2SHADES Perspective on Breaking Down
I'm from a small town, simply a visionary songwriter/rapper that has created a various amount of personas. In which i utilize in AI. Aside from that I also record and write my authentic music, I tend to blend rock and rap elements
This is a song about family discontent and relationships over the last few years. As the opening lines state in Breaking Down.
I was raised listening to rock and roll, more toward alternative rock. I didn't really get into rap till a few years before I started writing songs. I've wrote a lot of music in the last 13 years none of them will make it to a release but that's too soon to say.
My senior year in high school was the moment I wanted this. (2012) i performed on a stage during a competition i felt so alive on the stage it felt natural.
It's a mixture of rock and rap elements, it doesn't dive into nu metal as much as my other releases coming.
My songwriting has definitely improved, I used to recycle verses and reuse them now I brain storm developed a four bar Hook and go from that.
Emotional Turmoil, Depression, Anxiety, i dabble in party anthems or storytelling narratives to. Next one is a concept album.
Hopsin due to his unfiltered ideology, his songs is where i decided to explore alter egos and dive into more intricate wordplay. Plus his wordplay is so unorthodox it's entertainment.
You like rap that speaks in substance or has a message to make you not feel unwelcome or part of something everyone has shared or is sharing.
Storytelling and Entertainment for anyone who likes independent artists. Loyal to his fan base.
Chester Bennington and old school Linkin Park. I've always see the live concerts but always wanted experience my number 1 band of all time. Even the new Linkin Park I'm excited for. So huge fan and just love the messages it saved me from very bad choices.
It's actually slated for later but the entire Cracked Mirrors album took me 1yr 3 months to figure out what songs to put on it. The one that sticks out is Castlrle which is next week's release.
I'll listen to a song and reword it and I'll write it down with a different cadence and flow. I get creative when I have something in front of me.
I had to find out a way to bring this alive. So I recorded some vocals and utilize Suno.AI to finalize the project. My vocals but the ai did wonders to my scratchy vocals. Can't wait to re-release this with my official vocals.
Collaboration is great for creative flow, but the flaw is if you can't agree on the verses or overall production, so i generally work alone but am open to features and collabs.
I'll make about 20 a month last year i released beats i made in 2022 but haven't really jumped back in the product wheel since early 2023
The mixing and mastering. I have issues with keeping things on beat
1 day spent about 3 hours writing, revising and fixing errors that clash with flow. I'll record each stem and then by the end I'll put it together. Then I attempt to mix it properly.
