The best way to learn to by observing.
Surroundings must always be paid their fair share of attention.
Act as a sponge: do not speak much and, if possible absorb whatever is occurring in the immediate vicinity. Setting up a residence inside of a pineapple is best left to the realm of personal preference. Consider that no two bikini bottoms are the same. Neither pants nor squares, though, are of great concern at the moment. Despite being a long standing opponent of walls that number four, the author has opted to leave this particular fight for another time More pressing issues await.
Concerns such as: Mouth, ears, and eyes have been covered for too long must be addressed
Due to fear, three of the more important human senses have been censored Questions cannot be asked without speech; itself unable to be acquired without eyes or ears. More importantly - and in just such a fashion - the author recently gained gain a lesson in pop culture history while waiting in line at a gas station. Like old friends meeting-up once again, the attendant asks a customer in a navy blue, button-down shirt, "You work two jobs?" To which the individual with a clay complexion responded, "Yeah, I'm like a Jamaican. I got two jobs." Most homies might not play that game in particular, but this cat was decidedly different.
On the song below, though, such a question does not exist. The performer is a professional musician. There is no doubt about it: singing the man's craft and released yesterday, "Ghetto Life" is the latest addition to I-Octane's cannon. A socially conscious record, the song is laid out in a typical pop fashion, Two short verses are featured over a mid-tempo kick/clap rhythm. Bass maintains a funky disposition throughout. Meanwhile, piano carries the melody while a synth synth the harmony; a second of the latter variety appearing in the second verse. During the hooks the percussion becomes for elaborate. For example, a closed-hit hat accents the fourth beats while an open hi-hat grooves on the thirds. Snare appears only briefly in the bridge. Auto-tuned singing is most relegated to the theme as each verse receives a novel delivery.
Very good song, no reason to complicate matters
Notable Mention: MrSM [TruchaGang] - "Jiggle It [Prod. by DJ Jyz]"
In contrast, the second song is clearly intended for the clubs.
One may even even that what follows is unquestionably a "slapper."
Such an assessment would not be false. The song below is grandiose. Created from the reckless lava of a volcano erupting at see, neither singer nor producer have any regard for innocent bystanders. Collateral damage is merely accepted as a tragic inevitability.
Released two days ago, "Jiggle It" is a fast number driven by a kick/snare beat. Ultimately, though, rhythm section is very much busier While closed hi-hats mark quarter beats claps syncopate. Djembe is heard at the beginning and nearly disappears, destined to a legacy overshadowed. Melody mostly comes from a three beat accordion. During the chorus, a four beat EDM synth , which undergoes a key change, is harmonized by the deep sounds of a piano. Bass is largely subtle and used mainly for its fill at the end of a bar.
But the most interesting aspect is the use of vocals. MrSM's delivery is mostly rap, except for the zouk/kizomba hook. As can be expected, ab-libs vary from vocalization to lines repetition; both of which add a layer of melody and rhythm. It a a final source, however, that has managed to grab the author's attention. A vocal sample lifted from Brazilian funk plays alongside the drums. As a syncopate the beat sound fuller and more robust as opposed to cluttered. An extra dose of energy is essentially provided.
The download is very highly recommended
