Majilla "Down For You" Single Review




Watch the Video Review Here!

     Early last week, I received an email from an individual asking to check out an artist, and he presented me with the artist's latest single for my review. I was honored to be asked to do it, because I'm not a big voice of the media, YouTube, Blogosphere, etc. So I appreciate someone watching my channel, or reading my thoughts here. So of course, I obliged.
     The artist's name is Majilla, and she's an artist from Akron, Ohio. She's a very mysterious artist, as there aren't any pictures to be found of her, which shows her face or anything about her physical appearance. This is cool to me, as that makes things strictly about the music, similar to one of my favorite artists of all-time, MF DOOM. So with the appearance factor out of the way, what do we have to focus on and love about this artist? Simple, her voice. And while the song features autotune assisting her vocals, it sounds to me as if she can actually sing without it.
     Let's speak for a second about the Autotune. The reason I don't like it in it's modern day use, is because most people who use it aren't talented and really need the vocal assistance. And even with the assistance, it still sounds absolutely horrible. There are artists such as T-Pain, Bryson Tiller, and even Kanye West at times, who I feel use the Autotune correctly and make it enjoyable to hear, as it just blends in with the music. With all that being said, I'd like to add Majilla's sound into the later discussion. While she uses the autotune, it doesn't sound annoying, it doesn't sound horrible at all, and after the initial moments of hearing it, to me, it fades away into the background music, which is awesome. I truly believe that Majilla can sing without it, if necessary and hope that in the future she does so.
     As for the song itself, it has a very similar, Trap Soul, Bryson Tiller sound to it. This is a song that I could easily hear in the middle of his album. This isn't a knock on her or the sound she chose to go with, it's actually more of a compliment. That sound is great and is very popular in music these days. This song, with the right promotion, could easily be played on the radio. At least in my opinion. It is a love song, basically with Majilla describing how she feels for her love interest. She describes how good the sex they have is, how good they treat each other, and how she'd always be down for that person. It's a great story, and one that I feel that anyone could relate to, not to mention that the story is told well.
     In the end, I would definitely recommend this song to listen to. Very nice beat with a great story told to the rhythm. If you're interested, you can make sure to find her on Soundcloud, YouTube, and Facebook. Hopefully, we'll hear more from her in the future, in the sense of a full length album. Anyway, thanks for reading if you're here. If you enjoyed this, give it a like, and share it, and I'll holler at you all in the next review. Peace.

Rittz - Top of the Line Album Review!

Image
    Watch the Video Review here! This has probably been the hardest review I’ve had to write. Upon first listen of Top of the Line, Rittz’s 3rd official album on Tech N9ne’s Strange Music record label, I said to myself, “Holy shit, this is going to be my first 5 star album review! That was amazing!” I usually try not to form too much of an opinion about a project until I’ve listened to it a few times, but after just one listen, I already knew this one was special. Every emotion that you can feel while listening to an album are present here, and that’s often not the case. Rittz even managed to have me a bit emotional at the end of the album (more on that later.) There is not a single bad song throughout this entire project. Not one! This is also very rare, especially over the course of 24 songs. But the real question I’ve been asking myself all week, and even still now is, is this album really a 5 star album? I’ve spent the past week listening to TOTL trying to co

Krizz Kaliko - Go Album Review

Watch the Video Review here! Right from the jump here, I want to say that I like Krizz Kaliko’s music. When I first was coming across the Strange Music camp, I felt as if Kaliko was a Spliff Starr type of dude, meaning he was more of a sidekick or hype man for Tech N9ne instead of a very well talented artist himself. Once I got further into Strange Music, I realized this guy can really spit pretty much as good as anybody on the roster. But, I’ve always felt that he was similar to Cee-Lo Green. Sure, the guy can rap, and rap better than most rappers in the game. But, I’ve always felt like his singing is what would make him a star. I’ve always really like Kaliko singing more than his rapping. And on his latest album, Go, Krizz Kaliko gives us a lot more of that singing that I feel he’s so great at, and the album is better off because of it. The album starts off with an introduction from a motherly voice talking to Krizz and pretty much setting us up for what’s to come the

A Look Back at 2018!

2018......... Whew..... Where do I begin? Let's get the bad out the way first. 2018 has been the worst year of my work career, which says a lot because in the past 12 years, I've had two other times where I thought, "It doesn't get any worse than this!".... I was wrong.... It does..... It's been like a long running bad joke with no punchline.... Like no ending!! Just trash!!! Throw the whole work year away!! 👆🏿Has led to some Mental health issues. At some points of the year, I didn't know if I'd even have a career to end the year! Each time I thought things were improving, I'd get kicked in the dick and brought back to the reality of suck again. 🤷🏿‍♂️ The song I wrote called, " I'm Fine ," was real! And about me! Family: We lost one to start the year with the passing of my step-mother. Terrible way to begin the year. My father is Superman in my eyes, and it was tough, yet understandable, to see Superman in a weakene
