Fax.  📠 "This shit didn't happen overnight."      "Results Take Time" by Bay rapper, Symba is swag and consciousness. It's akin to one of the best times in Hip Hop, when beats were hard-hitting and lyrics scintillating, the early 90s. And in this millennium, where unfortunate deaths and the Soundcloud rapper's experimentations take out some prime lyricists — Cough.Ka.Takeoff.cough — "Results Take Time" is an album the Hip Hop community needed.      In other

Music Single Review: "Insecure" By Roy Woods 5 Boomboxes " But the instant one decides to check out from listening to this track, the beat drops, and as they say, it made all the difference.  " Single from album “Insecure”  Released:  May 6, 2022 Length: 3:41 Genre:  R&B Soul Written by:  Roy Woods Produced by:  Roy Woods, Ovo Sounds      Never write off a track by listening only to the first few seconds. Roy Woods ' "Insecure" has a hackneyed introduction: the audience has heard these guitar progressions and the whining, over-auto-toned vocals before. But the instant one decides to check out from listening to this track, the beat drops, and as they say, it made all the difference. "Insecure" is about women, but the artist took the audiences' expectations -- "oh! We've heard this love song before" -- and used it as bait to reel in its listeners.       A second longer with the introduction and the track would have los

Music Single Review: "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" By My Silent Bravery 3 Boomboxes "...  My Silent Bravery’s cover is a lively version of that experience with spirited vocals and an upbeat instrumental — as seems fitting for the lyrical content." Cover of Mike Posner’s “I Took A Pill in Ibiza” Released:  April 8, 2022 Length:  2:49 Genre:  Pop, Electronic Written by:  Mike Posner Produced by:  (original) Mike Posner & Martin Terefe.  (Cover) My Silent Bravery      To produce a cover of a track, to respect the artist one covers while showcasing one’s talents, all without ruining the attributes which inspired the cover to begin, and then to put it out there to a world who already heard and enjoyed the original, is seldom easy. It’s nerve-racking. My Silent Bravery takes up this task in their cover of Mike Posner’s “I Took A Pill In Ibiza.” They succeed with hearty vocals and immense energy to out-do and out-entertain the bland original and trite SEED remix of “I
