I'm finally getting the hang of this mix/mastering (shouts to Mutual aka Infinite for showing me how to use Adobe Audition)... This is probably my best "quality" work on one of ILLEST's finest track makers... 'preciate it Ruckus

"Puttin' ILLEST on the Map"... check it... (yall ought to be proud of your boy for gettin' this far .. hehe)

Quality is definitely a step above from your others. I can actually understand you now lol. It still sounds goofy though, like a radio broadcast or something. Flow was on point. It seems like something is missing in your delivery though... like you're trying to be quiet or something. You've got kind of an old school sound to your delivery, but it doesnt sound very energetic, if you know what I mean. I think it'll improve over time though. You've got the flow down and you sound fairly confident. Track turned out pretty nice though. The vocals could still be adjusted though, sounds a little too bassy or something, maybe the audio guys can pinpoint that. Definitely an improvement over yer previous work. The lyrics were slick, the beat fits your style too. Nice track man, stay at it.

Ruckus who you callin' old skool? LOL! - I think i sound like Timberland or something.. I always wondered why he auto-tuned his voice or just didn't speak at all. I have a lot of Bass in my voice, gotta figure out how to use it.

Menace you right about falling off low in a few places. Next purchase: Mic Stand.

This Beat Raised a Ruckus ..haha.. alot of cool lil switchups

Quality wise this ones an upgrade over the others i heard..
your flow is pretty much on point ..i hear what they said about you soundin laid back your just trying to be smooth on the deliv but giving it a lil more power in your delivery just sounds a bit better ..

I do like how you stay on concept and lyrics are str8 .
keep that elevation perpetual..1

this was pretty cool... much much better quality than what i've heard from ya... flow was pretty good on point... fell off maybe a couple of times here n there... but still its good... ur gettin better... as for ur voice... i'd say just use it to ur advantage kinda like I-20 speak up tho... i can tell ur soft spoken... when ur behind the mic let the emotion flow man... just get loud ya know??? pretend that the mic is somebody standin far enuff away from u that u have to raise ur voice a hair for them to hear u... cause when ur rappin it sounds like ur talkin to urself cause the beat drowns u out... u gotta be equal with the beat...

'preciate it Lawgix... but this is a pretty old one. I really need to do it over cause I love this beat Ruckus made and I've purchased more equipment since this. But anyway... check the PM i sent you.. that might be the kind of "Emotion" you talkin' about.

Holla at me.

Yea, this is one of my favorite instrumentals... Ruckus dropped a nice one here. I'd hate to do it over and screw up the originality of the song but I'm considering it. thanks anyway TOYH, much appreciated.

The beats fiyah on some pimp shit, your flow is solid man but the quality makes it a little hard to understand (I think it might be the reverb, I'm not sure). Your lyrics are nice from what I could make out; all in all it's a nice track.

Thanks K, yea that beat is fire man! I dropped this when I was using a headset mic. Still trying to improve in that area. I got some new equipment for x-mas and I'll be trying them out. Stay tuned.

Thanks for checkin.
