"Song Review: Dirty"

Style: Hip Hop

Thank you very much for this submission. You seem to already have a good notion of what your doing with your music. The production is solid, and the lyrics on the tracks are written good to where its not over done with the typical stuff we are hearing on the radio.

MC has a nice delivery and does a good job with his mic control. Lyrically there's some clever wordplay and good referencing. Song reminds me a little of some Goodie Mob/Outkast type tracks from back in the day. - Taxi


"Song Review: It's Going Down 2nite"

Style: Hip Hop

Melody: Good music in verses and choruses. A good selection of drums with some nice effects layered in nicely and patterned well.

Track is solid throughout. Chorus works good.

Structure: Well-written structure with good sectional contrast.

Lyrics are engaging and cohesive. The vocalists rhyme well and the vocal does help to sell the song. Lyrically the MC's do a good job. A simple laid back southern vibed delivery. Song comes together fine.

Thank you so much for letting me critique this track for you. All the MC's seem to work well together and there seems to be some really good transitions from verse to chorus. The deliveries/rhyme styles are easy on the ears and will definitely be able to keep the listeners attention. The vocalist on the chorus reminds one a little of Nate Dogg and he pulls it off good. Vocally he's really strong. You have a really good track, and the production on it was solid as well. It's nice to hear a different sound coming from the South. Keep up the good work, and best of luck. - Taxi

Bio

The Traveling Circus is back on the block with a new music release just in time for the summer. The Traveling Circus is Jigaboo Child, Kardiac Da Mac, and Xhotkalla. Coming straight out of Goodwater (GH2O), Alabama, these dudes have been inspired to pursue the Hip-Hop life because of their love for the game. The careers of rappers like Outkast, TI and UGK showed these guys that they too could climb from the gutters of the South to worldwide fame and notoriety in hip hop. The Traveling Circus hooked up with the hot production team, Mood Control Productions (moodcontrol.com or myspace.com/moodcontrolproductions), and they've been making hot tracks every since.

Jigaboo, Kardiac and Xhotkalla worked hard and their effort began to pay off when their music was included on a Mood Control Compilation CD release called Relentless. They recorded the title track as well as the club favorite Rollin 4 Deep for the release. Based on the overwhelming response that they received from those tracks, the group began to tour the Southeast. The trio returned to the studio in 2006 to work on material for their first solo release. They collaborated with Mood Control Productions on the project. The result is a CD of the most street credible tracks that the Hip-Hop world has heard in years.

The Traveling Circus' new CD is packed with banging beats and incredible lyrics that will keep car speakers bumping and dance floors packed. It includes the tracks: "Set It Off", which has been ranked in the top five on record pools charts all year long; It's Going Down 2nite, the first single, Mobbin' and Dirty which are both instant classics. The Traveling Circus is primed to take hip hop to another level by showing the world how it's done in that other "A" - Alabama.
