The kid has a new one

My kid and his buddy finished this one about a week ago.



They did this one at an open mic and got a standing ovation.



What'ya think?

Wow, that's really good. I'm not big on rap but they blended it in well with the other singer. I like that style of 90's rock rhythm and it is almost two songs in one with the rapping portion. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first but I think they pulled off the integration pretty well - reminds me of Kid Rock. Excellent guitar work, and mixing with the orchestral music too. It's a little too long, I would prefer less than 4 minutes. The very end dragged on a lot longer than necessary also. I would increase the tempo and adjust the tone to a more "MC Hammer/Sir Mix a Lot" in-your-face style during the "rap" part. Perhaps add some cool back-beat drum fill-ins occasionally to keep it flowing during transitions.

Did he want a critique or are you just a beaming proud dad? :-)
