Peter Nic - Late Night Transmitter album review
Peter Nic is planning on leaving the country of Australia later this year as of 2018 in order to promote the Late Night Transmitter. Peter has expressed desire to extend his roots in the United States (US) as an effort of promoting his 4th studio album towards American audiences. He wants to push the details of this album over the internet.
The album Late Night Transmitter has an R&B/pop vibe to it with a fairly deep level of production. The production and sound are very high definition. Australian artist Peter Nic is going on a different musical route for this album
The Room Starts To Move is an acoustic song with an R&B vibe over high definition sound. Room Starts To Move is about being yourself and never changing who you are.
You follow Peter inside as he is trying to get away from you. Peter moves into apathy this time. Peter does not want you to talk about how you changed. 40 seconds into the song is where the sound changes in terms of high definition. You can feel the room slowly turning over along with the mood. Then it gets dark. However the mood is not dark.
Ain’t It Crazy greets us with a distorted electronic keyboard playing. 6 seconds into the song a funky acoustic guitar is played with an R&B sounding vibe. The guitar is played in a subtle manner. The whole song is smooth and subtle. Overall the song Ain’t It Crazy has an R&B vibe to it with a thick R&B sound.
Peter Nic explains at the beginning how there is something messing with his head. He can’t see why this has to end. He’d rather run instead. There is no voice to tell him “no”. Who are you to stop him now? Even your good intent doesn’t make him content. Peter explains he is not accepting of your intent.
Twinkle is a trance song with an R&B with backing from a single acoustic guitar. A single acoustic guitar plays a single note at 3|4 time at the beginning. The electronic array keyboards used in this song help get the song into a trance. The song itself perfect enough to be an instrumental track for an instrumental album.
In this song, Peter wonders if he is getting anywhere in his relationship. He questions the authenticity of their trust inside the relationship. He could stay in the relationship in order to get to know you more based on trust. Just a little bit. It’s so good even though you’re still hurting inside emotionally. Peter questions if he is getting anywhere in the relationship of his.
The song Not Yet gets us with the subtle sounds of birds chirping. The song has a lonely desolate feel. A single rhythmic guitar plays a single note at 2|4 time. The rhythmic guitar is the selection for the acoustics on this song.
Peter keeps giving you what you need. He’s kept this feeling low and invisible to the public. Peter has this feeling he’s not going to make it home. Peter has an empty house and an empty head. He is at his location being on the ground realizing he is lonely. Times goes so slow for him. He feels he is not ready to commit to a relationship.
Frame Rate is a hodgepodge of electronic blips and medium bass. The mood is slow for this song. The beats are processed and the sound is spacey. The whole vibe is spacey.
*Peter Nic is an artist from the country of Australia.
5/5*****!!

L-Storm - Mortal Combat album review
The album Mortal Combat by L-Storm is a mixture of storytelling and comedy over hot beats fresh from New York State. 99% percent of this album is filled with hip hop beats fresh for 2018. The album itself is a hip hop journey similar to Da Youngstas, Necro, Jeru Da Damaja, Shyhiem, or Biz Markie. The album was released digitally on his bandcamp page on February 22, 2017.
It’s That Life begins with the usage of an old school soul song sample with a jazzy punch. The violin arrangements are perfectly fitting for this track as they fit in appropriately with the sampled song. This one is for all the real Hip-Hop heads out there.
L-Storm gets very personal on It's This Life as this song he wrote himself was written straight from the heart. When L-Storm laughs when he thinks about the past. He has improved his craft of rapping. Countless MC’s did it. The ones called friends turned their backs on him. This was once he started staring facts. These were true facts. Some people just can’t handle the truth. L-Storm brings back the classic sound of East Coast hip hop on It’s That Life.
Who's Ya Top 5 begins with a single flute for the woodwind selection. The beats and bass are bangin’ and will rattle your speakers! L-Storm brings back the boom bap sound on this song. Arrangements for the samples used for this track are laid out perfectly. The song was produced by Iron Wind.
Not only does L-Storm bring back the boom bap sound on this song, but he brings back the classic sound of East Coast hip hop. Who's Ya Top 5 is for all the real Hip-Hop heads out there. Who's Ya Top was written straight from the heart.
Blood Reign is a dark hip hop song that is an original L-Storm song. This is where Storm brings back the classic sound of East Coast hip hop. The album’s mood transitions into a dark mood with this song of his.
Severe Thirst To Kill is too low quality as the treble is reduced too low. The treble in the vocals is reduced too much. You can hardly hear the sample used in the background. However the vocal quality is up to standard.
The sound quality for Guess What I'm Thinking is subpar and up to quality standard. The vocals, treble, and bass are reduced way too low. Much work could have been done to improve the track.
Rollercoasters is a song that discusses the ups and downs of life. Life brings smiles and frowns. We all have ups and downs.
Mortal Combat is a lyrical freestyle rap song that brings back that classic East Coast hip hop sound. The bass is definitely phat! L-Storm goes to war against fake emcees on Mortal Combat. Overall Mortal Combat is a dark hip hop song.
Beast Coast Warning is similar to a song you would hear from Method Man, Necro, Run The Jewels, Black Moon, or Jean Grae. Beast Coast Warning is a dark hip hop song with dark sounds.
4/5****

