[Masquerade]

this dope, me like drum, drum go hard, hard like rock. Cactus cat come. Careful Josie, furious fire fighting from Frelindand of Forianstopia. Far out. In the midst of this intriguing dilemma, we believe it to be true even though, perchance it is not quite an anti-falacy, yet. It is important non the less to listen to sick beats on the regular. So for this, I thank the gods, grace the heavens, and bless the earthly beasts. Conquer wretchedness and find the golden apricot; nestled in thy blossom, betwixt it is. but no, don't touch it, just feel the vibe and touch yourself and molest your spirit (to a comfortable level of exposure). Don't stop. Oh Daniel, keep the fire going and find the element to collaspe within the core principles of this practically infinite loop of perpetual wonderment and awe. The spectacle. unflappable, the magic, unfathomable, the power, untapped. Bratttaatttaattat. KEep up.

[Ferris Wheel (Attempt 1)]

Diggin this mix. The overlayed vocals make the repetitiveness of fairly familiar phonetic flabs fabricated for Ferrish Wheels and ferris wheels accessories seem more intentionally satirical. The shifting tones in the track are intriguing; this is good, but it can also make it difficult to interpret which bars are meant to be deep and which are the whimsical lyrical wizard styles. Beat reminds me so much of Crono Trigger; not sure if Vash samples, but either way, dope. Very creative song here.

Teqneek responds:

Thanks Mickey. Yeah- rough draft. And I'll record and upload the finished version eventually. I just wanted to drop this first because I like it and I'm impatient.

[Playing Yourself (Like Accordion)]

Dope composition here. Good instrumental choices; everything meshed well together. I particularly enjoyed the touch on the vocal samples. Trippy lil beat here.

["Nowhere To Run" Instrumental]

Post Era Spaghetti western, set in along a coastline somewhere slightly tropical OR a reboot of a Tarantino film, but done with respect and honor, by an A.I director-bot (that has been specifically designed to direct a cinematic masterpiece--bot also has an implanted soul, so it's all good). Plot; probably something to do with something stolen, and going to retrieve it, with a vengeance. Characters: band of brothers styles; a bunch a bro die, spoiler alert. McGuffin: magic shoes, magic ring, power staff or magic bullet.

Basically, this is a dope beat.

haha exactly what i was going for

[I Rob People (feat. Sky)]

I love all the references in this, holy moly Batman there's tonnes of em! I liked the way Teq ends his 1st verse and starts the 3rd with that "rob" emphasis word play. The transition verses between Teq and Sky was executed very nicely. Sky's more grimy verse was juxtaposed well with Teq's hyperbolic whacky bars.However, I don't think this was Sky's best outing on the lyric side of things; there were a few dope bars, but a lot of it sounded a bit generic. Teqneek's flow was a bit rushed at points and the delivery fell off on some bars with a higher count of syllables. That, mixed with quiet vocals, made a lot of the bars inaudible; which means all those dope references would be lost if the lyrics were not posted. Really liked this beat; Axtekk really kills it with those funky computer horn things!

Dope track all together though. Has a sick old school feel to it.

Teqneek responds:

Thanks Mickey. I think I'll go ahead and make some adjustments tomorrow and re-up this track (or, replace the audio file I mean.) heeding you and Fats' advise. -Brrrrrrr-

[Calling (Prod. Chris Wheeler)]

This goes hard, really digging the emphasis on the multi schemes and all the imagery in this. A few bars felt a a bit contrived/stretch too much for lyrical purposes rather than content "ex: cloning now/Colin Powell". Overall though, sick sick sick bars and the rhymes, DAMN! Mixing is crisp, I enjoy the lack of obvious dubs; singular voice presentation works very well for this track...well.. maybe the hook could use a lil more touch, idk. Beat is fyah. Dope song for just a hip hop track .

SkyFromD-Squad responds:

Thanks buddy

[Dark Days]

Axtekk's beat so good!!!

Really good song here. Even with the quite dynamic and awesomeness of this beat, the mixing of the vocals was very audible and on point throughout. Lyrics are solid and have a very heart broken poets vibe to them. The transition from the verse to hook was executed very well on each verse. Definitely one of the best deliveries I've heard from ya; your voice really hits the right emphasis to make the lyrics really sink in. Ironically enough, I think a "depressing" song like this, may just help someone who's feeling down; so a feel good song it very might well be!

Props and keep up bro

Teqneek responds:

Wow Mickey, regarding your closing comment there... I just got done about 2 hours ago explaining to my mom almost word for word what you just said. Haha that's crazy. Anyway thanks for the input man, you my most improved friend 2016

[BJ - Muddy Waters]

so much grunge! dope instruments here, really digging the assemble in this. The slight tone change 3/4 in so hella noice! digging this unusual Bojangle's beat :P

[Kwing vs Aggy Black]

Kwing- Awesome beat. Flowed very on point with it. Content seemed very relevant with a good mix of hard metaphors, personals and tight schemes. Diverse angles. Some of the filler rhymes "harpoon", a bit forced.
Agga Black- Dope lyrics. Punchlines were set up nicely. Intro left much to be desired, "cove?, a place you hide in.." Bars were solid though. Flow on some of the bigger multis was bit rushed in s couple spots.

Gotta give it to Kwing. Both Mcs had solid verses. Kwing's verse locked on target, while Aggy's didn't hit direct until later in her verse. Awesome performances from both.

[Shak VS Caniel]

Shak had the punchlines and delivery down. Cainel had the lyricism and complex schemes. Flow ultimately took this battle, and Shak had a more fluid and natural take; very on point. With some more practice and takes, Cainel's audibility would've been more polished. But the secret 3rd verse onslaught on a private channel sealed. Shak brought back the flame with a classic. Cainel responded with direct bars that really sealed it. Shak had an excellent rebuttal and a call back to the classic but after 35 minutes of pure bars from Cainel... gotta give it to Cainel for the out right lack of disrespect for social grace and lack of concern for basic human rights.

Props
