It's All a Mess [prod by Endeva]

[Endeva.]

just finished the video last night... some real close to my heart work


[ill get some links pasted in here shortly]

[2triple0]

I thougth this was on some whitey bulger style and shit........it was alright I think u need some work tbh but it was dope for what it was.....a bit depressing and you seem to write lyrics about the daily hustle and shit.......you gotta revert that beat though I would like to see you do some original pieces instead of writing to other musicians pieces ugh I don't mean to sound pragmatic but you definitely worked it and you could come with something a bit more realistic and shit so we really get the feel of your style and shit.......not a bad effort but still under par

[Endeva.]

could come with something a bit more realistic

what do you mean by that?

and the beat is original I only used 1 guitar sample, well, other than the hook lol

[2triple0]

didn't realize you were from northeast England.... what part? im living in south shields right now but im originally from America in a small town next to Boston...............anyways bro you get and work done on them beats? or anything more elaborate happening in ya world?

[Endeva.]

ah shit cant believe you live in North Shields haha, I live in Ashington, you know it? half hour drive

and nah haven't even glanced those beats yet, got side-tracked, I will though

[2triple0]

word mate..........I actually live in south shields not north shields.........we should meet up sometime homeboy and don't worry about them beats im just mad anxious to get someone a track with my beats.........anyways you ever come through sunderland I would love to meet up or something if you got time......

[Endeva.]

maybe.. but would it not make more sense to come to mine since I've got a studio

[2triple0]

lol might be..........ive been looking for as studio to rap at.......theres a couple places where im from but I need it to be on like a regular basis.....ive got quite a lot of equipment as well..........a cd dj deck a really nice mixer a Stanton record player (but its supped up to fuck)......I got two mics..........a hifi with two speakers.......but where I live they don't like me making a lot of loud music......so if you could help on that angle that would be sick........I need somewhere to play my music loud and just enjoy time.......problem is I don't have a car but im working on getting an English licence....anyways do you know what number bus goes to ashington or the easiest way to get there? let me know yeah if any of this sounds like something youd like to do....cool

[Endeva.]

what kinda mics u got?

oh and, no idea for the buses, but i'll find out n let you know

[Emily]

ahhh, smokey voices rule. So nice Dev.
I gotta hear it again.
That outro creeps up on me and without me even realising it, your voice has made its mark.
I like the grungy vibe you've got going. Far out, you're delivery is sexy as hell. No pretence,
no fakeness. There's a bit of grime and grease in your voice. It leaves the piece with an unwrinkled sleekness that shines.
It's really impressive. The bit I wasn't big on was the sung chorus. I don't know, it seems stuck on, it stuck out, I probably would have preferred you rapping it tbh. You've got such an amazing rap voice, I'd love to hear that chorus walked through with rap instead of conventional singing.

But I loved it. I love this music. 'Hurt' is one of my favourite songs. The johnny cash version.

Nice one Dev.

Nice talent with the video too.

Good stuff.

[Endeva.]

thanks Emily, appreciate it