Partners In Rhyme - Push N Pull single review
One would expect Partners In Rhyme to be a hip hop super group from an East Coast state in the US such as New York, New Jersey, or Pennsylvania. However that’s not the case. Partners In Rhyme hails from Tusla, Oklahoma surprisingly. One would have never thought or expected a group such as this one to hail from Oklahoma State with a group name such as Partners In Rhyme. Partners In Rhyme can be cited as early pioneers of Oklahoma hip hop/rap and Tulsa rap.
Push N Pull was released a single on 12 inch vinyl in 1990 on Northland Records. The single itself is filled with super dope funky fresh rhymes with funky dope beats. High powered heavy bass is accompanied by the rap especially on the tracks Push N Pull and Cold Chillin' In The Middle.
Push comes to shove on Push N Pull. The song itself is filled with super dope funky fresh rhymes with funky dope beats. And of course high powered bass. Cold Chillin' In The Middle is a funky hip hop song with a touch of East Coast flavor.
5/5*****!

Geza X - We Need More Power single review
Geza X is a forefather of the underground LA punk rock scene. He is known for his production work with Black Flag and Dead Kennedys. This sound is reminiscent of experimental rock rather than punk rock. However We Need More Power isn’t the best rock album. In fact, We Need More Power is a mediocre rock album with song that are too short in terms of timespan and duration. Most of the lyrics seem to have been written by a middle school student rather than an actual rock musicians.
We Need More Power is a revolutionary cry and call for an evolutionary leap. Civilization is in deep. Society wants to win, but the price is too steep to pay. So metaphorically in the song, society is backed into a corner. We have got make an evolutionary leap. The future has a grim outlook as out moral ethics are in shambles. History is in shambles. But there’s a problem. We Need More Power!
Mean Mr. Mommy Man is a grotesque song with violent lyrics describing how a doctor had a deal with “Mean Mr. Mommy Man” to cut the worms out of Geza X’s head.
3/5***

Mia X - Sista Stories 2007 album review
Sista Stories showcased the raw sista side of Mia X which was written from a sista's point of view and perspective. Mia X shares her experience about womanhood in form of rap. Tales of conflict and tales of confusion are told. It's also about dealing with pain during the struggle of life. For those who don't know, Sista Stories picks up where Unladylike left off which is what Mia X intended. In fact, Sista Stories revisits Unladylike in a more explicit manner.
This No Limit album is different as there are not as many radio friendly tracks on this album. Only 3 of the 17 tracks that were on this album are radio friendly. Mia X decided to take a more darker explicit approach when recording this album. While album seems to have a Burlesque theme, Mia X might have been inspired by R. Kelly during the time. She brought out that raw uncut hip hop sound with this album.
Sista Stories did not get an official release but a few promo copies were pressed up for record company executives and radio stations instead. However a lot of songs from this album had leaked about 10 years ago. Mia X leaked songs from her old twitter account in 2007. That is one of the reasons why this album from No Limit did not receive an official release to the public.
Mia X did a remake of the 1987 Cover Girls hit Show Me. Show Me was one of the 3 radio friendly cuts that were on the album. The remake is filled with rawness as Master P lent a hand in production of course. Mia X did a good job.
Somethin New featured Devin The Dude and No Limit Top Dog Snoop Dogg when he was in his prime. Somethin New was a funky smooth cut with the loopy Devin The Dude to add in with the quirkiness.
The Feel Good Song has an upbeat reggae vibe to it. The piano used in this song helps give the mood an upbeat reggae vibe. The song is dedicated to family and friends. The song also sheds light on enjoying the company of your favorite people you love and cherish.
After The Pain is a Mix A remake of the Betty Wright song After The Pain. This version is cover song laced over updated beats produced by KLC with a fresh new sound.
4/5****!
