Tight Rock Song!
Finally a well mixed and good Rock recording! I enjoyed the fact that this song is multi faceted and the stereo sound separation is great. Love the guitar work on this song and the drums and bass guitar sound killer right in the pocket. The vocals are amazingly clear and well arranged. This song is tight in all aspects, very well performed. The dynamics are excellent as they seem to happen in all the right places. Well done. Was this recorded in a music studio or home studio,just curious? Reviewed by Pete Flores Band

Toppermost
It is what it is: the highest quality and the highest possible musical performance. Absolutely great stuff, well done and immaculately manufactured within the studio framework. Everything is to its lieu, be it arrangement, vocalizing or availing musical instruments as such. Believe it or not, you rarely get to deal with such a great attitude being outcome of some immeasurable art of being a man of his craft. Definitely, NEXXT rules! Reviewed by Cinabro

Equal balance
This song has an equal balance of melody, heaviness ,and rhythm that's undeniably good. I wish I could hear more songs like this on the radio but unfortunately radio sucks. But this song is still great and I believe this band can get a audience of followers. NEXXT has made me a fan of there music. I give this track a 5 out of five for its good straight forward song writing and I wish to hear more stuff from this band n the future. Reviewed by Storms of Jupiter

Unbridled energy and passion from the very first note. Sure hit material!
I love the syncopation in this piece and the way the music arrangement has a very direct connection with the vocals answering the emotional intention intensely and precisely. The whole song is one bundle of focused energy. The vocals are crisp, clear and perfect for this genre of music, and the short chorus lines really do add to the dynamics of this song. The lyrics like the vocals are also clear and pointed and genre perfect. The arrangement is full of excellent and very dynamic drum and guitar work. This is a great rock song with super hit potential. The “NEXXT” great chart buster! Reviewed by Eddison Baptiste

Great Beat
Be careful, this one will grab you and won't let go. All the words are understandable, and there's a lot this band wants to tell you. The bass could come up in a big way, because the song moves with some very hard turns and can use something to hold it down in a few spots. Even on these funky computer speakers the bass should still be heard. Great guitar lines, and the this song rocks, plain and simple. Great work. Keep rocking!

Will You Bet - NEXXT
I'm not a fan of clean vocals in metal. And this is a reason, why I can't give more like 4 stars. 'Will You Bet' it's a good composition with short intro began by drums, bass and guitar in the background. After coming lightly guitars combined with clean phrases in the verses and more heaviest guitars combined with screaming in the choruses. Melodic riffs, the way singing is for me a mix of Nirvana/Korn/Limp Bizkit. It's could be a hit in independent radio stations. Greetings, Maciej ATRAPA Reviewed by ATRAPA

I have been playing and listening to blues and rock music since the late 60's. I like the this song. I like the futuristic style and power of it. The guitars are done well and the vocals are great.

Strong performance!
Hello there! I must say that I like finding new musical gems on the net. It's always a pleasure. Never gets old. This is a good song in every aspect. Strong vocal performance, combined with decent and honest songwriting, powerful delivery on instrumentation, good production value...it's all there. I must notice a very good top line with some interesting twists and turns. There is no place for criticism here. Some minor issues are more a matter of personal taste. There is always a different way to make a song, but this one is good as it is. Keep up with good work! All the best! Reviewed by Alexander NovVa

