Itsphyre and Jeroux1 "Someday" - Steve Raze


"Music Branded New Featured Artist"

G2 is a burgeoning hip hop group out of Cleveland, Ohio that was formed in 2010 and is comprised of A. Majors (Itsphyre) and D. Coleman (Jeroux). Their hit video for the song “Past Tense” gained them considerable national attention and also their song “Do You Wanna” can be heard on radio stations throughout Ohio. They are known for their witty lyrics and crafty hooks over clever instrumentals. G2 currently is one of only two unsigned acts out of Ohio to be featured on allhiphop.com and one of the first to have an app (Green On The Go) on the android market that keeps fans up to date with music, videos and more, with all of that and a tour sponsored by Island/Def Jam and Vitamin Water under their belt G2 is definitely a group to watch in 2012.

FEEDBACK NOTES FOR ARTIST “ Goin Green”

Track One- “Poppin’”

Dope Intro- Not sure what it would cost to clear the “Let’s Get Ready To Rumble”
sample though!! I love the sample, I think I hear the Jungle Boogie Horn Hit in there.
Hook is very much in sync with the sample. I like the way they go together.

Lyrics come in and the first thing I notice is that there is a quality discrepancy between
the vocals and the track. The track is pristine and crisp and the vocals don’t match the
intensity. I don’t know if you used some different effects on the hook that you didn’t
use on the verses or what, but they sound like they were recorded in a different place.
Possibly just need to be beefed up and maybe cleaned up with a compressor.

Lyrically- damn. And your voices are great! The recording doesn’t do them justice-
but I hear it!!! I know by now I should know who’s who, but whoever comes in second
had a definite Hov sound. Could be both a positive and a negative. Personally I like
it because Jigga is my favorite rap, but it could turn some off. There have been other
people who sounded like Hov and it took them right out! Fortunately you aren’t solo,
so I think you can get around it. Both of you have tremendous flows and really ride the
track fabulously! Plus there’s a Bubble N’ Blow shout out!! Who wouldn’t love that????
“How we the one’s that’s hot and ya’ll the one’s that’s sweatin’?” I’m DONE!!! LOL!!!

Love the way the track breaks down at the end too. Hook actually gets a little
monotonous towards the end, but it’s effective!

Overall Analysis- I know it seems like I’m being overly critical, but I want you to know
I LOVE this track. I’m disappointed that the mix isn’t where I’d like it to be because I
think the song is unique and really has a tremendous energy. My only concern is that it
is a little ’94 ish,- which is perfect for me, but might not attract every A&R. I think it’s
incredible- and I can tell by the way you perform on the track that there are many more
things you can do, and that you are diverse! The logo for the group is fire, and your
music is incredible! I know allhiphop.com is really behind you and I can see why. My
only advice is spend a whole lotta money on a mix and master to bring the quality up to
your talent level and you are going to be a PROBLEM!!
