Don't Sign Me (Intro)- Probably my favorite song on the album. I love the way you attacked it. The rhymes are great. Don't really like the end of the hook though. It annoys me for some reason

Still T.C- At first I hated the beat but once your verse kicked in the song was insane. Your flow, delivery and rhymes were great. Lyrically solid. Great track

Demons-Diss to Strict Ame? It's a good track. I don't like it as much as the first two but not all tracks can be like that on an album.

Delusions of Grandeur- Alright track. I don't really like the mainstream feal to it. I hated the verses by M-Russ, he held the song down. You did good

Hustle to Survive- Great song, i love the hook. Your verses are great too, lyrics and all that were really good. Jae Rock held it down though, I didn't like him.

Succesful- Not really feeling this track, I recognize that songs like this are essential to an album but I didn't feel the emotion in your voice.The song didn't feel real to me.

This Is Me- Chorus is alright. The song is good. I like it alot better then the last one.

Just another day- Great song, probably your best emotional song. I loved the beat and your chorus. The verses were great and really relatable.

Press On- I think i already fed this but it's growing on me. I like it

I love you- ehhhh, I really don't like this song. I'm not feeling the hook at all. It sounds wack as fuck.Verses are alright.

Drain Me Dry- One of the best songs on the album. I love the emotion and anger in your voice. Almost everything was perfect. The only thing i didn't like was the quality sounded weird for some reason. Maybe the mixing, idk

I'm alwaus-Your verse is great, I really liked it but B-Don was horrible. Get better guest spots :angry:

City Is Mine- Only song I wasn't feeling. Your flow didn't seem like it fit to the beat at all and the beat was way to loud. Your verse was alright. Guest spots are ehh

Lights Out- I love this ong, great way to end the album. Love the style of it. Probably my second favorite song on the album. Stacks makes me almost want to delete the song though. He's that bad

Overall-Best tape i've ever heard on TR. You did great, would have been much better with some better guest spots.
You think your personal attacks make up for what you lack?

Aight I just heard it. Not gonna leave a big review cause I'll be repeating myself so I'm gonna keep it somewhat understandable...

Flaws:

- The vocals are really low on some tracks and just low on the majority of the tracks so it made it hard to understand everything. If you had turned up the vocals by like 2 db's then it would of made it easier to understand it all.

- 'Still T.C' is distorted, should have put the beat down before you mastered the vocals with it, cause it only made it sound louder...

- On 'Demons' you messed up on the hook towards the end. You said barrels instead of battles on the second verse. You should step closer to the microphone so your speech becomes a little more clearer, but be careful you can distort your vocals easily.

- Songs like 'City Is Mine' & 'Successful' you didn't need. It just sounded way too average and I didn't see anything Tom Chambers about those tracks. It's the kind of tracks a lot of rappers will have on there mixtapes now a days and that's what I dislike about it. Very predictable.

- Bad guest appearances. I don't know if I've told you before but M-Russ sounds like George Bush rapping, just has a very funny delivery. Except for B-Don his listenable and Official Jae Rock, dudes dope.

Favourite tracks by order:

1. Hustle To Survive (both versions) - A-fucking-mazing. The hook is fucking dope as fuck. Your flow is untouchable on this track. And Jae Rock's verse was dope as a motherfucker. I love this track. It just outshines the whole album, crazy fucking beat.

2. Just Another Day - Beautiful beat. Love how you put this track after 'This Is Me' cause it worked out real nice and it made it sound better somehow.

3. Demons - Hook is great (except for that little slip up but fuck it, the rest is dope). Dope track.

4. This Is Me - Another great track.

5. I'm Always ft. B-Don - Dope collab. Who made the beat? It's dope.

Yep I guess that's it, those are my favourite tracks. Great tape bro just work on those flaws I mentioned which aren't much anyways, so great fucking work homie. I'd listen to this album again no problem, it was put together great and I liked the skits lol. Reminds me of Masta Ace's Long Hot Summer. You show a lot of your influences in your rhymes, and its good because a style needs a few styles to be unique. Peace out.

i've been waiting for this shit... lmao

first off ur flow has improved greatly, and ur delivery's much better than super chambers... not going to try and make this super long.

stand outs

This is Me (favorite)- very personal, u made some sick rhymes out of personal shit. personal shit's always sick. great job with this.

Just Another Day - good emotion and flow. love the beat on this. ur vocals were a little low at points. nice chorus.

Hustle to Survive- great track, great energy on this one. the feature was good on this.


Comments- ur vocals are low at some points on the album, but the overall sound was improvement in flow and presence. really liked the album. the standouts really made this greater, cuz some of the other tracks, like city is mine felt a little unnecessary. the album's replayable, and i can't wait to hear more music from u man. just keep it up, ur improving with every song u do.
