Take Root [Mixtape]

[Mr.DGAF]

Well folks, I know I haven't been active lately and there's a good reason why. School work has been tough, but more importantly, I've been putting a lot of work into a collaborative EP that my friend and I are gonna release. We finished a week ago, and I've been testing the waters to see what people thought about it before posting it here. But here you guys go. The following Mixtape chronicles my friend (Dimes( and I's development through high school and onward. I did the front cover, Eedee did the back. Speaking of Eedee, a very special thanks to him for mixing it and giving me the inspiration to do this.

Sidenote, the quality is shitty because we still don't have a great mic. But I worked really hard on my delivery for this. The tracks are recorded basically in chronological order over the course of about 3 or 4 months so I hope the growth is apparent.

Thanks to anybody who listens man, it's greatly appreciated.

[Eedee]

Glad you put this up. Quality isn't the best but you got some raw ass lyricism here.

[Spyder]

sick fuckin cover, will give this a listen


Edit: listened, will go off some tracks in particular

Ready for War, you felt uncomfortable. the flow didnt really feel as natural as it does with other tracks on here. your delivery was a bit underwhelming with this type of track, you used the same emphasis on this one that you did on your emotional tracks, it should feel more angry for this brand of song.

Picture frame the one with eedee i think was the title. eedee had a nice hook, felt the anger without going over board, that was nice. DGAF your flow was better on this and the delivery you used felt better. it was the same delivery you stay using, but it actually worked on this track lol. lyrics and everything else was fine here. dimes seems good, flow was off at some points and he seems to maybe have a southern twang in his voice? idk maybe its just me.

the third song i cant remember the name, but the flow was alot better on this one, kept pace and timing with the beat. nothing too much to say on this one. ill edit it in with the correct title soon.-Over and Over

in all, your flow is there, just needs some touching up. really your main problem is quality. gotta work better with mixing, and or buy a better mic. after that, i suggest coming up with a rap name if your gonna do this semi-often. DGAF works as a username but not really as a rap name lol

keep at it

[Mr.DGAF]

Word, thanks for the listening man. I just got a slightly better mic, and yeah I'm working on delivery man. That's a big thing for me, I'm trying to find that balance but its tough. Trying to get that angry sound in my parents basement is tough sometimes haha.

But thanks a lot for the in depth feed man, it's greatly appreciated.

I've listened to nearly the whole mixtape and like I've said my favourite songs are Picture frame, Eedee's hook is awesome and you killed the verses. and i like growing from the bottom. I think sometimes you could use some better rhyming and delivery could be stronger sometimes

[Mr.DGAF]

I agree about delivery mane. I'll work on that for sure.

[Eedee]

Who did the hook here? "Growing From The Bottom (BONUS)" I think the beat was dope as hell.

I just listened to 2 songs I can't listen to the full EP right now but I will as soon as I can, I have a hockey game right now so I hope you understand.

DGAF did that whole song, dawg.

Dimes is a good addition to the Eemaz family.

He's got that hybrid voice that separates him from the sheep.
The same goes for DGAF.

Overall, people can really appreciate this tape for what it is if they look past the poor quality.

The lyricism is actually scary.
I would go as far as saying that it's almost on-par with most underground acts today.