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch, Megan Thee Stallion and DaBaby have blazed the Billboard charts, but Grammy voters gave the young hip-hop stars the cold shoulder in the best rap album category, instead, surprisingly nominating the genre’s more matured voices like Nas and Jay Electronica.
Some were baffled by the academy’s decision to push through some lesser-known projects in the category instead of the popular chart-topping albums that have dominated streaming services with record numbers. Several hip-hop artists weighed in and called out the Grammys, including Drake, Killer Mike and 50 Cent, who said the awards show is “out of touch.”
In addition to Nas’ “King’s Disease” and Jay Electronica’s “A Written Testimony,” this year’s best rap album nominees include Freddie Gibbs & the Alchemist’s “Alfredo,” “The Allegory” by Royce da 5’9” and D Smoke’s “Black Habits.” The rappers are 35-and-up with Nas — who has never won a Grammy — being the oldest at 47.
Each of the nominated albums were reviewed as solid pieces of work, but some rap enthusiasts saw a clear divide between the seasoned rappers and the new generation of twentysomething hip-hop performers — sometimes referred to as “mumble rappers” who focus more on quick word play with heavy bass melodies instead of lyricism.
“First thing that came to my mind was rigged,” said Twysted Genius, who produced four songs on Lil Baby’s sophomore album “My Turn,” including the platinum-selling singles “Sum 2 Prove” and “Emotionally Scarred.”
Billboard named “My Turn” the second-most successful album of 2020, besting projects by pop stars like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and The Weeknd, and easily out-selling the nominees for best rap album. Roddy Ricch’s “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” ranked third on Billboard’s list and has won honors at the American Music Awards, BET Awards and Apple Music Awards..
Twysted Genius, 28, declined to offer names but the producer said he’d never heard of some of the rap album nominees. He struggled to understand why hit singles like Roddy Ricch’s “The Box,” DaBaby’s “Rockstar” and Pop Smoke’s “Dior” were good enough to receive nominations for best rap song or best rap performance, but not their albums.
“It kind of blew me,” Twysted Genius said. “I’ve seen how big Lil Baby has become in the world. I, at least, knew that he would be up for a Grammy for best album. It’s just mind-blowing.”
The producer’s thoughts come a year after former Recording Academy CEO Deborah Dugan claimed that the awards are rigged and filled with conflicts of interests in the nomination process. She was ousted after reporting sexual harassment and pay disparities.
Despite the criticism, Royce da 5’9” believes the Grammys are heading in the right direction under the leadership of Harvey Mason jr., the academy’s interim president and CEO. Last year, the producer-songwriter took on the role with aspirations to diversify the academy’s staff, membership and outreach to the music community.
“They are doing a good job,” said Royce da 5’9”, who is nominated for his first Grammy in a decade. “(Harvey is) a good addition to the Grammys. I think just adding more Black people to the board in different states would really help. I think that’s key.”
Royce da 5’9” said he believes the best rap album nominees perfectly reflects the genre, though he added that Lil Baby and Roddy Ricch’s albums should compete for the Grammys’ top prize — album of the year — instead of best rap album.
“I think if they break it down like that, that would be great,” the 43-year-old said. “Everybody in the rap album category, I (support) them.”
D Smoke — who has been lauded for his Kendrick Lamar-like rap style — believes the rap album nominations opens a “conversation of what our culture needs and wants.” The rapper said the mature voices in the category speak to a broader audience on a “deeper level,” but he adds that the younger generation of rappers need to be heard as well to push the genre forward.
“Their music is successful for a reason. I hope they are not using this as a measuring stick of how successful their year was,” said 35-year-old D Smoke, who rose to fame in 2019 as the winner of Netflix’s music reality TV series “Rhythm + Flow.”
“I’m sure their bank accounts are telling another story,” continued D Smoke, who is also nominated for best new artist along with Megan Thee Stallion and Chika. “I don’t knock them, I just know the quality of music and the people nominated are different — I’m not saying better or worse.”
Bet Rap City
Freddie Gibbs thinks there should be no reason to complain. The rapper said he’s waited to become Grammy-nominated after years of believing he was overlooked as an artist who made waves in the underground scene.

“We can all complain about not getting recognition, but we all live blessed lives doing something that we love to do,” said Gibbs, 38. “It’s not too much to really complain about. When you’re making music on this level, you’re rich. So, whatever.”
He added: “I’ve never been nominated for (anything), but I’ve never complained about it either. When it’s your time — it’s your time.”
