    2. Morning High
    3. Panoramic Visionary
    4. Flash Like Avalanche
    5. Piano Dance

    8. The Ghosts
    9. Ghost In The Piano Room
    10. Piano Buzz

        ok....on the intro track I really liked the beat and the sample, but I just felt like the drum kit itself sounded a little out of place on the track...especially the cymbal. But that's just my opinion.

        track 2 and 3 are tight. I like how you use those short vocal samples on these tracks.

        I really liked piano dance, but I felt like it got a little repetitive for me. I would have liked to hear some more of those samples over the top of the beat or something to mix it up a little bit.

        Jazz at it's finest is a good song...I like the way you used the samples, but again the drum kit just sounds a little out of place to me. Like you have these really interesting samples, but then the drums just sound so generic, but the beat was nice.

        Piano Buzz seemed a little out of place to me.

        Overall I thought Morning High and Panoramic were favorite two tracks on the album.

        This is all off just listening to it one way through and writing down my opinions while I was listening.

        I swear I'm not trying to be a ***** at all and I'm sorry in advanced if it comes off like that, but I was just trying to give you my honest opinion and maybe some constructive criticism. But seriously I thought it was pretty good overall and way better then anything I could do! just keep up the hard work man!

          Appreciate you listening to it.

          I also felt the drums were kinda odd after I finished, but I've always been of the attitude that since I felt like they fit at the time, I don't want to change it.

          Since I know you'll listen to my stuff, I'll continue to keep you updated. I have a bunch of unheard material on my computer.

            I downloaded it out of curiosity and put it on my iTunes playlist.
            Interesting sounds.
            Seriously.
            I am too old to be a rap/hip-hop guy (42) but am always intrigued by the beats they sample and the sounds the produce. I can't relate to the "I got a Bentley, a hoe and cash" lyrics, but I always find the sounds interesting.

            Haven't really devoted a lot of time to give any actual criticism of your music.
            24 minutes for 10 songs? Thought that was kind of interesting.

              Funny thing is, Ohene did the same concept album a year ago. I'll give it a listen and compare.

              Cameras or guns, one of them is gonna shoot me to death.

                Yeah man just hit me up whenever!

                Correct me if I am wrong, but I definitely here a little madlib influence in your music which I think is tight.

                  It's probably done by accident, because although he is my favorite producer, I try not to bite his style.

                          I listened all the way through probably five times over the past few days. I like it alot. I actually fell asleep last night with it on repeat. The Intro, Misunderstood, Ghosts in Piano Room, and Piano Buzz are my favorites. I'd be interesting in hearing what samples you used or what software, etc if you don't mind sharing that kind of stuff. At least if that was you playing the piano parts? I've just started trying to pick up the keyboard. Good stuff though, and dope cover.
