I produced (yes, using Rylynn) and my brother is the one you'll hear on the song.

We would both very much appreciate real constructive criticism, or compliments, whichever you feel suits.

Yeah, it was recorded using a bootleg copy of FL studio, with no sound packs and a laptop mic with a blanket thrown over us :-/ haha we need to get a better mic with a decent pop filter, and at least make some kind of decent sound proofing to prevent bouncing. Also my brother threw the lightning in there, I personally was against it because of the terrible quality of the lightning its self.

I like the dood rappin. Good voice. Doesn't sound put on. The production is everything in most modern rap since they use very little musical input, so this version of the song is lacking heavily where this style of music is generally recognized. There is something to be said about a low-fi product, gives it a from the heart and wholesomeness but if that's the case and this isn't supposed to be a big sounding production and more of a song, then it's missing a motif. As is, the song needs a hook to leave behind. The guitar is pretty, but not catchy. Either a second guitar or synth (?) to play a simple melody, or a sung refrain. After listening to this song, I don't remember anything. After listening to Hey Ya, I remember the little "bleep bleep bleep bleep" mofit. Or the catchy, "Hey Ya." Weather or not your audience likes it, is up to them, but if you add that, those who do like it need something to recreate after they've heard to it.

Do you have a lot of subs in your studio, or is the bass cranked on the speakers? There's hardly any bottom end in this mix.

I like what he's rapping about, and I think he has a good voice in general.

But the sound quality of the song is horrible.
And I really don't like all the gun fire and weird bubble sounds.

I kinda like the softer sound of the radio chat and what not later on in the song though.

I would recommend getting a decent mic. May I recommend a Audio Technia AT2020 for a cheap solution.

The guitar sounds really pushed back in mix as well. Raise the volume of the guitar a little bit and put a little bit of reverb on it to fill out the sound of the mix.

make sure to use Equalizers when producing with lower quality mic's like that because It will make it sound alot better.

Good luck brotha

I enjoy writing and producing music as well
