Jabun's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Inktober #17 - Jam Bam Wow]

Loved this one! (Echoing Larry's sentiments too). Filthy beat with some chiptune vibes, super tight flows and some really on point adlibs (really loved the acapella outro too). Was the "OH KAY" at 0:08 supposed to be a Donkey Kong reference? It was SO perfect! Great job to the both of you :D

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you too JB! Ah I'm sorry to say the OK! was not a thought-out DK homage at all, just seemed like such a suitable thing to adlib right there. XD I did love those games though (and in fact did do a DK inspired rap years back) so who knows, subconscious inspirations maybe! Thank you thank you!

[Inktober #16 - Halfway Point]

Another great one peeps! Hardhitting beats which compliment the tight flows well. This one's impossible not to bob your head along to! Halfway there now, and Larry feels like you're on maybe a 1/3 of these already this year (loved the string sounds on this one btw) XD I gotta get in on the action! Hope that back's getting better CD!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thank you thank you, it is a groove ain't it! :) Hehe the fact that he's doing these daily too somehow has me jumping on way more than I usually do for sure, so many good ones! XD You definitely do, hope we get in that traditional collabo soon! Back's OK, thank you, seems there are no miracle cures though, just gotta keep working on it.

[Inktober #15.5 - Pain]

Another bonus double day! FANTASTIC STUFF from the the both of you! I wish I could give it 6 stars! More like a blissful poetry or sermon over powerful illustrative ambience than the usual traditional rap stylings. Really enjoyed this! Halfway there now too :D Great stuff peeps!

Cyberdevil responds:

Aw THAT much?! :D I do like how this turned out too, opened a faucet creatively, or maybe tuned me back to what I natively pin inside, and penmanship thrives on this kind of latency. Certainly great to see you appreciate it JB! Will do, halfway through fo rizzle!

[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!
