[Inktober #15 - Breath Of Life]

Lovely nostalgic and emotional videogamey beat from FoD. Tight and punchy flows with nice phrasing from Cyberdevil. Good job on the doubletracking and adlibs too! Great job peeps!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you thank you! You're actually hearing some tripletracking on this one. ;) They synced so well! Though I wonder about the pros and cons when it comes to clarity with stuff like this, it definitely decreases a little, though does sound so much richer too...

[Inktober #14 - Shrimp]

Lol XD I learnt something new today then! Rhymes went deep into shrimp day deliciousness. Sandwich looks great too! I actually prefer your actual one rather than the stock version :) Tasty!

Cyberdevil responds:

Hehe it's good to have a theme, gets that inspiration going! XD Thank you! It did taste good, finna make one for lunch today too, with salad this time...

[Inktober #13 - A Sunday When All Is Said And Done...]

I know what you mean in that this one didn't stand out as much as other ones this month, but you're already setting a high bar for yourself and I don't think this one was bad at all :) Reminds me of a previous year's acapella actually, though can't recall the track specifically. Lyrics are still reflective in a nice way. Delivery sounded great to me too :) Almost halfway there now!n Keep it up CD!

Cyberdevil responds:

Well thank you Nick. :) Indeed the bar rises, gotta remind myself to make more time for the fun in this sometimes; let go. Can make a great day even of one that starts slow; not as motivating. Indeed, I shall keep pushing till it's over! Appreciate the encouragement and rotor!

[Inktober #12 - Anticipation]

Nice chiptune vibes in the instrumental, and some nice sung into rap passages in the vocals (giving me Eminem vibes). Good stuff peeps!

Cyberdevil responds:

Ah man it seems whatever style I opt for Eminem's done something like it already. XD The inspiration may run deeper than I think hmm... honorable comparison though; appreciate it!

[Inktober #11 - Orange Days]

Nice chill vibes with this one, both instrumentally and vocal delivery. Great job both of you!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you!

[Inktober #10 - Summer Stuff 2024]

Lovely reflective vibes with this one! Nostalgic too even though I don't recall the original from back in the day (listened back and that one was great as well). A lifetime of growth since then too! Great stuff and happy 10th anniversary :)

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you man. Definitely noticing how my vocals have changed since, though in terms of wordplay it feels like I was a lot more poetic back then, maybe it's true creativity peaks somewhere in your twenties... though then again, totally different timeframe for writing!

Thank you! Can't wait do this again 2034 and see what's in store then. :P

[Inktober #9 - A Quick Fix]

Nice vocal layering on this one and tight acapella rhymes too! Hope the back feels better soon. I need to work on that on my end too... Keep up the great work!

Cyberdevil responds:

Think I went a bit overboard with the layering on this one myself, but thanks! XD You've got back issues too huh, seems a thing everyone's dealing with these days! Hope you too manage to make that back feel truly new real soon dude!

[Inktober #8 - From The Road]

Really liked this one. Although it's nice to have some beats in there, sometimes it's just nice to isolate the flows and focus on the rhymes :) Nice little breath riser coming in there too! Great stuff!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank ya Nick. :) It's nice to record like this once in a while too, no need to adlib or layer or match the tempo of an instrumental... maybe makes for a different state of mind and style of writing too.

Aaand an audible initial breath is called a breath riser in studio lingo huh, good to know! XD

Cheers man; glad you liked this, despite the vices!

[Inktober #7 - For The Road]

Hehe, does seem to be consistent trip every year doesn't it! Definitely giving me vibes from older years. And congrats on the new car! Enjoy (both trip and car)!

Cyberdevil responds:

Yupp. :) Well thank you, though just a rental! I don't actually own this Brand New Volvo V90 Cross Country AWD Automatic!

[Inktober #6 - Perception]

Fast flows on this one CD! Great use of the adlibs and backing too! Eminem vibes this time :) The unexpected acapella 2nd half really stuck out with this one. Some great lyrical lines in there too! Great stuff! Was this a first time collab?

FantasistEldrun responds:

I guess... ^^' (not sure of what first time means here)

Anyway thanks for the review, hope Cyberdevil's gonna see it :D
