[She Got Ahold of Me]

Dayum! This track's funky! Love the multi-tracking you've used, absolutely perfect for the song. The chorus was awesome, just, all round good listening.

This one is actually going in my favourites, you did so well Francis.

Might look at a collab in the future ay?

Francis-Po responds:

Thanks Alot, Glad I can go into your favorites! Means alot to me.. Been working hard and getting super creative.. After all, Its art. And a Collab in the future is def possible.. Hit me up with more details and what not!..

[Lets Ride]

You did well on this song Francis. You've got a damn good quality mic. Great job mixing, and your flow was fair dope.

My only problem I have with this song is that there was no real focal point in the lyrics. What is the meaning behind your lyrics, what are you trying to say in this song? It seems to me that it was a bit all over the place. You had a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Lyrics will always be the strong point in any song. You're a good rapper Francis, so I want to see you put more story into your lyrics, make them have one topic you're talking about. That's when you'll become a great rapper.

Will be looking out for more of your stuff. Props.

Francis-Po responds:

Yes I can agree with you, I do pride myself in writing a full story.. Im a philosophical artist I sometimes talk in tongue, Hence the lyrics in this song, "Its like the Morris code everytime I explode".. Everything I say does have meaning tho. Some are easy to see what im saying and some are incredible hard. The lyrics that is.. But thanks a bunch man, i appreciate it, I couldnt do it without my producer tho, Me and Him together are a good team. Anything in the future I will send you a pm... Love the constructive criticism tho, I only want to get better

[Almost Fellow (instr.)]

Funky! You're delving into the OLD ol'skool Hip-Hop here friend! Back in the day, Funk was basically Hip-Hop, and it's good to see that you've brought back a taste of the good ol' style Hip-Hop.

The brass in this song was a huge improvement from your last song that featured it, so it's really good to see that you're constantly improving from the reviews you read. It just goes to show that you care what your audience think of your music. Makes us want to keep writing reviews because we know you'll listen.

Good track, nice flow. Can't wait to hear more!

Crueltool responds:

Thanks dude! i always read all comments here & others. And i need all your critic every time - it help me.

[Last Monument (instr.)]

Those strings are the definition of ill. I like the way you've kept the vocal sample and choir just quiet enough that you can hear the emotion, but not so it's the focal point of the beat.

The pattern you've used the strings in, leave room for loads of soul in the lyrics, as if the strings are made to be missing something. And in my opinion that's a story. That's where the lyrics would come in. I feel as though you prepared for that in this song, so good work! It takes a talented artist to find the balance between the perfect instrumental and a solo song without lyrics.

Can't wait to hear who writes the story about the man who stood as the Last Monument.

Dope, all round. Good work Rama.

Crueltool responds:

This track is really causing some emotional feelings. Each of my track, is a reflection of my mood and perception of reality at some point in life (a day or two). Each track is written from the heart and feeling, and possibly experience. Therefore, I always like to see your response (any). Continue to more)

[Do You High? (instr.)]

I really like your style on this one bro, I love how you've switched up the kick and stuff. Sounds real dope.

I felt that the string section could have just been the slightest bit louder, but I guess that's just me being addicted to strings in Hip-Hop.

Keep pumpin' out the good shit bro! Love it!

Crueltool responds:

Thanks for comment man!! This si just start of my new understanding of beatmanking.
as long you live - as long you learn))

[I Could Die (instrumental]

Wow Rama, I am in love with this beat. This song really speaks to me, it's so emotional and loaded with feeling. True soul.

Respect brother, I've got 2 other of your songs in the works, and I think I'm gonna add this one to the queue.

Thanks for another great beat!

Crueltool responds:

Thanks bro! Could i do something better - answer NO (today) & YES (tomorrow). Getting skill up every day.

[Skilled Trick (instrument]

Sitting here..

At 4 in the morning, listening to the sound of this beat and the rain... man, it almost puts this insomniac to sleep. That, Rama, is something that few songs have ever done to me.

For that, I thank you.. thank you Rama.

Chill, with an air of solitude about it. Beautiful.

Crueltool responds:

I appreciate your comment. Excellent thoughts about track)). I hope anyone interested at this. Thanks again.

[Gene Of Being (instrument]

That bass...

Damn, it sounds good through my sub. You did well on this beat Rama, and like Dosko mentioned, it is a little too consistent, but I think that the shortness of the track covers for it. I still don't know why you don't have 1000+ views on all of your uploads.

Love it Rama.

Crueltool responds:

Thanks dude! Hope next track will be much better)))

[Cave Covenant (instrumental)]

Audible Despair

Take the struggles of a man, lost with no hope, and make it into music; this is what it would sound like. Love that violin.

Just, chill. Love it Rama.

Crueltool responds:

Thanks man! Use it anyone)))

[Keeper Of Salvation (instr.)]

Brass is hella tricky to get right.

and you've almost got it. Look up 'Bliss n Eso - Anthem' on youtube. Check out the brass patterns on there. That should help you out a bit.

Crueltool responds:

ok dude. thanks
