I commend you for your effort and appreciate you for doing your best as regards your music career and to put yourself out there.... let me quickly share the areas I think you may need to improve on;

1) audibility : It was a struggle trying to pick out the words you were saying which shouldn't be..... especially for the type of music(conscious music) you just did. The words, your words, need to be clearer for people to get the message that you are trying to pass across. I actually feel you were trying to fit in too many words in a line which could have resulted in your words not being clear enough.

Solutions: You can try to use fewer words in a line.
You can also try as much as possible to use words that you can easily and clearly pronounce.
After recording a song--- make sure you play it outside your recording studio, in an open place or preferably in a bar with good sound systems.... it will most likely show or tell you if the quality of your sound is good enough and if your words are clear enough.

2) Attitude : It is not so much about how well you can sing or your word plays or melody in the song but how you sing or deliver your lines bro! Delivery(attitude) is very key bro. By the way I think those sounds or intro or whatever it is before you started singing wasn't necessary....kindly remove it

Music is an art...a form of poetry for me. You need to be able to make people see or believe or buy into any message you are selling or trying to sell through your words and delivery. I should be able to mentally picture whatever you are trying to tell me through your music..... That I couldn't do with this particular song but to assume what you were trying to do.

3) Identity: What type of music do you really want to do or which area are you likely to fit in? I may be wrong but listening to this song makes me feel like you are yet to find who you want to be in the industry. If you are still struggling with your identity, please know that most people will struggle to relate or identify with your music too. You need a unique sound or you have to be better than those who do similar music with you.

4) Nigeria Factor : I am assuming you are doing music for the CASH and the rest reasons.... If you want to do music in nigeria and make it, you need to know the way the market works and the people you intend to sell your music to. If you like do just RB, Conscious music like reggae, hip hop, afro etc you must choose one bcuz gone are the days you can do a song without choosing and maintaining a lane in nigeria music industry. If you don't have a lane or cant maintain your lane....you may end up like the iyanyas of this world, Praise etc....

I hope I was able to communicate my points in the right way....

Wish you all the best chief...

Thanks for the advice boss, i am glad you pointed all these out to me. I am grateful.

Nihilstjnr:
no I meant the lo-fi production fits the sonic profile of a SoundCloud tune

Okay boss... can you send me the link to the tune? I want to consume anything that can help

Nihilstjnr:
It's a SoundCloud tune.

Okay i think you mean the beat.. No its not mine, in fact i got it from here youtube.com/audiolibrary. I was actually asking for reviews on the song in general. I recorded and mixed alone so i need opinions to know what's wrong with my music. Please tell me what you think.

afrodoc2:
Not bad at all. I hear a strong Drake influence in it, was that intentional?
The music could have been a little lighter and the lyrics a little clearer though, IMO.

Thanks man. Yea there is. I thought the lyrics were also not too clear. I will try and mix everything again.

Good morning guys. I recorded, mixed and mastered this at home so not 100% great but your criticisms please, even the destructive ones are permitted.

Love you all mehn

Pogba has to improve his game, Sanchez has to improve his game, Martial has to improve his game, Lingard has to improve his game, Lukaku has to improve his game, Mata has to improve his game, Shaw has to improve his game, Rashford has to improve his game, It is only under Mourinho I am hearing everyone has to improve their game every season, but the coach's game doesn't need improving

Improvement FC.. we don suffer

Kholiwe:
Please, don't engage with anybody that
doesn't know that Paul Pogba is United's
second best player after De Gea.

Come stop this joke oo I won't even respect you based on the (f) and based on Nairaland pioneer member. Small time now you people will say Pogba is top 5 of United's best players ever

Would Obama have been worried if Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Bezos and co decided to pull funds together for a candidate to run against him for his second term?
