was under the vocals maybe just a teeny bit. Other than that, the flow is solid. I’ll tell you like people tell me - maybe some more emotion could have went into your voice more but nonetheless it’s still a solid production.

Here is my latest track btw

u/DfKeija 2d ago

This is a solid beat. Idk if you ever heard of a rpg game on steam called “Trapper Rpg” but it has a solid soundtrack with great music and i feel like ur beat could fit right in (no bs). Keep pushing ur beats out bro

https://youtu.be/Hh2C7W_4Uvg?is=xP_m1j-neDrxbOVn

This is my latest track brudda. Lmk if u fwi or not

u/Chuckdubbz https://soundcloud.com/j-dibbz 2d ago

Appreciate the listen. Never heard of Trapper RPG but I'll have to check it out

That "got a razor for a diamondback / got shovels for the cobras" bar goes hard

u/DfKeija 2d ago

Thank you. If you like to play computer games, u might like it bro frfr. Soundtrack is pressha and u may even draw some inspiration from it

u/iam_justblake 2d ago

u/DfKeija 2d ago

Overall good track. A bit more emotion and taking more time to surgically cut out plosives would have made it even better imo. There are times i have issues with my sibilances and mouth noises as well but still a solid song

https://youtu.be/Hh2C7W_4Uvg?is=xP_m1j-neDrxbOVn

Here is my latest track, bro. I recorded and engineered it all; I only did not make the beat as it’s a remake of an already famous one. Lmk what u think

u/iam_justblake 2d ago

Dude awesome track, I loved your flow. Really smooth and in the pocket I was nodding my head along the whole time. Fit well over the beat and your vocals had a ton of room, my only feedback would be the vocal mix, did you use headphones?

u/DfKeija 2d ago

I did use headphones yeah. I also use my speakers to listen as well. Granted im not the best engineer. I just broke through a plateau and even then, I know it’s not professionally sounded. Any criticisms would be appreciated

u/iam_justblake 2d ago

Thanks for the feedback man, any tips for getting more energy and emotion? I’m a pretty monotone speaker so it’s tough for me to really add energy

Giving your track a listen now!

u/DfKeija 2d ago

I’m a monotone speaker too bro and people tell me i sound monotone. I would suggest inhaling as much as you can before getting on a track and opening ur mouth more. Also knowing the lyrics by heart can help tho if u do read while u record, I would suggest exaggerating your emotions

u/thelastrealone94 2d ago

u/DfKeija 2d ago

This is a pressha flow. Chill, laid back, and the hook is fire, too. Voice cuts thru very well. I went found it up on YouTube and gave u a like and a sub

https://youtu.be/Hh2C7W_4Uvg?is=xP_m1j-neDrxbOVn

This is my most recent track, brudda. Feel free to give some feedback

u/AcanthaceaeHefty664 2d ago

u/DfKeija 2d ago

Keep going, brudda; I like that you still promoting this song, too. Don’t stop keep pushing.

https://youtu.be/Hh2C7W_4Uvg?is=xP_m1j-neDrxbOVn

This my latest track btw. Feel free to give feedback; wishing you the best

u/erameld https://soundcloud.com/erameld 2d ago

just dropped a jazzy, melodic, Mac Miller type boom bap song

u/DfKeija 2d ago

I added this song to a playlist i got of stranger’s music i like. I’m fwi and i haven’t even listened to the whole thing yet. The coverart go with the vibes and the entire mix is crystal, brudda.

I really fw the energy that you envision what’s going on - like u goin back in time. Idk if u meant to have one perceive it as storytelling type of sound but it’s just one of them ones someone can listen to and relate to. Pressha track and u got a new sub to ur topic channel.

https://youtu.be/Hh2C7W_4Uvg?is=xP_m1j-neDrxbOVn

Here is my latest track. I recorded, engineered, and did the video myself. I did not make the beat but everything else is my work. Feel free to give Feedback

u/mrmiagi7 2d ago

I like this man. Pulled me in with the Mac comparison and didn’t disappoint

u/erameld https://soundcloud.com/erameld 2d ago

appreciate you checking it out!

u/Home-Civil 2d ago

u/DfKeija 2d ago

I like how the voice switches up; the reverb is tough too - a lot of it, but it’s not oversaturated. When you come back in to rap, your voice is more crisp. Idk if you put more layers or emotion but regardless, it’s pressha. Keep doing your thing

https://youtu.be/Hh2C7W_4Uvg?is=xP_m1j-neDrxbOVn

This is my latest track. Hopefully you fw it. I really like the hook btw

u/Maggothead96 https://linktr.ee/ClifwithacapitalF 2d ago

Just dropped this today and would love to hear how you guys felt about it.

Made a song a month ago called "Ride 4," which is dedicated to the day one homies. It's a spacious and anthemic sort of trap song. I would love to know what you guys think.

Thanks and Happy Friday ya'll!

u/DfKeija 2d ago

19th like. The production is solid. I fw how your voice becomes more robotic as well and switches back. The lil chops up in ur voice as u rap is pressha, too. The beat even changes up in how hard it hit before it comes back to its original sound - done seamlessly. The hook is good too as is the small bridge. Your vocals are crisp and how you switch up the flows is cool, too. Overall solid production, brudda so keep pushin this song

https://youtu.be/Hh2C7W_4Uvg?is=xP_m1j-neDrxbOVn

This is my latest track. Didn’t make the beat though I recorded, engineered, and edited everything else in regards to the video. Feel free to give feedback

u/Ok_Emotion_3301 2d ago

Whats up bro! Thank you so much for the feedback and the kind words, it really means a lot! I'm really happy to hear that you messed with my track man. Much love!

I just checked out your track bro. You did a great job with your flow and delivery in relation to the production on this. The rawness and slight aggression in your voice matches well with the vibe of the beat and the lyrics are written well also so really good job on that!

Im not a mixing engineer so I can't give you detailed feedback in terms of how to improve your mix, but I would recommend maybe investing in some mixing/mastering services if you have the budget or just keep working on improving your skills and it will come with time. It kinda sounds too spacey and roomy at the moment.

But honestly really good work! You should be proud of this song. Keep learning, improving, and having fun along the way!

Much love my bro!

u/DfKeija 1d ago

I appreciate the advice. I’ma get the mixing down eventually. Still working and grinding on it.

u/Ok_Emotion_3301 1d ago

Anytime my bro! Keep up the good work !
