And add another half to that rating. Digging the vibes of this tune. The ol' acoustic guitars, harmonies, harmonica... even the saxophone sounds good. Just. They can easily slip either way of being cool as hell or cheesy as hell. This works though. Just.
Anyway, it reminds me (in a good way) of Nelly or Nesian Mystic. Ummm... they're not the greatest of examples, but in any case... I dig. Top summer type tune. Well done, boys. let me hear something else. Big up the Redfern crew!

Yes! This is what this scene needs. Some funk, some style and something different. The baile funk sound has been around for a bit but this still sounds fresh. Marsepan has got that playful coolness about her. Think Missy Elliot & MIA (to name the obvious). I dig it.
What else you got sis?

The chap has a good voice, is articulate and writes intelligent lyrics. Pretty much all you need for me to give you a tip of the hat.
As for the guest vocalist, Cisco Tavares, the boy always delivers the goods. Great tone and has much soul. Top combination here.
Well done, boys.

Ahhh... this is the niceness. These fullas are no strangers to getting a bit of love on the Hip Hop Show and tunes like these are the reason why. Soulful, heartfelt... just all round goodness.
Looking forward to hearing an album. Not now...
... but right now!

OK... this dude has something happening that many MC's lack; a commanding presence. Although I don't think his name is that great, I do think he has a strong voice that makes the listener pay attention to him and his clever lyrics. Well done, mate. I'm digging this.

Digging this rhythm. It's got soul and jazz tinges mixed with an old drum break blessed with a touch of outta space synths. Nice balance. Looking forward to hearing more from YBP.

Straight off the bat... I'm not really digging the beat. Although it does have that cool eerie feeling that can be found on albums by Mobb Deep and the like, it just doesn't quite hit the mark.
But when the MCs barge into the tune, the track lifts 100%. They show grit and deliver well-thought out lyrics with passion. The chorus isn't the best, but the verses are strong enough to keep it moving.
Nth QLD in the place yet again. Nice one.

OK - Convicthas many things going for him. He hasn't got an annoying voive (a plus in my books), he has a good sense of cadence and has the skill to tell a story while using metaphors.
The only thing I'm not really digging is the music. Not that it's bad or anything, but it sorta feels like cruise ship music.
But hey, it's definitely a good effort. Well done.

OK, this guy has something happening for him. He rides the beat well and has intelligent lyrics. Two up on a lot of MC's nowadays.
Although he lacks a bit of grit, that doesn't take away the fact that he shows promise. I'd like to hear him in a couple of years where he has been given the chance to mature and live life a bit more.
Nice one mate.

I was reading Sunii's mini-bio and I smiled when I read, 'I started recording at 17 (2004) with a mate but it was terrible!!!!! I moved overseas, got some life experience and grew up and decided in October 09 to buy a cheapo mic and start again'. I think a lot of 'artists' need to do the same thing - recognise their weeknesses and then try to strengthen them.
I'm glad Sunii went through this experience because he certainly has potential. He has the delivery, the lyrics and charisma to become a voice that needs to be heard.
Yeah, he's UK born, but we'll claim him. Hehe.
Good work Sunni.
