[Got Your Attention [Prod. by Mic Familiar]]

Really really nice. As someone who makes a lot of hip-hop style myself, I virtually cannot find anything to fault on this piece of work. I especially like the beatbox samples that you use, it just polishes off a really chill song as it is. I do agree with Virginia-Slimm in that it would do really well with a vocal sample, and maybe lower the subs on that bass you introduce at about 0:50 just to bring it out a little more in the mix.

[First (WIP)]

Most of the comments that I'd have made have already been mentioned by everyone else, so I'll just go ahead and let you know that it is good work for your first song ever. However, I DO feel that your drops could do with more of a kick to them if you're looking at an Electro-House-y kind of style, just a matter of picking the right kick drum for the job.

[FD - Subnet Hacking]

Brilliant use of synths to create a mysterious sort of feel. I agree with Virginia-Slimm in that you do let your beat drag on for a little too long in some regions, but as you are only just starting up with hip-hop production, this is a top-class piece of work.

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thanks! Yeah that's definitely something I'll keep in mind for next time

[Holy Water]

to be honest, i feel like it would have been better without the lyrics, they took away from the raw trap value of this tune. your horns are on point and the chilling strings work well. i've replayed it just to try and appreciate it without the lyrics and i realise how much it bangs

[Read the DESCRIPTION!!!]

Since we know I'm at a disadvantage for not having FL, do you mind if an instrumental remake is made, or does it specifically have to be around this song?

The-Cockenator responds:

Whatever floats ur boat :D i put no limits on what you can do ;)

[The New Day]

This is actually pretty nice. It has a nice rhythm and good sense of direction accompanied with decent flow. My one complaint is the bass or lack thereof (which is completely opposite to the problem you had with my song). I'm not sure if it's unclear and left too high and not brought out in the mix, or it's not there but it detracts from the flow because a bassline would help to push the song on. Otherwise, this was quite entertaining to listen to.

[Fucked up!]

This song had me fucked up xD The buildup is neatly done, the sampling is nice, and the focused melody after the buildup isn't over-complicated but it works really well. Loving the violins and the choice of synth :P

I do think that the sample is a little quiet, however. You might consider giving it a bit more of a presence (considering its importance to the song in general).

The-Cockenator responds:

true true :D i am working on it i am just collecting my save files back after my ps bluecreend after win 10 bullshits but it will come :)

[Errísss]

Totally awesome, I love the progression and the chromatic chords because they just work. Shame about the length, but this song holds a load of potential and I can't wait to hear the end product. Also tempting might be changing it to a Future House kind of style if you have the chance to, it'd certainly be original and an absolute banger.

The-Cockenator responds:

Thanks :D if you want and have FL studios you can help me with this project :) i am really just stuck with it haha
