Rules To This (1 of 365)

This one was lots of fun. Found and entered my first contest today! Let's see how it goes! Consider voting for your favorite here https://www.reddit.com/r/makinghiphop/comments/157oxqd/mhh_weekly_cypher_vol_10_submission_thread/

Press Start To Pray (prod. RAF NITE)

This is a bit about discipline. Doing what you said you'd do because you said you'd do it. Even when you don't feel like it. That's probably when it's most important.

Update: Got some really cool tips and feedback to help make this song much better, so I implemented those changes and wanted to repost this one!

Exercise

Exercise (4 of 365) prod. MIDES

Purpose doesn't come from nothing.

UPDATE: Got some better mixing habits. I think this sounds better than it did before.

Valentine's

Valentine's (5 of 365) prod. 2K Beats (Remastered)

I had a really bad week a few months ago. I wrote about it.

Last minute on this one. It's gettin' late.
I changed the beat at the last minute - let me know what you think! Also, the video is a little better than previous ones. I hope you enjoy.

UPDATE: I didn't like the beat change. And I've learned some quality enhancements I wanted to implement. I hope you enjoy this more - I sure do.

Bad Week

Bad Week (6 Of 365) prod. Angelo Imani

I don't think we're supposed to be able to do whatever we want. Even if we "can."
I do believe most of us are capable of excellence, though.

You Can't Be Whatever You Want

You Can't Be Whatever You Want (7 of 365) prod. Jodzi

Goliath

Goliath (prod. LOMARK)

This one is special to me. It speaks to why I'm 4 days or so behind, but will be catching back up. More importantly, an artist that I highly respect worked the mixing and mastering on this, and taught me some of the ropes. I hope it translates into better music for you - I can already hear a difference.

Pro-Fessor

Pro - Fessor (12 of 365) prod. Chxse Bank

Mister Williams - Fire (15 of 365) prod. MIDES

I used to think it was kind of cliche, but there's definitely folks out there that have said they don't want me talking about Jesus.

So...here's to you.

Effort

Effort (16 of 365) prod. Chxse Bank

My son had once mentioned wanting to hear someone rhyming with the word Aluminum. I guess I didn't really nail it, but here's my attempt.

Junior

Junior (17 of 365) prod. Diaboulik

I guess I'm talking about a lot here. It's probably the closest I get to politics. I just feel like we're being lied to constantly about everything...from why things have gotten more expensive, to what should be important to us. It all just feels like a game, and I'm not really diggin' it.

Oxygen

Oxygen (18 of 365) prod. MIDES

I affirm, brothers and sisters, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily.

See Ya'

Here, I'm talking about what I talk about.

Sorry If I'm Boring

Sorry If I'm Boring (23 of 365) prod. Tionist

I suppose there's more to triumph over in my life, but this is what I'm focused on right now.

Update: Cleaned the mix up. Added a few plugins to the toolbelt and watched a few videos to up my game. Hope it helps!

Try-Umphin'

Try - Umphin' (prod. Leftfield)

Check out the AI video I made for this one! I think I'm going to do more if I can get the hang of it.

My entry for Week 16 of the r/makinghiphop...collection. I got to choose the beat this time. CRISES by LoMark. His beats are trash. Go check them out: https://soundcloud.com/lo-mrk
The topic is, "the calm before the storm."

Revelations

Revelations (prod. LoMark)

I eat like a whole sleeve over the course of a day. Just one here, then one there. By the time it's all over, they're gone. It's ridiculous.

Oreos

I do like Christmas, but I've just gotten frustrated with it over the years. So here's my song that's not about Christmas.

Frustrated

Frustrated (prod. estepaxbeats)

My tribute to Week 21 of r/makinghiphop. This beat is by E.D.I.

The topic is, "do work."
Updated the mix a bit too. Someone graciously pointed out my highs were too high, and my lows weren't high enough! 
Hope you enjoy.
